Computer application courses should be hands on courses that allow the student to gain skills and confidence in manipulating the computer program to produce the results the student wants.

Computers can be valuable resources for students in their coursework. If the computer can be fully utilized, it will enhance learning, enhance course work, and improve a student’s grade.
