UPC0004 Week 2

Summary

Lecture
For this week's lecture, we were informed of the various computer applications we would require use in order to complete certain tasks with maximum efficiency. Applications such as Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer would be most needed for the tasks we are to complete in this unit.

Tutorial
In this week's tutorial our task was to follow a guide in order to acquire the appropriate skills when using Microsoft Word. Our second task was then to create a timetable similar to that of a picture provided through the use of Microsoft Excel. Both tasks were fairly simple although some issues were experienced due to the lack of use of the applications.
