FALSE

Do I have the minimum skills necessary to take an online class?
While you don't need to be a computer genius to take online classes you do need basic computer skills. 
You need to know how to: 

  • Turn your computer on and off
  • Log on to the Internet 
  • Send email 
  • Word process 
  • Attach files 
  • Download information 
  • Browse the Web
  • Ask questions when you don't understand something
  • Get your password and log onto your class before the semester begins

It is absolutely necessary to have a minimum working knowledge of computers and a word processing program to be successful in an online class. These are easy skills to learn but not at the same time that you begin to take your online class.
