Course Description: This competency based course is intended to train students in the entry level skills needed for computerrelated occupations. Students will learn Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Desktop Information Management,
Database, File Management, use of Internet, photo manipulation, and keyboarding.
Course Objective: Welcome to CBA Level 1. Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics of Microsoft Office 2013
and will enhance their skills by conducting hands-on training via projects, case studies, lesson plans and presentations.
Textbooks: Textbooks will be assigned to student by number. Textbooks will be students responsibility. If textbook is lost or
written in student will be responsible for replacing textbook. Textbook prices range from $10-$75.
Materials: The student must come to class prepared with Binder, binder paper, 2-pencils, 2-pens and any other materials
needed for learning.
Tardy Policy: SUHSD policy will be followed. Late to class 30 minutes or more is equal to an absence. Tardies will cost you
5 pts. per day. I ask that you be on time and seated by the time class starts, if you are late you will lose 5 points. (Tardy number
3 = call parent, Tardy number 5 = U citizenship)
Attendance Policy: Class time is very important. Absences limit point opportunities, especially for class work and
participation activities. Its necessary to be in class every day in order to receive a satisfactory grade and earn full credits.
Absences will cost you participation points (10 pts. per day).
Career Center: If for some reason you are unable to attend class you must report to the Career Center and you MUST call me
to report your absence, and you must request an assignment, you will be graded on behavior and performance when you are in
the Career Center. The Career Center cannot be used as an excuse not to come to class. Every time you are at the Career
Center you will lose 10 points. (Career Center number 5 = U in citizenship).
Restroom Use: Students are asked to use the restroom before or after class. There is plenty of time between classes to take
care of business. Restroom use will not be allowed the first 15 minutes from the start of class or the last 15 from the end of
class.

must:
1. Turn in all assignments (late assignments are acceptable).
