Philosophy

          It is my belief that, in this day and age, computer education, no matter what the level, is of and by itself one of the most important skills needed by our students. Unfortunately, today's "test crazy" environment demands some sort of numeric representation of a student's skill. So, while there will be periodic assessments administered during the course's term, the main focus will remain skill acquisition with assessment aimed at basic knowledge and skills.
