| Message from instructor(s) |
|
PC skills are an essential part of university student life. However, if you look at a PC from the perspective of a tool for writing reports, you may find it hard to use. The shortcut to improvement is to think not about what you can do with a PC, but how you can use it to do the things you want to do in your university student life, such as in your hobbies and clubs. Try to use it for daily life. |
