Todays lecture was mainly focussed on how students can loctate places around the campus for example support services and the library.
he lecturer also spoke about how important it is for students to know how to activate the Ecu website for future use.
There are 6 modules and 3 assessments Including an examination, that need to be completed.
The assesment Content was expressed thoroughly where the lecture elucidated the fact that there will be a penaltie given gor late work without a medical certificate or an exceptional excuse.
Students need to pass all assessments to pass this course. Students were also told that it is ok to ask for help when required by tutors or lecturerers.
All students must attend all lectures/tutorials not only to be successful but to also have that one on one interaction with tutors.
One topic that was expressed seriously was plagairism not only does the Stuff of UPC take it seriously but its is strongly disregarded by the intire University. Tutors use a site called Turnitin to see if any students have handed in previous students work or just copied and pasted off the internet.
Tne unit accessing and organising knowledge is very useful because Pcs have becom useful tools for business, personal and leisural use.

How stuff works
This website http://www.howstuffworks.com/pc.htm, talks about PCs in the general sense and all the different parts that go into them. It teaches about the various mechanisms and how they work together in a basic operating session. It also shows what the future may hold for these machines. It provides articles, explanations and expert reviews on things that have to do with technology, largely with computers.
