How to Fix Your Own Computer (face to face)

This course will cover the basics of computer hardware and software, diagnosis of common problems, and solutions so that you can know how to fix everyday issues, talk to and understand technical support, and get your devices up and running. Students are encouraged to bring their own portable devices (laptops or tablet computers). Instructor: Scott Ward.
