Computer Basics

The main objective of the course is to make the students familiar to the basic knowledge of computer and information science. Students will be able to independently use software tools during the course of the study and, subsequently for searching information search and preparing reports, project assignments, presentations, and other materials.

Prior knowledge of computer basics would be advantageous, but is not required. The course is designed for the beginners.

• Basic knowledge of computer science:
◦ History and use of computers
◦ Introduction to informatics
◦ Structure and operation of the computer
◦ Computer hardware and software
◦ Computer networks and internet
◦ Trends in computer science
• basic skills that are necessary for computer-based processing and analysis of texts in linguistics
• use of the Internet as a source of information and tool for linguists
• use of electronic dictionaries and concordancers

At the end of the course, the students will be able to understand and use:
• computers and its components,
• essential concepts of computer and information science
• different input and output devices
• computer hardware and software
• different types of application software
• internet sources
