Students' competencies Students will acquire the general and professional competencies needed to work
independently on a personal computer. They will understand what the
components of a computer are, what an operating system is, and what software is.
They will use the functions of the operating system to work with data
independently and will use the basic package of office applications (word
processing, spreadsheets, presentations, e-mail and the Internet). They will be
familiar with data protection and privacy procedures when working with a
computer in a network environment

Prerequisites for course Attendance at classes and laboratory exercises min. 80%
approval (lecturer’s
signature):
Prerequisites for taking Signature + term paper + passed exercises (office applications + Internet) min. 75%

Grading scale: (According to the Regulations on student assessment of Karlovac University of
Applied Sciences, Article 9, Paragraph 5)
90-100 - excellent (5) (A)
80 to 89.9 - very good (4) (B)
65 to 79.9 - good (3) (C)
60 to 64.9 - sufficient (2) (D)
50 to 59.9 - sufficient (2) (E)
0 to 49.9 – fail (1) (F)
