• People usually take both CIT105P & CIT106P together (as recommended), since they are offered as part of the CIT PACE Block of classes (although it is no longer required to take them together).
• The key to these classes together is to remember that you are enrolled in two different classes that have two different perspectives on computers:
  • CIT 105P: A Hardware/Software View of Computers (Lab Assignments).
  • CIT 106P: A Societal View of Computers (Reading & Writing Assignments).
• See the Introduction Page on tips to get started. Look at the Calendar Schedule for more details of how to coordinate the assignments, and see the Assignments Page for more detail on the Assignments themselves. See the Syllabus Page for more info about getting the textbook. See the Email HW Page for info on how to submit Homework Assignments.

• The software for CIT105P, Microsoft Office Pro, is available in the UMKC Computer Labs. If you wish to buy a discounted educational full version of the software at the Bookstore for yourself, you can purchase the software suite at about 15-25% of the normal retail cost (for example, $70 instead of $375-$400, retail). It is not required to purchase the software, but you are expected to use this particular software.
• The software, Microsoft Office Pro, covers the various software tools used in the CIT105P class: Word Processing (Word), Spreadsheet (Excel), Database (Access), and Presentation software (Power Point).
• Course Materials and Quizzes can be found on the Blackboard Course Content link on the left side of your screen.
• Grades are available on the Blackboard My Grades link (or on the Tools link), also on the left side of your screen.
