Abstract:
Blending computer skills into an orientation course has tremendous advantages for the students, the faculty, and the curriculum. Computer topics, resource availability, leadership development, discussion of personality type, and employment advice have been blended together into a one-hour course for agricultural economics majors in such a way that the non-computer topics provide a reason for the use of the computer lab and the computer instruction gives students the background to complete the assignments with greatly reduced frustration levels. Although the mix of topics at first sounds unusual and incompatible, it can be developed into an extremely effective package.
