L Requirement One: Master the Tasks. You must do all the tasks marked with one asterisk
listed on the Task Check-Off Chart.
As you learn how to do each task, on the dotted line next to a task,
show your level of progress by writing one of the following letters:
T =
Accomplished with Teacher's help
S =
Accomplished with the help of another Student
I = Accomplished Independently
although you may have had to refer to your textbook, class notes, or the Word
on-line help.
Exercise
3
Your attendance requirement is based on the following
EPS administrative statement applying to this course:
Attendance at all EPS class meetings/times is
mandatory. Permission for an excused absence must be obtained from the EPS
instructor and must be based on extreme circumstances. Any absence, as determined by the instructor,
may result in the student being dropped from the class.
! Maximum two hour absence for credit eligibility.
Using this administrative statement as a guideline, your instructor has
determined that any student missing more than two hours of class time cannot
complete the requirements and will not be eligible for credit.

Attorney Harriet Martin
743 Jenkins Blvd.
Largo, Fl 34669
Dear Attorney Martin:
I am responding to your classified ad for an office
assistant in today's St. Petersburg Times. Your ad specifically states,
"Applicants must be proficient in Word." I am happy to tell
you that just last month I completed a course in Word at Winster
College. I earned a final course grade of A. I have my own computer at home and
have been practicing Word for at least two hours a day since I finished
the course on August 15.
My resume is enclosed. I will call in a few days to
see if you are willing to see me for an interview. I hope you will give me the
chance to prove that I can be a real asset to your office.
Sincerely,
(Mrs.) Janice Gorman

Exercise 6
To: Nancy Harris, Board President,
Waterside Assoc.
From: Edward Richards, Chairman of
Building Committee
Date: May 3, 1994
Subject: Decorating halls by individual owners
Copies: John Thompson, William Kaiser, Ethel
Hart, Janice Forest, Tina Wyn, Jake Harper, Billy
Thursday, Caryn Hall, Millie Kaiser
Take a Stand, Please
I urge
the Board to take a stand regarding the display of personally owned items in
commonly owned areas in our building's hallways. I agree that in some
instances, these personally owned items help to make the hallways more
attractive, but in other cases, I find them hurting rather than enhancing the
decor of our building, cheapening it rather than enriching it.
If the Board takes no action, I fear more owners will
decorate commonly owned areas, forcing their individual tastes on their
neighbors.
Specific
Guidelines Needed
If our condo regulations restrict such display of
privately owned items in common areas, I urge the Board to enforce these
regulations. If the Board decides to allow some items such as mail-baskets, I
request the Board spell out in detail what is not allowed. The specifics should
deal with such questions as these:
# If doormats are allowed, any size limits? Can they be any color or pattern even if they
clash with the hallway rug?
# How about the acceptable size or placement of
artificial plants or trees?
# Can religious symbols be displayed on the exterior of
apartment doors and along adjoining walls?
If owners find the hallways unattractive, the answer
is not in each owner taking individual action, but in all of us working
together as an association through our elected Board, adhering to our condo
rules designed for the common good.
Exercise 7
The Chairman will ask for
volunteers to do research on those suggestions requiring more information for
further evaluation. Some questions requiring further research might be S
L How much
will carrying out a suggestion cost? Can we afford it even if it means a
special assessment?
L Are there
other condos in our area that have tried out these suggestions? Can we contact
their Board directors?
L How can we
determine if a suggestion will win the endorsement of most of our owners?
