Brick

Students may purchase a copy of the COMP1900 Reading Brick, a manual called Microsoft Office97 Introductory which has a bright blue cover and costs $15. Office97 is an earlier PC version of the software we'll be using in the Mac lab.

To purchase the Brick

To collect the brick

Bring your receipt to the Reception Area on the third floor of the CS&IT Building [108].
Note:With the Brick you will receive a (free) copy of the Department of Computer Science (DCS) Student Handbook. Most of it is not relevant to COMP1900 students, but you should read the chapter Assessment in computer science courses.
