Study Tip - Week 33
Second Helpings
Often students get "stuck," and it has nothing to do with the content of their courses, difficulty understanding a dictator, or questions about assignments. It's very frustrating to be trying to transcribe a difficult dictator or do your homework and turn it in when you lack facility with the software and equipment required to complete your work. What can you do?
Whenever you encounter a new software program, first read and follow the installation instructions carefully. If the software is already installed, look for a "read me" file or user manual and read that. Once you open the software, look at each of the menu options across the top. Most will be drop-down menus with additional options. Click on each menu and look at the options. Do you know what each selection does? If not, make a note to research it after you've examined all the menus.
When you've finished looking at the menus, use the Help menu to search for those options you were unfamiliar with. If the software comes with tutorials, go through the tutorials. There may even be free tutorials online if the software did not come with any.
Next, set your preferences; they will be under one of the drop-down menus (often, the first menu but sometimes edit or tools). As you are working in the program, use the help menu if you encounter any problems or need to know how to do something in particular, for example, type a nonbreaking hyphen or space. Remember, almost every program, even Windows, has a Help menu.
If you find you must ask for outside help, be sure that you can explain the problem clearly and outline everything you've already done to solve the problem. If you're calling tech support for computer issues, you will need to be able to tell them what kind and the version of the operating system you have. You may need additional information as well, so know where to find information such as processor speed, RAM, etc. For software, you'll need the name and version and possibly the serial number if you're getting support from the developer.
Before asking for outside help, be sure you've done everything you can to solve the problem, especially before posting a request for help in a chat room or forum.
