Computer
Proficiency Examination
The National Hispanic University
has implemented a Computer Proficiency
Assessment Program (SAM 2007 – Skills
Assessment Manager 2007) that measures a
student’s proficiency in computer application
skills (Word Processing, Presentation
Development, Spreadsheet and Database). The
assessment considers four individual
examinations; each measuring the skills learned
in the CS 100 and CS 103 courses. These
examinations are required of all new students.
The following are the keys features of the
examinations.
1. The examination will be given
in the computer laboratory, library or SAAC. A
client/server environment will accommodate the
testing process.
2. The
examination will be given during the CS 100 and
CS 103 classes. The SAM 2000 assessment consists
of the following 4 examinations:
CS 100
midterm exam
CS 100
final exam
CS 103
midterm exam
CS 103
final exam
3. A minimum score of 70% must
be achieved for each examination.
4. All students’ records will be
stored on the SAM 2000 server database.
5. If students want to challenge
CS 100 and/or CS 103 course(s), they must do so
separately. See the catalog section “Credit
by Examination” for details.
6. Even if students successfully
challenge the CS 100 and/or CS 103 course(s),
they still must pay the tuition for the credited
units.
