General Workshops
OIT workshops are open to UMass students, faculty, and staff. We are currently offering:
Dissertation & Thesis Formatting
The Office of Information Technologies offers workshops with detailed instructions on how to format a thesis or dissertation to meet the requirements of the University of Massachusetts Graduate School using Microsoft Word for Windows or Macintosh. The workshops include margins, footnotes, bibliographies, page numbering, headings, table of contents, etc. as well as advice about electronic submission. Because Word 2007 is quite different from previous versions of Word, there are two workshops: one for users of Word 2007 (including people who will be working in the OIT classrooms), and one for all other versions of Word (Mac or Windows).
Microsoft Word 2007
Dates & Times:
Monday, October 26 • 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Because Word 2007 is quite different from previous versions of Word, this workshop is only for users of Word 2007 (including people who will be working in the OIT classrooms), not earlier versions of Word.
Prerequisites: Some knowledge of Microsoft Word 2007.
Microsoft Word, Other Versions
Dates and Times:
Monday, November 2 • 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
This workshop is for people using previous versions of Word for Macintosh or Windows. The course is taught on Macintosh computers, but the Mac versions of Word are sufficiently similar for Windows users to participate. You need to tell us exactly which version of Word you are using when you register so we will have the appropriate course materials for you.
Prerequisite: Some knowledge of the version of Microsoft Word that you are using.
Registration
Registration is required and is not complete until you have paid the $10 fee and told us which version of Word you are using. These classes fill early – do not wait until the last minute to register. To register, go to the Administrative Desk in A119 Lederle Lowrise (LGRC). For information, send email to workshops@oit.umass.edu
