Under the patronage of the IT Center, the fIT team at RWTH Aachen University (fit in IT) has been offering free IT training for students since the summer semester of 2008. The team is made up of student assistants who organize themselves independently to a large extent. The courses teach the use of common IT programs (currently Office package, SPSS, LaTeX, Matlab) as well as presentation techniques. This should help to use the own resources and those of the RWTH more effectively.
The project is financed by quality improvement funds from the state of NRW. These serve to improve teaching and study conditions.
Today, IT competence increasingly represents one of the fundamental key qualifications. Whether for successful studies or professional opportunities: the routine mastery of the tool PC and its software as well as the reliable information retrieval on the Internet are of enormous importance.
Our courses
The focus of all courses is on the use of the software in everyday study:
- How do I write my term papers?
- How do I evaluate measurement series or statistics?
- How do I organize my information?
- How do I present my term papers or study results?
More courses may be added in the course of the coming semesters. The decisive factor for the redesign of courses is demand!
