The course is constituted out of 3 different articles that are all situated on this website. The first one is a timeline of computers. The second one is a more detailed explanation of the history with a connected forum (simply click on the button "discussion" when you read the article) in which you will find questions to the first two articles that you will be required to answer them first by your own and than discuss them with the other participants of this course including the supervisor of this course. The students will be required to comment in this forum but only about the subject of the article and not anything else. The student will be graded by the participation in the discussion and proof of the knowledge. Finally the last article explains the major categories of computers. Following this article another forum with the same rules is present. Good luck and study hard!
