Most faculties have some kind of non-academic points
(sometimes mandatory for graduating like in ie) lab usages.
I.e. how to use word/office dos commands, unix commands, vi.
I am teaching one now at the IE faculty and I was thinking
of introducing latex.
Btw, since I moved to tx I don't have a t2 account anymore
and I don't know if they have latex there (they probably do).
Does anyone have a prepared latex lecture for 2 hrs with examples
that the students can do?
Regards,
tzahi.
