Interactive Tutorial

(material ends)

An interactive, basic level tutorial program is available on computers in the Integrated Learning Center (ILC). This is a PowerPoint presentation, using animations, links to Excel, and voice narration to help you get started using your computer text. The tutorial shows how to get the most benefit from your course material, by the effective use of both the running and non-running modes of PowerPoint.

Topics are described with both audio and visual presentations, and are then illustrated with animations. The presentation pauses while you practice the new operations. A small amount of time spent with the tutorial may help you avoid some of the problems that can occur with the use of unfamiliar software. All of the material is presented at a very basic level, assuming no prior experience with PowerPoint or Excel.

Graded homework assignments are to be handed in at the start of class on the announced due dates.

These exercises will be listed in Word files, which will be posted on your instructor’s web page. To complete an assignment, solve the problems, open the appropriate file in Word, and enter the required information on the cover sheet. Word process your solutions, then save and print the file. On some assignments, you will also need to include material copied from Excel files that you have created.

Your instructor will indicate whether these assignments are to be completed individually, or by more than one member of a currently operating project team. Credit for the assignment will be given to those students whose signatures appear on the cover sheet. Work done by members of two or more project teams is not acceptable and can be viewed as plagiarism.
