Integrated Computer Applications (with Data CD-ROM)

includes Data CD-ROM Review "The coverage of material is excellent...each instructor can use or not use whichever sections they desire and adapt it to the course in which they teach. Regarding the Quick Checks--my students like to see an example, as it helps them to complete a project when they have something to go by visually.""At MGCCC, this course is taught in an online format. The step-by-step instructions included in the textbook make it easy for the students who are not receiving face-to-face instruction to complete the drills and projects contained within the textbook without the dependency of an instructor. The inclusion of the Tip boxes in the margins provides additional instruction and information as well. Often, these tips save the students from asking unnecessary questions."As far as the Internal Design, I am very impressed with the new look. The cover page for each module is much brighter and easier to read with the Essentials and Beyond the Essentials. Likewise, the entire layout is much more impressive--wider margins, more use of color to highlight special topics and notes. Good use of black and yellow highlighting for notations."
