August 19th - Getting Started

GETTING STARTED

First of all, if you don't have access to Microsoft Office 2010, please me at mindy.holder@sccc.edu ASAP.  Most of the computer labs on campus have this software and you are free to work in AA109 or AA113 at anytime.
The text we are using for this course is:  Microsoft Office 2010, A Skills Approach, by Manning and Swinson. McGraw Hill Publishing. ISBN:  978 0 07 351647 9


This blog is where you will find all your assignments for the course.  Please check back every Friday for new assignments and revisions to previous posts.

If you have questions regarding any assignment, please email me at mindy.holder@sccc.edu or stop by my office in the business division.

To get started, you need to download the student data files (unless your text has a CD in the back of the book).  These files can be downloaded by:

• Going to the following web site and clicking on links to download data files to your computer...  http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073516473/student_view0/student_data_files.html

Let me know if you have problems obtaining your data files.

INTRODUCTION TO OFFICE 2010

I will include the PowerPoint for each Unit as an introduction to the Unit.  I highly recommend you go through these PowerPoints to get a quick visual overview of what you will be learning.


PowerPoint for Introduction to Office 2010

This text is laid out very simple.  It has short description and then it has you do a few things.
I would like you to use this chapter as a "get to know the textbook" chapter.
Go slow.  Notice all the different parts:  from the perspective of, tips and tricks, tell me more, and try this.

The chapter ends on page OF-22.

There is nothing to turn in.  However, please email me (mindy.holder@sccc.edu)  when you have completed this overview.

The next thing we will do in the section on Word 2010.

Week of July 18th - REVISED

REVISED!!!!
We are ready to start Access.  Everyone should really take a 3 credit hour course just on Access.  It is not an easy application to learn but it is an extremely beneficial application.

For this final section of the course, you will simply complete all the activities within the chapter.  You do not have to complete any of the end of the chapter activities.  (You can do so at a later time if you choose.)  This will at least give you a good introduction to Access.  Please let me know if you have questions.

Access  Chapter 1
Complete pages AC2 through AC13.
COMPLETE SKILLS REVIEW 1 AND EMAIL THIS DATABASE FILE TO ME.

Access Chapter 2
Complete pages AC21 through AC43.
COMPLETE SKILLS REVIEW 1 AND EMAIL THIS DATABASE FILE TO ME.


That's it.  I  will email you once I have received these files so you know you have got everything turned in.

Again, there is no final for this course.

Week of July 11th

PowerPoint - Chapter 3


Complete pages PP 56 through PP74
Complete Challenge Yourself 1 on page PP-80. Email this to me when completed.


PowerPoint - Chapter 4


Complete pages PP-85 through PP-100.   Simply email me that you have complete these pages.

Week of June 27th

Hopefully you are getting closer to being done with the Word and Excel assignments.  And hopefully, I will continue to have quiet moments at 2:00ish in the mornings to grade!

Have no fear... we will all be successful!

Ok, so we are going to move on to PowerPoint which should be a nice break from Excel.  Excel can be difficult to learn and you all had some tough assignments with Excel.  However, you would be amazed at how you will rejoice someday when you can complete so many tasks more efficiently because you know Excel!  Really!!

Getting Started:

• Make sure you have all the files downloaded for PowerPoint

Chapter 1

• Complete pages PP-3 through PP-15
• Complete Skill Review 1.2 on pages PP-18 through PP-20.  Email this to me.
• Complete Challenge Yourself 2 on pages PP-22 through 23.  Email this to me.

Chapter 2

• Complete pages PP-25 through PP-42
• Complete Challenge Yourself 1 on pages PP-50 through PP-51.  Email this to me.

Week of June 20th

This week, I want you to continue with last week's assignments and then we are also going to just add Chapter 4 of Excel.  Hopefully, this will give you time to catch up if you need to.  Summer classes can be overwhelming..even for the instructor!  Please call or text me at 620 629 0610 if you have asked a question and I don't get it answered.  I look through my emails on my phone and flag the ones from my students assuming its an assignment you are submitting only to find out a week later you had a question.  So in other words, feel free to bug me if I don't get your questions answered.

Excel Chapter 4 - Adding Charts and Analyzing Data

• Complete pages EX-115 through EX - 140.
• Complete the Skills Review 4.1.  Email me your completed file.

Monday, June 13 through Friday, June 17th

At this time we are going to skip chapters 4 and 5 of Word and move on to Excel.

Also, I'm testing out a new free online gradebook called Engrade.  I will have you logins and passwords set up this week and email them to you.  This way you can go online to that site and see what assignments I have graded for you.  All assignments will be worth a certain number of points and basically I grade on the all or nothing scale... either you got the assignment or you didn't.  If you didn't, I will ask you to redo it and then resubmit.  You can still get all your points for that assignment.

Also, the only due date in this class is basically having everything finished by the end of the session.  If you have a bad week and you fall behind, simply get caught up the next week.

Okay, so on the Excel!

You should already have the files for Excel downloaded.
