Publisher's Synopsis
The I-Series textbooks strongly emphasise that students learn and master applications skills by being actively engaged. These texts have been written with clear steps to help students accomplish tasks that lead to a finished document, worksheet or database table. The authors believe that teaching how to perform these tasks is not enough for complete understanding and mastery; so they also discuss why the steps that students are about to experience are important, and what role they play in the overall plan. - Each chapter opens with a unique case related to students performing and learning the forthcoming skills. - Tips contains a shortcut or something for the student to avoid. Tips are embedded within the numbered steps so that when a student goes to do something, he or she finds extra help. - Making the Grade: This element comprises 2-5 questions for each major section in a chapter and offers students an opportunity to test their knowledge as it reinforces learning.
