Exploring: Microsoft Excel 2013, Comprehensive

The Exploring series charts students beyond the “point and click,” helping them understand WHY they use Microsoft Office skills along with HOW they perform them. The latest edition provides an easy-to-follow map through each chapter to help students learn, study, and review efficiently and be successful in this class and beyond.

New to the Exploring Series:

• Step Icons incorporated throughout the white pages allow students to quickly reference these concepts when trying to complete the steps in the Hands-On Exercises.
• Quick Concept Check helps students focus on the key concepts from the white page section preceding a Hands-On Exercise. Page numbers link the questions back to the white pages for review.
• New Hands-On Exercise Videos cover both the essential Why & How of each exercise, walking students through the click path and explaining the concepts throughout.
• New Key Terms Matching exercise requires students to actively match the key terms to their definitions, providing page numbers for reference back to the chapter.
• New Mid-Level Exercises:
• Collaboration Exercises introduce students to new technologies to help them work collaboratively.
• Analysis Cases require students to take a step back from the project and analyze and interpret the data they are working with.
• New Beyond the Classroom Exercise:
• Soft Skills Exercises introduce videos on skills like interview etiquette and time management and re¿quire students to use the Office applications to explore those skills more deeply.
• Application Capstone exercises are included in the book to allow instructors to test students on the en¿tire contents of a single application. These are also Grader Projects in MyITLab.
• More Grader Projects include not only the chapter Capstone Exercise, but also 2-3 Mid-Level Exercises per chapter.
• MOS Certification Guide for instructors and students to direct anyone interested in prepping for the MOS exam to the specific locations to find all content required for the test.
