Long description
This CD-ROM covers the essential elements of Excel for the analysis of business problems, with narrated live action screen videos, and supplementary exercises for the students to complete to cement the ideas. Its 9 modules each cover a different aspect of the use of Excel, starting from the ground up. Topics include using the Excel menus, data tables, using the solver, graphing, using spreadsheets for basic statistics, regression, and using pivot tables for complex data sets.
Review
The CD-ROM's value lies in several different modes. First as a remedial tool for refreshing students' understanding of expected (prerequisite) Excel skills...Secondly, it would serve as a supplemental source for material covered in class...Finally, it could be the sole source for techniques not covered in class, but which the students are expected to learn on their own...The strengths of the project are in these multiple uses and in the ability of the student to view and review material at their own pace.
