Integrated Project files

You will need several files for the Integrated Project homework assignment. Most of them are in the directory 01_student_data_files\06_integrated_projects\chapter_01.

I feel that the class has a good understanding of PowerPoint so instead of having everyone create a new presentation from scratch in class tomorrow, I uploaded i01_Team_Presentation.pptx to Google Docs. Please download this file to your flash drive.

Term paper uploads

Update

See note at the end of the post.

Most students were able to successfully upload their term papers to the myItLab. Unfortunately, since I have to read and grade each exam individually by hand, this means that I cannot promise to have all of the term papers graded by next class.

Excel assignment #1 recap

Quite a few students misread step #5 of this homework assignment. The instruction read

In cell F5, construct a formula that will subtract cell E5 from B5.

The correct formula is

     = B5 - E5

not

     = E5 - B5

myItLab account issues

Several students continue to have myItLab issues. Please read this post in its entirety to ensure that you (a) have an appropriately configured account, and (b) are properly uploading your work for evaluation.

Browser support

Some students were asking about which browser they should use when they are on the myItLab website. The only browsers listed as supported are:

• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 8
• Internet Explorer 9
• Safari 5

Since they are not listed as supported, you shouldn't bother trying to use Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Word assignment #1

Be sure to read the blog post Using Grader. You will be completing and submitting your homework assignments for Word, Excel, and Access using the Grader module of myItLab.

Using Grader

This semester, we are using a relatively new functionality in myItLab. It is called "Grader" and was recently included in the suite of tools available in myItLab.

Most of your Office homework assignments will be completed using Grader so this is a tutorial to ensure that all students are clear on how to use the tool.

myItLab accounts, access codes

Just a reminder that we will be creating your

accounts in class next week, September 13th.

All students must have a MyITLab account. All seven exams in this class will be taken online using the MyITLab software. Office 2007 homework assignments will also be uploaded for grading using the MyITLab website.

PowerPoint assignment

Each student must create a slide show presentation using PowerPoint 2010. The project must be created in PowerPoint 2010, not 2007 nor 2003. Remember: all lab exams are administered using Office 2010.

This tutorial will walk you through the requirements for the homework assignment.
