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.
Good news: everyone passed this test! The class average for the Word/PowerPoint exam was 91.1%. One student had a perfect score, nearly half the class earned As, and the lowest grade was a 79.2. It was my observation that the students who did not take the practice test on their own tended to score lowest on this exam. Be sure to avoid this mistake on the Excel and Access exams.
Late in today's class, I was able to reliably reproduce a solution to the practice test question regarding changing the font size in the Notes pane of a PowerPoint slide.
No late PowerPoint and/or Word homework assignments will be accepted after 8:00am on Monday, October 3rd. Your Word/PowerPoint exam is scheduled for Tuesday, October 4th.
The Word/PowerPoint practice test is now available on myItLab. You may be directed to install an ActiveX control to allow the simulation to work. Install it. Also, it may take several seconds to a minute or so for the simulation to load. Be patient. Get yourself a lovely beverage or a nice snack while you wait :o)
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.
Just a little reminder about your PowerPoint presentations. Bring your file to class on your USB flash drive (or external hard drive). Do not print out your slides: none of your work in this class will be submitted as hard copy. We will be creating your MyITLab accounts in class on Tuesday and you will upload the files to submit for grading.
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.
