Post Description

PROBLEM-SOLVING CASES IN MICROSOFT® ACCESS® AND EXCEL®, 9th Edition helps students apply the Access® database management system and Excel® spreadsheet to effectively analyze and solve real-world, business problems. Six individual tutorials in the text build a practical knowledge of each software application's capabilities, while twelve all-new case studies present scenarios and problems common in business. Further, a skill-building integration feature requires students to use Access® and Excel® together on cases, making this the most up-to-date, practical guide for these widely used software programs. Instructor support materials can be found in the Instructor Downloads section of www.cengage.com/coursetechnology, and are accessible by Single-Sign On (SSO) username and password. Designed to facilitate classroom instruction, these resources include six new Hall of Fame cases, along with new solution files, syllabus, Student Data Files, and a new Instructor's Manual.

    Realistic Business Scenarios: Students examine twelve new cases, each introducing a commonly occurring business issue, and learn how to use Excel® and Access® to analyze and help solve problems.
    Skill-building Instruction: Hands-on tutorials demonstrate the ins and outs of Microsoft® Access® and Excel® 2010, and prepare students for the real workplace by testing their spreadsheet and database skills.
    Extra Cases: In addition to the cases in the text, students and instructors can access Hall of Fame cases from past editions at www.cengage.com.
    Data Analysis Techniques: A sixth tutorial covers Excel® Data Analysis Techniques, a more complex use of the Excel® spreadsheet that will deepen student understanding of the software.
    Integration Cases: Two cases in the text require students to apply both Access® and Excel® simultaneously, helping to develop analytical skills while giving them valuable practice using newly acquired knowledge.
