Editorial Reviews

Review

"Students appreciate the detail of instruction the Shelly Cashman Series texts offer and the numerous resources made available to them. The instructions are exact and they are able to compare their screen with those pictured in the book. Once students have taken a course using a Shelly Cashman text, they do not want a book by anyone else." - Linda Haberaecker, Davenport University

"The Shelly Cashman Series is to computer applications as Kleenex is to tissue." - Instructor Diane Folse

"I use the Cases and Places exercises as graded assignments, as well as for extra credit. They provide little guidance; the student has to apply what they learned in the project itself. This allows for flexibility; the student can use the formatting and layout that they want to in solving the problem. The solution files provided on CD make it convenient for grading/correcting as well as demonstration. I plan to continue to use the Shelly Cashman Series in my online and traditional course. The student feedback on the text is excellent. In fact, most students say they will keep the text as a source for future reference." - Associate Professor Thaddeus Jones, Jefferson Community College

" Shelly Cashman Series is the most comprehensive tool to prepare students for the Microsoft Office Specialist certification and future employment. The text is very thorough and closely aligns the teaching objectives to the Microsoft Office Specialist skill sets. The exercises in the text are also accurately mapped to the exams." - Professor Juanita H. Marquez, El Centro College

"After using your text this past semester, I think it is great! The instructor's supplemental material (tests, practice, PowerPoint slides, etc...) make the teaching task easier! The book and supporting materials are ten times better than our previous text." - Dr. Stanley E Meyers, Norwalk Community College

This review is from: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003: Introductory Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman) (Paperback)

This book is good for someone new to Outlook but the questions I had were not answered here. I found what I needed by searching online. I did, however, benefit from the book by learning some of the elemental tasks that I had not yet encountered. I'm still a very big fan of the Shelly/Cashman series.
