As an administrative assistant in a four year university I have noticed an increasing amount of students who have taken an Introduction to Computers Class and does not know how to save a document. There is more that you need to learn in that class and as seniors come to me and ask me how to do things that they should have learned, makes me recommend this book to them.

I have a copy of this book and I use it frequently when I tutor students in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I also use this book to tutor beginners who know nothing about computers. By the time I have let them read the chapters and done the work at the end of the chapters in this book, they have had a better understanding of computer concepts and terms.

I recommend this book highly as an effective tool for teaching in an Introduction to Computers Class.

I purchased this book as a text for a college-level CIS introduction course. Although it has very nice enrichment segments, great photos and icons, it is limited in actual educational effect. Many key concepts are not thoroughly taught or taught in such a manner that they are truly reinforced. Also, the quiz questions provided at the end of the chapter are poorly written and oftentimes confusing from a tests and measurement standpoint. Moreover, there are no answers supplied for these quizzes within the text itself. I find the book adequate but nowhere near exceptional.

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR A CLASS I WAS TAKING BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PRETTY GOOD REFERENCE BOOK AS WELL.

item came as stated, new in wrapping, fast shipping, overall very satisfied with my purchase. Most likely to purchase again in the future.

much of the information in this book is outdated, and for this i would suggest a newer edition of the book.

Thank you for the fast shipping and details before I purchased the book were very accurate.

It's an excellent way to learn computers, even though it was published in 2002 and technology is evolving at an extremely rapid pace.

This book is a great book for the beginner wanting to learn the inner workings of a PC.

I ordered 16 textbooks from 16 different places. Some of the packages came with invoices and some did not. It is hard to check off the ones that I have received. At this point I am a book short. I am trying to figure out which one I did not get. I have narrowed it down to these four companies: jettext, daisysunflower, bigelow87, and katie11988. It would be appreciated if I could get some help with this and that in the future they all include invoices so you have the order#!!!!!

The book is very easy to follow. I use it to teach Introduction to Computers. It covers all aspects of information systems and uses of computers.
