Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Helped me ace "Computers 101" at St. John's U. [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Easy enough for a technophobe to learn from. Concepts explained well, although a bit drawn out at times. I don't know how it compares to other instruction manuals, but this one got me through a year of basic computer science at St. John's U.2) Pretty good info, Doesn't instill as much "critical thinking" [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I work in a world where critical thinking skills are a must, so for things like this you should have more exercises that are "at your own pace" and "figure it out yourself" type of deal.This book is also horribly lacking the ability to check how close your Office document that YOU made to their example. It's no use if you don't know how well you did. Things can look similar, but there are probably errors here-or-there.It's fairly comprehensive, but like I said, since you don't really use your brain much, you don't really gain the ability to do these type of things on your own.3) Great Book, For Those Who Are New To Computers! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This is a great textbook! This book is very easy to follow, as it has provided step-by-step instructions on how to do each of the chapters in this book and of Office XP. It also has a chapter review section with more exercises.
