Computer Literacy for Ic3 - 2007 Update

the book was kept welL! I liked it when I received it! thank you! :)

The book came as described, was priced reasonably, and arrived promptly and undamaged. Thank you for this easy transaction!

I was looking for a book that I could use to provide non-technical students with basic skills. This book was just what I was looking for and helped me plan out my class. I like the way the book is divided into sections that gradually build. Some information is repeated but this helps students to understand the material. Overall a great book if you want to learn computer basics.

I have been teaching people of all ages how to use (including all versions of Windows and Office) and build computers for over 6 years now. I just decided to get a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology and was told that I needed to pass the IC3 exams as an introductory course. Thinking that I could probably pass the exams in my sleep, I ordered this book to look over the material anyway just to make sure that I wasn't being overconfident. I learned a couple of obscure things that I hadn't known before and I'm only 1/2 way through the book. It was worth it to me (bought it used). This book was written assuming that the person reading it knows virtually nothing about how to use Windows or Office. Why does it concentrate on products from Microsoft? Because that is what the IC3 exam will cover. Simple as that - the book prepares you for the exam. The book does not talk over a person's head - it is plainly written with great examples. Lots of color pictures along the way to illustrate key points too. My only complaint is that it assumes you are part of a class that is teacher lead - which is a problem if you are home-studying like I am. There's no answer key to the questions then, but you should be able to figure out the correct answer as it lets you know which part of the chapter to look in for the answer.
