Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did five years ago. With this in mind, the new edition of Exploring moves students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing coverage of the fundamental skills that everybody needs to know.
Diversity: Students have diverse career goals. To target the variety of majors taking the course, Exploring offers examples relevant to every student.
Studying Made Easy: Students read, prepare, and study differently than they used to. Rather than reading a book cover-to-cover, students want to easily identify what they need to know, and then learn it efficiently. The key features bring students into the content, making the text easy to use.
Pull Quotes entice students into the theory by highlighting the most interesting points.
