Description

Using a horizontal organization (i.e., by task rather than program) Computer Literacy introduces students in the behavioral sciences to the computer resources they use on campus to do their work. Beginning with an introduction to computers, authors Ira H. Bernstein and Paul Havig use numerous examples with demonstrations (such as how to export an Excel file to a Word file) to show the reader how to select between programs for their specific needs, how to use the computer for communication and literature search purposes, how to use computers for databases and statistical programming, and some basics of computer programming. To enhance your students reading, the authors provide:
