The GO! System: Designed for Student Success!

The goal of the GO! Series is to provide you with the skills to solve business problems using the computer as a tool, for both yourself and the organization for which you might be employed. When you use the GO! Series in one of your courses, you use a “system” that includes a textbook, CD, and Companion Website with tools like videos and self-study aides.

Student CD Package
The Student CD package that comes with your book includes a CD to help you complete every project faster!

• Student Videos help you visually learn the skills in each chapter.
• Student Data Files needed to complete the projects in the textbook.

Student Textbook
• Project-based so you learn by creating real world projects, not by reading long pages of text or simply practicing features of an application.
• Very clear instruction directs you first where to go, then what to do, when completing steps of the projects to help ensure you don’t get lost.
• Visual Summary shows you up front what your completed project will look like, and a File Guide clearly shows you which files are needed for each project and how to save the document.
• Lots of large screen shots allow you to check your work and make sure you are on the right track at numerous points in the project.

Student Companion Web Site: www.pearsonhighered.com/go
An interactive web site featuring self-study tools to help you succeed in this course!

• Online Study Guide provides practice of the chapter material by answering auto-graded objective questions.
• Glossary of key terms reinforces terminology as you learn the language of computing.
• Student Data Files needed to complete the projects in the book are downloadable from this site.

Caracteristici

Project-Based Approach: GO!’s project-based approach clusters the learning objectives around the projects, rather than around software features. Overall, this approach teaches students to solve real problems as they practice and learn the features.

Texts are now organized by student learning outcomes and numbered objectives and as always, there are two instructional projects per chapter
Students learn important concepts at the teachable moment, with explanatory text woven right into the steps of the project
NEW! Each Project Opening Page clearly outlines Project Activities (what the student will do in this project), Project Files (what starting files are needed, and what their file(s) will be saved as), and Project Results (what their finished project will look like)

Designed for ease of use for students: Based on both professor and student feedback, this text has been designed to provide clear student comprehension.

Clear Instruction: The steps of each project are written following Microsoft®Procedural Syntax, directing students first on where to go, then what to do when performing tasks
Clean Design: The pages of the GO! textbook are clean and uncluttered, with lots of screenshots for visual learners
Sequential Pagination: Pages in the GO! textbooks are numbered sequentially, like every other textbook the student is using, instead of using letters or abbreviations
NEW! Objectives now include page references indicating where each objective is covered
Another Way: This boxed feature provides students with alternative methods of completing tasks. NEW! These boxes are presented in the margin instead of right in line with the steps of the project to avoid confusion
Steps are color-coded by project and are provided to guide the students throughout
End-of-Project Icon provides students with a clearly identifiable end point for each project, useful in self-paced or online environments
Student Videos and Podcasts offer students multimedia tools to help them learn the material covered in the chapter

Designed for ease of implementation for instructors: The GO! series’ one of a kind instructional system provides you with everything you need to prepare for class, teach the material, and assess your students.

Student Videos accompany each A and B project to provide students with a multimedia version of the chapter

Assess

Assignment Tags are scoring checklist for each assignment, including the GO! Think (formerly Problem-Solving) projects.
Point-Counted Production Tests (PCPT’s) — A cumulative exam for each project, chapter, and application that is easy to score using the provided checklist with suggested points for each task.
Solution Files are available in the application and in PDF format
Annotated Solution Files are designed to help instructors very quickly and easily grade assignments
Test Bank — This test-generating program allows instructors to add, edit, or delete questions from the test bank; analyze test results; and organize a database of exams and student results.
