following guide may also be useful for students who need to locate statistics
for projects. Statistics
We would also like to add links for online tutorials to cover items assumed to be already learned, and to help students who missed learning these concepts because of illness, etc. Microsoft has a number of tutorials. As we locate this information, we will place it as links in the file, Using Computers for Assignments. Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcomed. |
