Study Tips

Preknowledge

Examples include:

  • We recommend you study Modules 1, 2 and 3 before this one, because they provide the essential knowledge for you to work with the spreadsheet functions, including saving files, formatting text and retrieving information from other files


  • We recommend that you spend X amount of time on each chapter
  • It would help you if you have access to some local business data or information you wish to analyse and calculate when attempting the activities in this module.
  • You may find it useful to skim through an entire chapter (or portion of a chapter) first, paying special attention to the headings and introductions then go through a second time for more indepth study and practice
  • We recommend that you do the activities as they appear rather than all at the end. They are essential study materials, so please attempt them.
  • If you have difficulty understanding a section of a chapter, try working at it slowly. If you still do not understand, seek help.
