MICROSFT.ACCESS 13,LV.2:BENCHM

I had recently completed a college course in Excel using the Paradigm Benchmark textbook for Excel 2013. I found the textbook easy to understand and I was able to grasp the concepts of Excel quickly without frustration or difficulty, finishing early with an A for the course. So, when I decided it was time to gain some skills in Microsoft Access for future job requirements (this time being self-taught), the first and only textbook that I searched for was the Paradigm Benchmark textbook for Access 2013. Sure enough, just like the Paradigm Excel 2013 textbook, it is a winner! The Access 2013 textbook/course is a thorough tutorial and easy to understand and follow. As a textbook owner/user, I have access to online material from Paradigm, including Student Data Files to accompany the practice and assessment work, online Access tutorials in PowerPoint format both with and without audio, as well as other documents and files to assist me in my learning of Access. I am quite pleased with the Paradigm Benchmark series and with this purchase.

I used the companion book Microsoft Word 2013 to take a college class. That book was so good, that I purchased this book to self-teach myself Access 2013. No, there is no answer key. However, examples of the chapter homework results are provided.I'm 25% of the way through this book (i.e., Level 1, Chapter 5), and so far the book is working great. The course is two levels, each with eight chapters. The CD contains the files you will need.Therefore, grab this book and CD, a memory stick, and your computer and learn Access 2013!

If you really need to learn Access 2013 or 2016 this book will help you, this is the last version where you will be able to work with assessments and projects in one book! Access 2016 is different I've been working with this author since 2013.You can buy the e-book as well.

It didn't come with the CD, and HW comes from those folders. However, it is a good book if you are learning. Explain very well.

Worked for the class I needed it for

I am really happy with the publishing of Nita Rutkosky text books the way each text is explained is so helpful and so much better than any other text book i used.Debroah Mace

Absolutely horrid if you like to read and then follow along on your computer.There are so many typos in this edition that I just want to slam this book down and never pick it up again. Example: Page 188 and 189: after you've downloaded the course files from the Web site, you will see that this book uses the same filename-d files; with differently-configured databases! Guess what this does to your learning ability? I don't want to fight the typos and mis-edits of a book: I simply want to follow along to an intuitive book, which this is NOT. Also, you have to read the last part of a sentence and then read backwards, because they can't offer an intuitive option to breadcrumbs. I've got so many scratchmarks and highlights in this book, that I've frustrated my online teacher because she can't answer my questions. What a flop.

Book was okay, the teacher Sucked!
