*Challenge/Strategy/Setup Once the student is familiar with the Running Case scenario for the project, the Challenge explains what they are actually going to do as they work through the tasks, the Strategy summarizes a plan for achieving that goal, and the Setup provides the settings necessary to ensure that the screen the student sees will match what is shown in the book. *Web Tip Each project contains at least three Web Tips that encourage students to explore Web sites that relate to the tasks they are performing in the application, professional organizations that enhance the material, or direct them to topics of interest on their own. Because the Web is constantly changing, some links referenced in Web Tips may become inactive during the course. All links in the Web Tips will be updated through the SELECT Web Site at http://www.prenhall.com/select - Provides students with links to helpful Web sites and tips for locating additional information about specific topics on the World Wide Web. *Check Point Check Points are placed at intervals throughout each project.
- Provides review topics students can use to assess their skills or knowledge about related topics or about tasks previously covered. *Break Point Each project has been designed to take approximately one hour in the lab. Because students learn at different paces or may not have a full hour to complete a project, the Break Point feature appears at about the midpoint in each project and takes the guess work out of having to decide whether or not its appropriate to stop. - Alerts the student of a good stopping point if they need a break but want to continue the project later. *Tips and Troubleshooting Boxes These feature boxes, popular with both instructors and students, appear throughout the text and have been revised and updated. Tips boxes include material that may be useful but that is not required in the step-by-step task instructions. Troubleshooting boxes alert students to problems they may encounter while using the applications and suggest possible causes for the problems along with potential solutions.
