This lab manual offers brief, hands-on introductory coverage of the Lotus Approach for Windows database software. The objectives listed at the beginning of each lab module explain the concepts, commands and competancies to be gained in each software application program. The Sports Club case study, used throughout all of the lab modules in the microcomputing annual edition system, places real-world business problems within the context of a health club business environment. Students solve the business problems by using application software (that is, word processing, spreadsheet and database software). Lab activities consist of detailed, step-by-step instructions and screen displays to aid students in solving the case study problems. Each lab lesson builds on the previous lesson, while the number of screen displays decrease and the instructions become less specific so students think about what they have learned, avoid rote learning and become proficient in the concepts and commands presented. This tutorial is part of the Custom Version program. It can be spiral bound with other custom version O'Leary lab modules and/or computing essentials to meet an instructor's specific needs.
It can also be shrinkwrapped with any O'Leary lab module or any tutorial in the "First Look" and/or "Introducing" series to meet an instructor's specific course needs.
