Excel/Access 2019 HELP - Videos for Class Examples AND SAM Projects Homework Tips

Videos Available for Excel and Access Modules covered in Class
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDCvJ4rWrUEzgPQgAc-GevQ

This link will take you to a site that has videos for all of the Excel and Access Modules that we will cover in class.

To start - Select "Playlist". These playlists group the videos by the Module they cover and the screen
resolution that they are best formatted for.
There are videos formatted to work with various screen resolutions.
1080p format is designed to work with a screen resolution of 1920x1080.
720p format is designed to work with a screen resolution of 1280x720.
480p format is designed to work with a screen resolution of 640x480.

Each module is divided into multiple segments (see ExcelVideoListDetails.pdf ) This will allow you to pick the specific portions of the modules that you would like to review. You will not have to watch the entire module, if it is not needed.

There are also additional videos for items that do not have specific examples covered in the text, but
that you will need to know for either homework or exams.

These videos can be used to help you if you missed class or just need to review a topic that was covered.

You may want to try to play the video on your smartphone or a tablet (some device other than the
laptop you are using for Excel or Access) or a second monitor if you have that option. That will allow you to watch the video and practice the tasks in Excel or Access on your laptop at the same time. The files that are being used in the videos were all downloaded from the Q drive at the beginning of the
semester.

There are also a Video List documents (one for Excel and one for Access) that lists all of the videos and references the pages in the text that are being covered in that video.

FM Pages (Managing Your Files) - New location

Please read the FM pages (Managing Your Files) listed on the daily schedule BEFORE we start learning Excel.  The Managing Your Files.pdf  is available from Canvas, Files or the attachment to this announcement.

Reading the FM pages will be especially helpful BEFORE we start Excel.  There is NOT a pre-requisite for K201, so this is our attempt to get everyone in the same place so the class can move forward as a group.  If you are unfamiliar with the material covered, you may benefit from sitting down at a Windows computer and completing the steps with the tan background. The files you need for hands on practice are in the FM folder (Lab drive available in the classroom  Q:\K201SemesterYrStudentFiles\FM or in the Canvas, Files, K201SemesterYrStudentFiles.zip file) and are referenced in the pdf text.
