From the Publisher
MOUS SKILLS: The appearance of the MOUS Skill icon on a Skill page indicates that the Skill contains instruction in at least one of the required MOUS objectives for the relevant exam, thus providing a visual reference to MOUS objectives throughout the text.

· Introductory level books are MOUS certified to core level competency.

· MOUS icons appear in the Brief manuals as well as the Introductory, just as the skills learned in the Intro edition build off of those presented in the Brief edition.

· MOUS objective map in back of each Introductory book lists the MOUS objectives
ENHANCED PEDAGOGICAL ELEMENTS: Many of the retained features from the 2000 Edition have been improved, extending the skills learned on each page.

· Hot Tips Icons introduce helpful hints or trouble-shooting tips.

· Practice boxes direct students to utilize data files where they can practice the skill they are working on. These increase hands-on activity.

· More screen shots demonstrate what the student's screen should look like while following the Do It! Steps.

· Summary tables give a quick overview of the shortcuts, toolbar icons, and options available to complete the skill.
SKILLS BASED APPROACH offers a three level framework for learning throughout the text:

· Level One: Identify the Skill

· Level Two: Describe the Concept and why a skill would be used

· Level Three: Gives numbered directions to show how to "Do It"
