Student Sound Bites6Love the online book, it really helped me because I ended up losing my book. I also loved the practice quizzes and essaysthey really helped meIt gives you other ways to explain the information than my instructor..uses creative ideas to show the material such as diagrams, and its easy to use.Gave me a different way to study the chapter, plus it gave me immediate feedback and I didnt have to wait on my teacher to grade it over the weekend. I like how you can move at your own pace and redo the tests and quizzes as many times as you want.Easier than using the printed bookFlashcards are awesome! They saved me time from having to write down all the vocabFaculty Perspective of CourseMate

SAM Assessment, Training, ProjectsSAM 2010 Assessment, Training and live in-the-application Projects captures the key features of the actual Office 2010 software, allowing students to work in high-fidelity, multi-pathway simulation exercises for a real-world experience.

SAM 2010 includes realistic and explorable exam and training simulations of Office 2010 applications and Windows 7 with direct correlation to the skills covered on a chapter-by-chapter basis in your Course Technology textbooks.
