An Integrated Case Study with Microsoft® Office

© Robert Grauer and Maryann Barber

The University Housing case study is written from the viewpoint of the Housing Director on a college campus. He or she reports directly to the provost on the revenue generated through meal plans and dormitory rentals. The director also interacts directly with students who live in the various dorms on campus.

This document provides a series of exercises in Microsoft Office that relate to the university housing case study. Each exercise describes a specific task the director has to accomplish and typically requires the use of multiple applications within Microsoft Office for solution. Many of the exercises are cumulative in nature. For example, the student is asked to create an Excel chart in one exercise, and then incorporate that chart into a Word memo and a PowerPoint presentation in subsequent exercises. A summary of the exercises is shown below:

 

1. University Housing Workbook and Chart (Excel)

2. Report to the Provost: (Word and Excel)

3. Presentation to the Provost (PowerPoint and Excel)

4. Last Minute Change (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)

5. Importing Data (Access and Excel)

6. A Relational Database (Access)

7. Access Objects: Forms, Queries, and Reports (Access)

8. An Access Switchboard (Access)

9. Mail Merge (Word and Access)

10. Submission

 

All exercises are based on material from Exploring Office by Robert Grauer and Maryann Barber. The exercises also utilize a series of practice files that are strored under this case study exercise in Canvas.
