RESEARCH & EXPLORATION
Research
For K201 lab, the only required book is this K201 e-book. However, you will at times find it necessary and extremely beneficial to use additional online resources such as the IU Knowledge Base, Microsoft Office Support, and video tutorials on YouTube, among others.
Each chapter in this e-book comprises three distinct sections:
Research & Exploration
This section contains information on various concepts and methods as well as hands-on exercises that will help you prepare for each class. Students who do not prepare for each class will have extreme difficulty keeping up during class.
In-Depth Case Application
This section builds on the concepts and methods covered in the Research & Exploration section. It consists of hands-on exercises led by the instructor and is centered on Premiere Foods, a locally sourced and organic grocery store.
Students who miss class must work through this section before returning to class. However, because instructors provide explanations, concepts, methods, and other important discussions in class, simply working through this text is not intended to be a substitute for regularly attending class.
Review Problems
This section provides you with hands-on exercises to complete on your own so that you can practice the concepts and methods covered in the two sections preceding it. Completing the review problems after each class is essential to mastering the materials and doing well in the course.
Exploration
Course Resources and Syllabus
K201 is a challenging course for many. The first step to doing well is to become familiar with the course structure and policies by reading the syllabus. You will also want to familiarize yourself with all of the resources available, such as where to find important announcements, get free K201 help, earn extra credit, locate graded assignments files, and more.
- 1. Log into Canvas, then locate your K201 Lab section.
- 2. Explore the Canvas site until you find the link to the course syllabus.
- 3. Read the syllabus, then further explore the site.

IN-DEPTH CASE APPLICATION
Who Is In Your Lab Classroom?
Instructor
Responsible for the class, office hours, and grades.
Teaching Assistant (TA)
Typically runs the computer, answers questions, and manages the peer tutors. TAs are paid undergraduate students who have served as a peer tutor in the past.
Peer Tutors
Students who did exceptionally well in K201 and are invited to come back as volunteers in the classroom. Peer tutors help answer student questions and also help students who fall behind during class. Some sections have as many as six peer tutors. Peer tutors begin offering tutoring during week 2.
Software Requirements
The lab component of K201 teaches Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel. Microsoft Office 2016 for Windows is required and is the only acceptable software for this course. This software is installed on all PCs in (Student Technology Center (STC) computer labs and can also be downloaded to a personal PC from IUware using the Office 365 link.
If you are going to use your personal computer, it is your responsibility to make sure you have the necessary software installed. Check the K201 syllabus for more detailed information.
What About Using a Mac?
None of the Macintosh operating systems or Microsoft Office versions for Mac is acceptable. You may install Windows on a Macintosh either as the only operating system or as a dual-boot option. Using Boot Camp Assistant, you can partition your hard drive and install Windows and MS Office on your Macintosh computer so that you can complete K201 assignments.
If you wish to use your Mac for K201 but do not want to partition the hard drive, you can use IUanyWare. IUanyWare is a client virtualization service available to IU students, faculty, and staff. With IUanyWare, you can use a web browser or mobile app to run certain IU-licensed software applications without having to install them on your computer or mobile device. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection.
