Course Objectives

This web site supports CS1100 (Computer Science and its Applications) at Northeastern University, an introductory course in concepts in computer science and their applications using Microsoft Excel and Access. The course focuses on data: how data may be organized, how useful information may be extracted from data, and how summary information may be calculated. Furthermore, the courses introduces methodical and analytical problem solving techniques including divide-and-conquer and hierarchical decomposition.
You will learn how to do simple but very effective computations using Microsoft Excel and Access. While a single course cannot cover all aspects of these software tools, you will nevertheless learn important highlights.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students will know how to:
  • conceptualize and solve problems involving the analysis of data
  • design relational databases and formulate queries in Access
  • calculate elementary statistics and present data analyses in Excel
  • build charts and graphs in Excel
  • construct reports in Access
