Thank you for your attendance. I am looking forward to the next 6 weeks together. I promise to make the class as enjoyable as possible, while teaching you all about Excel! The book ISBN for this class is Benchmark Excel 2013 L1&L2, 9780763853891. The Excel 2013 Level 2 only is 9780763853914. I would suggest looking for a used book at Amazon.com or half.com. It should save you some money.

Welcome to everyone taking my summer Excel Level 1 class. We do still have a few seats left for the Tuesday and Thursday 5:30-9:30 class available if you want to join us. It is a 6 week class and you will need a book. The ISBN numbers for the book are either 9780763843113 or 9780763843144. Amazon had a few used ones at a very low price. I look forward to spending my evenings with you!
