For this purpose, the concepts are presented disregarding, as far as possible, how they are implemented by specific applications and examples of use are used in different applications to allow comparison and facilitate abstraction. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Applications of spreadsheet with reference to economic and financial problems. Writing texts with editing software. Presentations with dedicated software AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The main objective of the course is to provide students with the knowledge and professional skills related to the use of IT tools for economic, business, financial and quantitative applications. PREREQUISITES Familiarity with computer use coud help, but it is not required. TEACHING METHODS The course will be delivered using online lessons and online exercises, self-assessment quizzes to help students focus the study. Those material and activities will be available at any time from the beginning of the semester and the students will be able to participate at any time. Moreover, there will be synchronous labs, in which the teacher will interact with the students to facilitate the overcoming of the main practical difficulties in applying independently of the techniques learned. The course will be held remotely through the Teams (code c1oyrk4) and Aulaweb (https://2020.aulaweb.unige.it/course/view.php?id=3801) platforms. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course is divided into four macro-topics: a first part with general content, a second dedicated to word processing systems, a third dedicated to spreadsheets, and a fourth dedicated to presentation programs. Each macro argument is in turn subdivided into arguments. General part: applications and operating system, differences and interactions Word processing: types of applications for word processing, basic concepts of word processing, character formatting and paragraphs; Tabs and alignment; lists and numbered lists; Formatting documents, margins, headers, and footers; tables; styles; templates; Inserting special content: images, figures, symbols and formulas Spreadsheets: Introduction to Spreadsheets; Inserting and formatting values (numbers, currencies, percentages, and dates); Operations and functions on values, relative and absolute references in Microsoft Excel and their use in formulas; Association of names to values or ranges; Automatic generation, import and export of data; Generation and manipulation of graphics; Sorting, focusing and filters. Pivot Presentation programs: presentation principles and techiniques; introduction to presentation programs; presentation structure; slide structure; animations RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY No textbook is required: the needed material will be freely available online.

The questions concern the basic concepts and, to a greater extent, the use of applications. To be able to answer, it is essential to have acquired a reasonable practical mastery of the same. ASSESSMENT METHODS The test questions are of two different types: • generic, or related to available functionalities and good practices of use of the applications • operational, or that require the use of applications during the examination to create or modify documents and thus be able to answer specific questions on the final status of the document The answers to the generic questions require less time and aim at verifying that the student has acquired sufficient knowledge of computer tools. Those for operational questions need more time, because they must carry out exercises to find the answers, and are intended to ascertain that the candidate knows how to use the applications in practice and did not limit their preparation to studying functionalities at a general level.
