iCochise

Welcome!

I am an instructor at Cochise Community College and the University of Arizona College of Applied Science and Technology (CAST) in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Over the years, I have taught a variety of online and face-to-face programs for both institutions. I have created important content, including full books, specifically for those classes. I developed this website to store all those things and make them easily accessible to my pupils. The materials have been distributed under a Creative Commons-By license, meaning teachers are free to modify them for use in schools. I also recently began exploring artificial intelligence and have developed a list of links to websites I find helpful in writing my blog and Facebook posts. I hope that you will find these resources helpful and that you will enjoy going through them.

Excel

I teach an Excel class for the Cochise College Center for Lifelong Learning and all of the materials I use for that class are available here. These are all published under a Creative Commons license and are freely available for students to use or instructors to adapt for their own classes. Included in this section are the book I wrote in both PDF and web-based versions, the student files required for the exercises in the book, the source code for the book, a link to the video help files, and a link to the Moodle site where students can submit activities to earn credentials. It is my hope that visitors will find this material useful.
Excel Book (PDF) The book has about 550 pages and includes dozens of projects and hundreds of images to help students learn Excel. This is the PDF version that can be downloaded and saved for future use.
Excel Book (Web) This is a web-based version of the Excel book.
Excel Book (Printed) Some students prefer a printed version of the book instead of a computer-based version, so a printed version is available at this link for $39.95 (plus tax and shipping).
Student Files This links to a ZIP folder that contains all student files needed for the exercises in the book.
Videos I posted a series of 54 videos (nearly 7 hours worth) at ScreenCast.com that demonstrate how to complete all of the activities in the book.

Research Methods

I have taught a research methods class for the University of Arizona College for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) for many years. The links below are for the text I wrote along with the lab manual. My students can download this book to use in class for free, but it is published under a Creative Commons license so instructors can modify the work as needed for their own classes. Included in this section are the book I wrote in both PDF and web-based versions, the source document for the book, and a link to an online lab manual where students can learn about R, a statistics program used in the class. It is my hope that visitors will find this material useful.
Research Methods Book (PDF) The book has more than 325 pages and includes an extensive bibliography and glossary. This is the PDF version that can be downloaded and saved for future use.
Research Methods Book (Web) This is a web-based version of the Research Methods book.
Lab Manual I teach R as part of my Research Methods course and this is a link to the R lab manual I developed. It is intended to be used online so students do not need to download and install any software for the class.

Digital Logic

I taught digital logic at Cochise College up until 2019. I'm now retired from that position, but have posted the text I wrote along with the lab manual in case someone else wants to use it. This is published under a Creative Commons license so instructors can modify the work as needed for their own classes. Included in this section are the book I wrote in both PDF and web-based versions, the Logisim-Evolution lab manual in both PDF and web-based versions, the source code for the book and lab manual, and a link to video help files for the lab manual. It is my hope that visitors will find this material useful.
Digital Logic Book (PDF) The book has more than 250 pages and includes logic diagrams and scores of images to help students learn digital logic. This is the PDF version that can be downloaded and saved for future use.
Digital Logic Book (Web) This is a web-based version of the Digital Logic book.
Lab Manual (PDF) I used Logisim-Evolution for the labs. This manual is about 100 pages and includes twelve exercises designed to teach the fundamentals of digital logic. This is the PDF version that can be downloaded and saved for future use.
Lab Manual (Web) This is a web-based version of the lab manual.
