In addition to the hands-on practice imbedded within the IDEA Tutorial, the Messier/Glover/Prawitt author team has created IDEA problems for each chapter. The problems associated with Chapters 1-5 relate to the IDEA tutorial data files. A new data set entitled Roger Company, created for Messier/Glover/Prawitt, is introduced in Chapter 5. The Roger Company data set is used to solve the IDEA end-of-chapter problems for Chapters 5-21 in the textbook. The IDEA Tutorial is matched with the Messier/Glover/Prawitt textbook Chapters 1-5. However, with a good understanding of the IDEA Tutorial, the PDF tutorial bundled with the software, students can successfully complete the IDEA end-of-Chapter problems for Chapters 1–10 of the Messier/Glover/Prawitt textbook. The IDEA Tutorial Chapters 1-4 can be assigned independent of Messier/Glover/Prawitt textbook Chapters 1-5 problems below. For example, if an instructor would like to assign IDEA end-of-Chapter problems for Chapter 6 of the Messier/Glover/Prawitt textbook, he or she would need to assign the IDEA Tutorial any time prior to assigning the IDEA end-of-Chapter problems associated with Chapter 6 of the textbook. Students generally require between 1½ to 2 hours to complete Chapters 1-4 of the IDEA Tutorial. Certain IDEA problems at the end of Chapters 11-21 require an understanding of the concepts taught in the textbook chapters.
