Fun with data

I guess I didn't completely understand the directions for this assignment. From what I was reading, I was under the impression that we did not need to submit the assignment until all the components were complete. The smart thing to do would have been to submit my work as soon as I had finished it early last week, but I've been a little scatter brained since my husband returned from Iraq on Friday. I'm just now starting to get back into real life after being so off for a few days.

This assignment was quite easy once I got a grasp on what was required of me. I love using Excel and enjoy formatting the equations and the document. The formatting assignment was simple; just make the second and third worksheets look like the first worksheet. The manipulating assignment let me have fun with the equations and express what the data really reveals. Finally the narrative puts the data created through the equations into a written statement. Being able to use and manipulate data in Excel can prove to be useful in a wide variety of situations. I personally have used this program for market research, a wedding guest list, homework outlines, and a household budget. By teaching the students this program and the variety of ways it can be used, they will be able to use it in so many different ways in the future.
