Grading
The IFS 104 project is:
- Due: Thursday June 1
- Worth: 10 points, or 10% of your
final grade
Description
Your project assignment is to create a cool
"uber" homework assignment for my next class:
- The focus of the homework you are
designing must include a worksheet list, ala Chapter 5.
- It should be a word problem similar to
the Cases & Places problems in our text.
- The numbers in the database must come
from a "real" source: web site, almanac, encyclopedia,
your job or life or whatever. The
database must include at least 25 records.
- Your homework must include:
- Plenty of database filtering,
functions, and other shenanigans
- One or more charts
- Demonstration of at least one
"advanced" concept like: goal seeking, the if() function,
financial functions, etc.
Deliverables
Please complete these three steps:
- Write a short (one page-ish)
description of your homework problem. You can use Word or any
other common text format.
- Complete a workbook with the raw
database data and a description of where you got the data
(probably including a web site link). This should be similar to
the files in the "data disk" of the text.
- Complete a workbook with your solution
to the homework assignment... displaying all of your wonderful
new spreadsheet powers, of course.
Put everything in your k: drive folder
"project".
Square pegs
If you have an interest in one particular
area of Excel that we have not covered, then individual projects can
also be tailored. See me and we'll work it out. |
