Excel Evaluation

I learned a lot during the Excel portion of this course. I initially thought that I knew quite a bit about the program, but soon found that I was far from correct. I learned the most about formatting. I had no idea that you could make an excel sheet look so pretty! I used to copy the Excel graphs and paste them into a word document, but now I don't have to. Excel has all the tools I need. Conditional formatting and the IF function were probably the most interesting to me. I had no idea that such functions existed. I think that the most useful part of this section was learning how to create a running balance and grade sheet. I have already made a grade sheet for my other classes. I found it very useful that Excel provides you with templates... and even better you can create your own. I did previously know how to calculate many of the functions we reviewed (with exception to the IF and CHOOSE), and the graphs we made. Even though I knew this, I still feel that it is essential to the course. I had learned many of these functions in my science classes, as I am a senior. Many freshman have not had this exposure to Excel. Overall this was a very positive experience and I learned many new things.
