Excel Assignment 2
Assignment Due Midnight Dec 5
 

We're going deeper into Excel.  I hope you are enjoying the journey.  New topics include formulas, smart tags, and formatting,  We're a visual society.  How your documents look plays a role in how the information is received.  Pages of numbers often run together and the information is not absorbed corrected unless you put some thought into how it is placed on the page.  Good luck!

For full credit, this program is due midnight, December 5, according to the PJC time stamp on emails.  Computer ISPs vary so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to turn it in.  You can turn in the assignment up through December 12, but it will have a 10% penalty.  No homework will be accepted after Dec 12.

Note: I'm changing the method of turning in your assignments to reduce some of the confusion.  You will see on your WebCT homepage a new icon entitled "Assignments."  Click on this.  You'll see the second Excel Assignment which is a duplicate of this page.  Once you have completed your assignment, go to your WebCT homepage.  Click on Assignments.  You'll see the Excel Assignment 2.  Follow the instructions to upload your files.  If you enter an email address, it will confirm you have submitted your assignment (strongly recommended).  One drawback.  You can only submit the assignment once.  Make sure you have everything ready before sending to me.
