This class is recommended for new Excel users, and for current users who have had their Excel spreadsheets set up for them. Participants receive a copy of the course notes. The course begins by using the creation of a course gradebook as a means of looking at some of the intermediate statistical and graphing functions in Excel. An understanding of basic statistical analysis would also be useful but is not required. Some of the topics to be covered include creating a new presentation, entering information, changing the background, adding graphics, inserting tables and charts from Word or Excel, and printing or displaying a presentation.
