Assess Skills: 1. Applying proper formatting; 2. Locating and using data from the class Website; 3. Using
Excel for data collection and critical thinking.
In Part 2 – K200 Grade Projection Workbook you will create an Excel workbook that will help you project

 Data should make sense to someone who is looking at it
o Look at your received points so far in your gradebook.
o Add the points you received in the proper cell.
o For all projects not yet graded, give yourself the full credit for the points. Example: For
Major Project #5 – Podcasting, give yourself 150 points.

o Using the current received points total, go to the Syllabus page on the class Website and
then go to the Grading & Grading Scale area of the page.
