Excel Application
Excel was one of the applications that I never had experience working with before. So learning how to use this was extremely beneficial not only now, but will also be in my future. I have always heard of this application but never had to the time to look up videos or tutorials on how to properly use it, so having a section of the class devoted to learning it was extremely helpful for me.
At first Excel was hard for me to get a hang to, considering all of the codes. Occasionally I would get the numbers and letters confused, but once I understood how to use the shortcuts and formulas, it became much easier. Also, the ability to be able to drag the row or column and have it automatically add up was my favorite thing about the whole program. The wide variety of graphs and the ability to color-code everything was also extremely helpful when creating my charts on my monthly budget and the example of the girl scout cookie sales.

Our results showed many facts to help us analyze our data. For example, the most amount of sleep that students were getting was in the range of 6-7 hours a night. The amount of sleep the average person is suppose to get a night is at least 8. This shows that these students are not getting the correct amount of sleep. This lack of sleep affects their performance in school and can cause them to lose their focus and not put in their full effort. In addition, the results from the variety of colleges gave us essential information. These results showed that 40 percent of the data we received was from Art and Science majors and 30 percent was from Education majors.
After tracking our results, the majority of the students that took the survey were all full time students. This corresponds to our results above because it could be the reason why these Education, Arts, and Science students are only getting an average of 6-7 hours of sleep. This representation of our data in the excel document took a very long time to think about how we were going to organize the data. Then once we decided to add up all of the totals and compare it by that, it was extremely tedious due to the large amount of different majors and questions we asked. Although, the actual application made it extremely easy to do fulfill these tasks thanks to all of the formulas and charts. |
