| After you have collected your data for Project#1 and/or
Project#2 for Vogeler's Geography 111, Human Geography, you will need
to make tables in a spreadsheet program, such as Excel,
to calculate values (totals and percentages), create attractive looking
tables, make optional
(but highly desired) bar graphs, paste them
into Word, etc. You will also need to know how to use a word processing program, such
as Word, to insert Excel tables, format
text, insert a "Landscape" map in "Portrait" text, page
breaks, etc. If
you don't know how to do any or all of these procedures, go to PALS --
Personalized Assistance for Learning Success. The
lab assistants know about these projects and are ready to help you.
You can find
their hours on the web. They are
located in the Old Library, Room 1102 -- on the way to the New
Library. Learning computer skills while actually doing a project is the best way of learning. All these skills can be applied in other courses and, hopefully, in your careers. Because this assistance is provided, I will assume that you have learned the above mentioned skills when I grade both projects. |
