Activity 3: Excel
Excel is always a topic I would love to know all about it. Spreadsheet usually gives me problems
as I don’t know how to formulate the spreadsheet and put in many functions. This was an area I
had to use frequent as a form teacher and most time I asked someone to do them for me. I would
love to do that myself. Spreadsheet makes work easier. I can use it as a register, mark book, SBA
sheets and positioning calculator. I having the knowledge to do all the things will make my work
easier and also finish my task as a form teacher faster.
In this topic we were taught how to set functions, which I now can use and anxious to use when I
go back out as a teacher. I will use it as my mark sheet and class register. I also learned how to
position the class according to grades, from first to last position. Something I had no clue of
doing. I really appreciate this topic and looking forward to execute it in my daily activities such
as budgeting and also when I go back into the teaching field.
In our activity we were asked to make a spreadsheet of our subject area class and list at least ten
names and put in their grades for our subject and different subjects, and then we were to
calculate the average score and place them in position from first to last position. The task had
seemed difficult but following the instructions given by the Lecturer I was able to complete the
task. It was a great challenge but completing it was also a great reward. That knowledge I know
will always be in me as my intention is to continue practice and also research how to do more
functions in excel and my greatest source to do such task is youtube.com.
