The Homerun Incentive- a reflection

I really liked this assignment. It was nice to take a class off from being told how to do things and be given the opportunity to try to figure things out on your own. Not only was this enjoyable, I thought it was a great educational technique that should be used more often in this class and in all classes in all educational institutions.
About the actual assignment... I found it intriguing. While neither method was exceptionally easy to figure out... I much preferred the NestedIF function. I found it easier to use and more logical (despite the insane amount of parentheses needed!).

Case #5- Reflections

I found this case to be a little challenging, but very rewarding. When first encountering the step that asked me to do "multi-level" filtering, I wasn't really sure how to do it. I managed to figure it out by highlighting things and just 'winging it'. While this did get me a perfect score, when I later sat down with the Prof., he showed me that Excel has a built in function that helps you sort things in a "multi-level" type way. I knew there had to be a better way to do it then the way I had used, and was very please to find out my inclination was correct. Once again, Microsoft proved there is always multiple ways to accomplish a task, the key is to find the most efficient way that works for you!

Case #4- Reflections

I just finished case #4 and thought it was really cool. All the different types of charts available on excel is really mind boggeling. While i felt that not all of them were super useful in being accurate in their visual representation of the data (especially the pie chart), in general the charts and graphs helped make lots of data more easily accessible to the the average user. A great way to get an superficial understanding of lots of data at once!
