Estimated Completion Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes (1 meeting) Objectives:

1. To understand the Microsoft Excel Window elements. 2. To be able to activate and select the cells, cell ranges, columns and rows. 3. To protect a workbook from viewing and editing. 4. To clear and modify cell elements. 5. To format workbooks. 6. To create a formula using functions, operators, values and cell references. 7. To create and embed charts to worksheet. 8. To understand the Microsoft Excel Window elements. 9. To be able to activate and select the cells, cell ranges, columns and rows. 10. To protect a workbook from viewing and editing. 11. To clear and modify cell elements. 12. To format workbooks. 13. To create a formula using functions, operators, values and cell references. 14. To create and embed charts to worksheet.
Discussions: Data on a Spreadsheet are presented in a tabular form and this could not be easy to understand in an instance. Comments can be used to eliminate this problem. Comments are additional features for documentation such as giving hint about the content of the cells or row and column description. Data on a Spreadsheet are subject to dynamic value, meaning frequent changing of value, and so the Formula previously entered is affected. To avoid that scenario absolute referencing and naming cells can be

implemented. Absolute referencing works such that using the same cell all the time (static cell address). Naming cell changes the identity of the cell into meaningful one instead of A1 and the rest.

Problem: On this activity, you will be creating a simple grading sheet that would be able to compute automatically for the final grade of a student based on his raw score. Get 15 students as sample. Provide their scores for activities that you will be creating for the LECTURE, LABORATORY and EXAM components. Student score must not be greater than the highest possible score. Provide restrictions on this using DATA VALIDATION. Compute for their PRELIM, MIDTERM and FINALS grades given the following formula:

PERCENTAGE = (student total score/class standing total score) * 100 SCORE for PRELIM and RAW SCORE for MIDTERM and FINALS = (CS % * .33) + (Lab % * .33) + (Exam % * .34) SCORE for MIDTERM = (Prelim score * .50) + (Midterm Raw Score*.50) SCORE for FINALS = (Prelim score * .25) + (Midterm Score*.25) + (Finals Raw Score *.50)
PRELIM/MIDTERM/FINALS GRADE

= (SCORE/2) + 50

** If grade is greater than or equal to 75: grade must be highlighted in green, else red. (Do this for prelim, midterm, and finals) NOTE: Add another column. Column name: REMARKS use the data below for your remarks. If grade is 95 99: EXCELLENT 90 94: VERY SATISFACTORY 85 80 75 74 89: SATISFACTORY 85: GOOD -79: FAIR CS 1 Fundamentals of Computer Software and Application and below: POOR
