Welcome toMicrosoft Excel!

Welcome to Excel. This course will start by providing you with an introduction to the principles and workings of the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel. As we finish the course, you will have had the opportunity to turn your beginning knowledge into advanced spreadsheet skills.

Articulation – College credit for this class

This class may be articulated to GRCC, Baker, Davenport, or MCC for college credit. This means that by completing this class you would be granted credit for it at one of the previously mentioned schools and not have to take it in college (saving you time and tuition!). You must achieve a B or better grade to receive articulated credit. Upon completion of this course see me for an articulation application form.

SyllabusDaily Procedure: Our class will make use on an on-line class management

system called Moodle. Instructions, notes, activities, assignments, and tests will be completed using this software. Each day you should plan to start the hour by logging into Moodle.

We will spend time in whole class teaching and learning that will then be followed up by independent practice time to be spent working on daily assignments. You are expected to record notes in class. A 3 minute warning will be given to remind us to save our work before the end of class.

Textbooks are to remain in the classroom, but may be checked out for overnight use. All books must be returned the next class day. You are expected to bring your own pens/pencils to class every day.

Syllabus Grading

Quality work is key in this class and in the business world. Make sure you take the time to be precise. You will find that one little mistake can cause a lot of wasted time. Your final trimester grade will be determined on an 80 – 20 basis; 80% from your work in class and 20% from a final exam. All of your work in class will be graded using a point value system.

S PointsIn life outside of school good performance and promptness often results

in promotions, pay increases, and improved personal standing in the view of others. This course would like to simulate the real world as much as possible, therefore, if you have no absences, no tardies, and all work is turned in quality and on time you will receive a 1 grade bump on your trimester grade. (i.e. B to a B+) School-related absences are not counted as absent.

Syllabus Attendance

Missing class will result in lost learning and incomplete class work. It is YOUR responsibility to inquire about and complete missed class work. You can speak with a classmate to inquire about what was missed but your safest bet is to ask me.

Per school rules you will have 2 days to make up any missed work. Day 1 of these 2 days is your first day back in class.

Classroom Rules1. Be in your seat and ready to begin work

when the clock clicks.Class starts when the clock clicks – meaning you have until the end of 1:30 to be here. At 1:31 you will be marked tardy / absent. You get two (2) free tardies for the trimester - each tardy after that is a detention. (7:25 a.m. with me). First hour begins at 7:50.After your sixth (6) tardy in a semester, a meeting will be set up with your parents to develop a plan to assure your timely arrival to class.

2. Come to class prepared to work daily. Bring all materials needed (Textbook if checked out,

Pen/Pencil)
