Special Instructions
CIS 100

 

Note initially the requirements of the Class Standard for printing worksheets/formula sheets: Go to Page Setup either from the Page Layout Tab or from Print Preview. There you will find a dialog box with four tabs: Page, Margins, Header/Footer, and Sheet.

 

On the Page Tab make two selections: Landscape Orientation and Fit to 1 page(s) wide by 1 page(s) tall.

 

On the Margins Tab make these two selections: Center on page Vertically and Horizontally.

 

On the Header/Footer Tab select Custom Header. [Note: The worksheet will never contain a footer; if there is already a footer on the worksheet, remove it. ]The Header will be comprised of your name (left section of Header), the File Name of the workbook (center section of Header), and the Date the workbook is printed (right section of Header). Use the appropriate buttons on the Header/Footer Toolbar for the File Name and Date.

 

When printing a formula sheet (the formula version of a worksheet which can be revealed in a number of ways – see Page EX 44), make two selections on the Sheet Tab to print the Gridlines and the Row and Column Headings. This (Gridlines and Row/Column Headings) applies only to a formula sheet.

 

All charts will be placed on separate Chart Sheets and will not be embedded on the worksheet. The tab name of the Chart Sheet will correspond to the type of chart contained thereon, for example Line Chart or Column Chart. All Chart Sheets will contain the Standard Header (Name, File Name, Date).

 

Please note well that these requirements supersede, override, take the place of – however one may wish to express it – any contrary instructions in the text, with the one exception noted, infra. If in doubt, check the Class Standard handout attached to these Special Instructions. Each (and every) assigned worksheet, formula sheet and chart will be printed and included under the Excel Tab of your CIS 100 Portfolio. The number of pages your Portfolio will ultimately contain is 55. As a general rule each Excel workbook will contain three pages – the Documentation or Title sheet, the worksheet and the formula version of any worksheet that contains two or more formulas or functions. The number of Excel worksheets is 55 rather than 30 because four of the workbooks contain multiple worksheets and charts. If you are in doubt about the completeness of your Excel Portfolio be sure to check with me prior to the turn-in date. These pages must be in the order they appear in these instructions and they must be further arranged thusly: First the Documentation or Title sheet, then the worksheet, then the formula version of the worksheet, followed by any charts (in the order they were prepared) that are a part of a particular assignment. Additionally, add colons after the words “Author,” “Date,” and “Purpose” on any Documentation/Title sheet where needed and use the =Today() function for the date of the Documentation/Title Sheet and format the cell containing the date using Date Category and the Type that will show the date with the month spelled out, followed by the day of the month and a comma, and then the year in four digits. Do not use the Long Date format, even if the text instructs you to do so.

Final Admonition: The Class Standard is required for several reasons. It is a requirement, first, because it is an exercise in personal and academic disclpline, not unlike requirements one finds in the work place. Second, it helps to ensure a fair and equitable assessment of each student’s Excel Portfolio when the Page Setup is uniform for every student. Third, it helps to ensure accurate assessment of all formulas and functions when the Row and Column Headings and the Gridlines are printed. The Class Standard consists of six simple steps and the accurate typing of your own name. On a formula sheet, there are two additional, equally simple steps. Each failure on your part to adhere to these straightforward, really simple steps will result in deductions from your Excel Portfolio grade. There are ten workbooks comprising the Excel Portfolio, all weighted equally at ten points. Six or eight points deducted from each assigned workbook for failure to adhere to this standard will also, unfortunately, result in failure on this portion of the course. Take note and be warned, therefore.
