As part of the course load, the excel assignment was a legacy from an earlier version of the class. It was initially imbedded into canvas and was used to create a guide of what to do in excel and how it works. However as canvas, excel and the student body changed, it was time for the assignment to change as well.  What I did was:

• Create a lesson plan so that during class, the teacher or I can present how Excel works

• Rebuild the assignment in word to create a step by step walkthrough

• Adjust the assignment to better illustrate excel and the tools and functions of it

• Use excel to illustrate massive data reading and graphical methods

The results of this project were that I was able to implement the assignemnt and better teach how to use Excel. Furthermore the lesson plan has been used every semester since its rework, and the related grades for the assignment have increased 15% since the lesson plans creation.

Some skills that I honed were:

• Microsoft suite usage

• How to teach a topic

• Creating walkthroughs and assignments
