Assignment #4- Databases: $1000 Windfall
Students use the $1000 Windfall example in their handout, and create their own data set of Items and Costs – must have between 6 and 8 items. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a 3D PIE chart based on the data in the handout. Students must show data value by using the “labels” option from their “Toolbox”.
They then copy and paste the chart to an MS Word file (shown in the example). They need to use standard reporting page set-up with a header, title and indented paragraphs with 1.5-2 line spacing. They must write an introductory paragraph, show the data table, and write a summary paragraph that extrapolates and describes at least 2 pieces of data shown in the table.
The finished piece is saved as a MS Word .docx file and a .pdf file – the .pdf file is uploaded to their Tech Lit page on their ePortfolio and displayed in the standard format of naming the assignment (title), giving the assignment description (can be copied from above here), showing the assignment (link to the .pdf file with an accurate link name), and a reflection statement (restate the assignment task (WHAT), tell steps taken to complete the assignment (HOW), and what the student thinks of their effort and work quality (SELF-EVALUATION).
The steps for this assignment ($1000 Windfall Database Assignment) includes choosing 6-8 items to spend $1000 on in total, using Google Sheets to write down the costs of each item, creating a pie chart of this data, inserting it into Google Docs, writing two (two-sentenced) paragraphs about the pie chart, and saving it as a pdf. to put onto your ePortfolios. I followed all of the steps throughly, efficiently, and correctly. I chose 6-8 items to spend $1000 on in total, used Google Sheets to write down the costs of each of my items, created a pie chart of this data, inserted it into Google Docs, wrote two (two-sentenced) paragraphs about the pie chart, and saved it as a pdf. to put on my ePortfolio. I believe I did an excellent job on this assignment. I enjoyed it and hope to do it again.
