Assignment #5- Databases: Temperatures
Students use the Temperatures data set in their handouts to create a data set to show Normal Average Daily Temperatures in Eugene. The challenge is for students to figure out their category/column headers on their own, and make a line graph like the example in the handouts. Use the charts options in MS Excel to generate a Line Graph 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).
Eugene’s Normal Daily Temperatures 1961-1990-1#2
The steps for this assignment (the Databases: Temperatures assignment) included figuring out the category/column headers on your own in Google Sheets, making a line graph of this data (like the example in the handout), pasting this line graph onto Google Docs, typing two (two sentenced) paragraphs explaining the data shown, saving that document as a pdf. and putting it onto your ePortfolios. I followed all of the steps correctly yet efficiently. I figured out the category/column headers on my own in Google Sheets, made a line graph of this data (like the example in the handout), pasted this line graph onto Google Docs, typed two (two sentenced) paragraphs explaining the data shown, saved that document as a pdf. and put it onto my ePortfolio. I did an excellent job on this assignment and understood the process. I enjoyed it greatly and would love to do it again.
