Assignment #2 – Databases: Birthday Table
Students collect 15 names, date of birth, and ages of their classmates. Data is inputted to MS Excel with the formatting shown in the example. Students use the Autofilter feature in Excel to sort their data chronologically from youngest to oldest. They then copy and paste the data table to a 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.
Reflection: First, I made my graph to put data on. I then walked around my classroom collecting the names and birthdays of my classmates. After I got 15 pieces of data (not including myself) I put them on my graph using Excel. Then, I copy and pasted it onto wordpress and wrote my description. I made it into a PDF and put it on my blog!
