Computer lab

Section will be in 1131 Meyer today. I want to prepare you for the class project so here’s the agenda:

• Data sources (where to get data?)
• Getting data into Excel (file formats, etc)
• Creating charts/graphs/pivot tables (PTs are cool)
• Discuss the format of the paper
• Project groups and topics

Also, I want to hand back and review the mid-term exam. I don’t think I’ll be done with grading…
