Excel WebCT project comments

As I'm grading the Excel WebCT projects, some comments come to mind.

1. I am deducting for format issues - i.e. the intructions call for a total to be in a specific format, but you didn't follow that instruction. Why? Because in real like, formatting matters. The way data is presented really makes a difference on whether it will be readable, understandable, and make an impact.
2. Never Ever manually type in a conclusion - for ex. look at a column and type in that highest number. Have Excel calculate that for you ALWAYS (even if it's easiy to glance at the data) - because you never know when the data will change.
3. Use your common sense - if a result doesn't make sense, then you've probably made an error somewhere. For example, the average of 15, 20,25 35, is probably NOT 1500!
