Research Review and Summary
To gain an awareness of the types of functional applications and projects that Excel is used for, you will engage in a review of research.
This activity has two parts: the Review and the Summary Paper.
The Research Review
Similar to a literature review, the objective is to examine materials you discover during research – articles (i.e., scholarly and otherwise), videos, websites, blogs, etc. – and use the provided workbook to aid in reviewing them.
Note – you are not expected to provide an overly extensive assessment of each item you find, but you will need to provide enough effort to gain insights. As such, you will be expected to document the following:
Creation/Update date of items being reviewed;
Source URL for reviewed item;
Name of project or application discussed;
Excel features and/or functions reported used;
Stated purpose or intended use; and
A brief summarization of the item reviewed.
You will need to identify 10 items to review and document.
The Summary Paper
You will leverage your research review to write a 350 word summary of your findings in APA format. This should provide highlights of your review and your conclusions on Excel projects and applications, as well as your thoughts on the potential opportunities that might exist for using Excel in unique ways.
