Excel exam - results

The exam results today were a bit of a mixed bag. Some students did really well, with one student earning full credit - kudos. A good handful of people fell into the mid-range and a couple of people had some major issues. Please do not panic about this one exam. I am fully aware of the technical problems and I will take them into consideration during my final grading process.

Update

See note at the end of the post.

Most students were able to successfully upload their term papers to the myItLab. Unfortunately, since I have to read and grade each exam individually by hand, this means that I cannot promise to have all of the term papers graded by next class.

Databases

In order to work successfully with databases, one needs to understand how they are organized. This blog post is designed to provide a working knowledge of database organization and to introduce basic terminology you will need for mastering Access.
