Julie,<br> Another possibility would be for them to set up the problems with appropriate formulae in Excel. Anyone doing Business Math is probably going to use Excel anyway, so knowing how to set up the components and calculations would be a plus. The instructor can then review the formulae and results and make suggestions/refinements as needed.<br>
That can be done step by step, by asking them to create a separate formula for each step in whatever process they are being asked to do.<br clear="all">Dr. J. Paul Pennington<br>Dean of Distance Education & Institutional Research<br>
