activity. Post your answers as directed in the assignment instruction. I strongly suggest that you save
your Excel work in a cloud account, USB drive, or hard drive so that you have a copy of all work
completed and can work from any location. If for some reason there is technical difficulty when you

General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own
solutions to the assigned projects, assignments, and tasks. In other words, students may not "work
