Overview

Every worker must do some basic analysis, make presentations, and submit reports.Many organizations do not have the “fancy” software packages to create documents that instructional designers may have.However, most organizations have the Microsoft Office Suite.

In the past 10-15 years, Microsoft have updated the capabilities in their Office Suite, especially in Excel. This course is designed to present the basic capabilities to prepare and brief presentations and reports that their managers will understand and be able to take appropriate actions.

The student will need to bring laptops with the Microsoft Office Suite.During class, the instructor will present an overview of a topic, let the students work on their own to practice the topic, and then go over their results as a class.Then at the end of the course, students will be given a project with a dataset.They will have to do some basic analysis, create a brief, and present the brief to the class.
