8 Overview Week 4
Week 4 introduces Charts and the IF AND functions. There are three assignments and three reading assignments.
Starting with Charts, you will be introduced to all the different possible charts and elements of these charts. Charts are very useful to express important aspects of a table. After you understand the purposes of charts there will be two assignments that apply the techniques of developing charts.
The second part of this week’s work is to understand two new functions. One is called the IF function (If one of two statements is correct, a positive response will be given.). The other is called AND function (given two logical questions, both must be true to return a positive response.) The assignment applies both functions in the same problem.
Learning Outcomes: The student will:
- Understand what data to select when creating a chart.
