CS102, Fall 2000, Day 1

• Syllabus
• Sign in!  Fill out questionnaire and return it.
• Homework to box, beginning of class.  Extra handouts under box.
• Files for workbook/HW:  in Class Materials\CS102, on every machine in 101.
• Copy just the file(s) you need to your disk. (You don't need to make a Student Disk with lots of unneeded files.)
• Please DON'T work in the Class Materials folder.  If you didn't bring a floppy, copy the file to the Student folder on the desktop, work there.  In general, save under a new name (E.g. start with Inwood, save as Inwood 2) so the original unmodified file still exists.T

• Work through tutorial 1, sessions 1&2.
• Assignment 1 due Day 3, Tuesday Oct 24.

• Make your window look like p. 1.7 to start each session.
• Standard toolbar, formatting toolbar, formula bar up top
• Status bar, sheet tabs and sheet tab scroll buttons below.
• Pointer in Excel changes shape depending on the job:  many different options, so pay attention to shape.
• Session 2:  Text, values, formulas, functions.  These are the foundation building blocks.
• Formulas and functions are a lot like algebra, only instead of x and y, we use the cell reference (like C8, A6).
