Request for Excel Bootcamp, fall '24

Request for Excel Bootcamp, fall '24

The Learning Center Wednesday May 1, 2024

Do your students struggle with assignments or tasks requiring the use of Excel? If so, The Learning Center is ready to help your students learn the basics of Excel by offering Excel Bootcamps for our fifth consecutive semester. If you are not aware of this newer service, our Faculty Advisory Council discovered a significant gap of students' knowledge of basic Excel functions and use-across disciplines-and our faculty were taking much needed time away from lab/lecture just to cover the basics of Excel. Please see the pdf 'Short History' in the link below.

Very briefly, if you have an assignment that requires a bit of savvy with Excel, let us help you by covering the basics. (Please see Bootcamp Agenda and Excel Bootcamp pdfs attached.) If you don't have an assignment requiring Excel but some or most of your students NEED it for research or building graphs or a regression line, this may be of help to you as well. Our goal and motivation is to help you by covering the basics and giving students some practice inside of a workbook. All you have to do is fill out the Request Form below and identify the best time for your students to have completed the Bootcamp in an assignment in D2L.

Excel Bootcamp Request form: Excel Bootcamp Request F24

Please complete the request form by Friday, May 10. Our goal is to begin communicating with our earliest users the very first week of school (for those of you requesting the first Bootcamps).

Students with instructors making this mandatory will have priority sign ups; it is totally up to the individual instructor to adjust or amend deadlines for students who miss your deadlines.

We are looking forward to another semester of a beautiful partnership.
