Assignment Use UME instructor website to view /access lecture notes; 2) lecture notes assignment due Wed Sept 25 – 1st Graded Assignment. See Rubric for grading criteria..

Review Notes from Previous Lecture and Feedback: STEM – Science Technology Engineering and Math Embedded Objects 1st Graded Assignment is due Wed Sept 25 at beginning of class On Wed you will be assigned a class exercise on the computer (an Excel Project) to work while I go around and ask each student one by one for their notes Students should work on the assigned project or practice exercises during the entire session. Discussed extensions or variations of the If Then Conditional Statements.  Syntax  IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

4 STEM - Friday Topic of the Week  STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering Math. ASSIGNMENT READING :  1 page article (an ad ) in Bloomberg Magazine entitled “STEM Sell”  Posted to my UME website.  Go to the UME website  Path is SITES/Howard Rattliffwww.umeprep.org/HOME/TEACHER  Under Teacher Sites select my name and you’ll see the class postings.  The article is a jpeg file posted under the LN (lecture notes ) postings.  Read and be prepared to discuss in class Monday – Topic of the Day session.  Ideas / Suggestion: Attend STEM Summer sessions at local universities. SMU has a engineering summer program for High School. Texas Wesleyan in Fort Worth has one. These are great resources that encourage student to consider Science Technology Engineering and Math as career. Even if you don’t consider this a career path, technology is so pervasive that this investment helps you use it and understand it.  It is a great competitive edge! It keep all your options open.

5 Class Exercise !! 1.Excel Default settings and Standard Setting for this Class Environment

6 Exercise 1 –  Exercise – Default Setting in Excel

Excel Default Settings (similar settings including Powerpoint and Word)  Viewing Setting and Configuration?  MAIN MENU BAR in Office 2010 EXCEL  FILE/HOME/INSERT/PAGE LAYOUT/FORMULAS/DATA/REVIEW/VIEW  Menubar --- FILE/options/general >>  Applies to particular doc (Excel uses the term “workbook “ but else where in other technology tools, other terms might be used such as (workspace / a project )  Menubar --- FILE/options/formula >>  Menubar --- FILE/options/save >>  Menubar --- FILE/options/advanced>>  Commonly used Settings  Saving Settings address the things we do most often in the applications environment ( using the applications and development (programming) etc)  Worksheet Settings  The Tool bar  Programming

Cont’d)  Use FILE/save as command from menubar to Save this new workbook on H drive. Create a file folder named “My templates” COMPLETE -

Logical condition Programming – The basic If statement Returns one value if a condition you specify evaluates to TRUE and another value if it evaluates to FALSE.  Use IF to conduct conditional tests on values and formulas. Syntax  IF(logical_test,value_if_true,value_if_false)  Logical_test is any value or expression that can be evaluated to TRUE or FALSE.  For example, A10=100 is a logical expression; if the value in cell A10 is equal to 100, the expression evaluates to TRUE. Otherwise, the expression evaluates to FALSE. This argument can use any comparison calculation operator.

 Value_if_true is the value that is returned if logical_test is TRUE.  For example, if this argument is the text string "Within budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to TRUE, then the IF function displays the text "Within budget".  If logical_test is TRUE and value_if_true is blank, this argument returns 0 (zero).  To display the word “TRUE”, use the logical value TRUE for this argument.  Value_if_true can be another formula.  Value_if_false is the value that is returned if logical_test is FALSE.  For example, if this argument is the text string "Over budget" and the logical_test argument evaluates to FALSE, then the IF function displays the text "Over budget".  If logical_test is FALSE and value_if_false is omitted, (that is, after value_if_true, there is no comma), then the logical value FALSE is returned.  If logical_test is FALSE and value_if_false is blank (that is, after value_if_true, there is a comma followed by the closing parenthesis), then the value 0 (zero) is returned.  Value_if_false can be another formula.
