Using spreadsheets to explore and make sense of data (AACT Webinar)

College professors are reporting that students are coming to college with a lack of spreadsheet skills and knowledge. In this webinar, participants will gain techniques in using spreadsheets to take sets of data (whether created in class or found from external sources) and distill results from them. Skills include graphing, performing calculations, filtering data, conditional formatting, and more.
