Students must submit a paper between two and five pages long that presents a recommendation and supporting data (including method of analysis) for a project. The student must also submit electronically the spreadsheets that were used to support the analysis including all embedded formulas. The overall grade for the project is based on three scores. The first score is based on the correctness and appropriateness of the analysis and recommendation (M1O2). The second score is based on the proficiency of the utilization of Excel and associated functions (M2O4). The third score is based on the executive summary’s persuasiveness in supporting the problem recommendation/solution and accompanying assumptions that led to the specific recommendation/solution (M4O1).
