You are only editing the excel attachment

__________________________________________________________________________

Edit the excel attachment by doing the following steps: 

1. Open the start file EX2019-SkillReview-1-1. The file will be renamed automatically to include your name. Change the file name if directed to do so by your instructor, and save it.
2. If the workbook opens in Protected View, click the Enable Editing button in the Message Bar at the top of the workbook so you can modify the workbook.
3. Explore the workbook. If you accidentally make changes while exploring, press Ctrl + Z to undo the change.
   1. Click the worksheet tab labeled Stevens Hours.
   2. If necessary, use the vertical scroll bar to scroll down so you can see both weeks of billable hours. (If necessary, use the vertical scroll bar again to return to the top of the worksheet.)
   3. Click cell B2 (the cell displaying the staff member’s last name, Stevens). This is the cell at the intersection of column B and row 2.
      1. Note that the column B and row 2 selector boxes highlight.
      2. Note that the status bar displays Ready, indicating that you are in Ready mode.
      3. On the Home tab, in the Number group, look at the Number Format box at the top of the group. Note that the format for this cell is General.
      4. Double-click cell B2 to switch to Edit mode. Note that the status bar now displays Edit, and the blinking cursor appears within the cell. If you needed to, you could edit the text directly in the cell.
   4. Press Esc to exit Edit mode and return to Ready mode.
   5. Press Enter twice to move to cell B4 (the cell displaying the staff member’s billable rate). This cell is formatted with the Accounting Number Format number format.
      1. Look in the Number Format box and note that the format for this cell is Accounting.
      2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, look in the Cell Styles gallery, and note that the cell style Currency is highlighted. (If the Cell Styles gallery is collapsed on your Ribbon, click the Cell Styles button to display it.)
   6. Click cell B8 (the cell displaying the number of hours for Monday, August 5). This cell is formatted with the Comma cell style.
      1. Look in the Number Format box and note that the format for this cell is also Accounting.
      2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, look in the Cell Styles gallery, and note that the cell style Comma is highlighted for this cell. (If the Cell Styles gallery is collapsed on your Ribbon, click the Cell Styles button to display it.)
      3. Note the style differences between cell B4 (Accounting Number Format, Currency style) and cell B8 (Accounting Number Format, Comma style).
   7. Click cell B7 (the cell displaying the date 8/5/2019). This cell is formatted using the Short Date format. Note that the Number Format box displays Date.
   8. Double-click cell B14.
      1. Note that the status bar now displays Edit, indicating that you are in Edit mode.
      2. This cell contains a formula to calculate the daily bill for Monday, August 5: =B12*$B$4

   9. Press Esc to exit Edit mode.
   10. Double-click cell B12.
       1. Note that once again the status bar displays Edit, indicating that you are in Edit mode.
       2. This cell contains a formula using the SUM function to calculate the total billable hours for Monday, August 5: =SUM(B8:B11)
       3. In this case, the SUM function uses a single argument B8:B11 to indicate the range of cells to total.
       4. Note that the cell range B8:B11 is highlighted with the color matching the argument in the SUM function formula.
       5. Note that the reference to the cell range B8:B11 uses relative references.
   11. Press Esc to exit Edit mode.

   13. Press → to move through cells D12 through H12. Note the formula in the formula bar for each cell.
   14. Did you notice that the cell references in the formulas in cells C12 through H12 all use relative references?

You should incorporate these topics into your analysis section. If you do, then the chances of earning a high grade are GREATLY increased, in fact, this is the FIRST thing I look for when grading your papers. 

1. Explain why you selected this particular article among all the articles you could have chosen on your selected term.

2. Explain why you agree or disagree with the author’s key positions in the article. 

3. Explain how the article was easy or difficult to understand and why? 

4. What did the author do well in your opinion? Explain.

5. Describe what you believe the author could have done better in your opinion?

6. What else should the author have included in the article and would the article benefit from a different perspective (such as from a different nationality or different industry or experience perspective). Explain. 

7. What other sources or methods could the author have used to improve the research in the article?  (Hint: look up the types of qualitative and types of quantitative research methods). 

8. What information / in-depth study / or further research should the author focus on as a follow up to this article and why? 

9. Explain what audience would gain the most benefit from your selected article and how they could apply it in their professional lives. 

10. What did you personally gain from this article and how has it shaped your thinking on the topic?  

11. What are the conflicting or alternative viewpoints of the author’s position? Or  What additional research backs up and confirms or adds to the author’s position?  (Hint: this will require you to find another peer-reviewed article that challenges, confirms, or adds to, or provides a different perspective to your chosen article.)

Next,  I look for the summary, writing quality, and formatting. 

I am typically very lenient on the writing because I am more focused on your content, but I will also point out how the paper could be better written. I only heavily penalize poorly written papers when there are excessive writing problems.

Why do I grade papers in this class this way?  

One of the key differences in a Bachelor’s vs Master’s level is critical thinking. Bachelor’s level basically challenges direct knowledge and recall of information. The Master’s level is more about analysis and critical thinking and defending your position in a scholarly way. The analysis section of these papers is your opportunity to exercise critical thinking (that’s why I call this portion of your papers critiques). 

Recalling or simply explaining the journal articles is a bachelor’s level task. When I see this in your papers I give the paper an automatic C. If the paper is poorly written it also gets an F. 

To get a B or an A – you must provide a critique of the paper and the author and how well the author did and what you think of the article. The questions listed above do this properly.  

I do not want to read your version of the journal article. I may as well read the journal article for myself.  Just briefly describe the article in your summary section  – but the analysis section is where you put in your personal critique – in other words, address the questions listed above and even add in additional thoughts based on your own creativity.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.
