[ACCESS News] online math

[Paul Pennington]

Julie,
  Another possibility would be for them to set up the problems with
appropriate formulae in Excel. Anyone doing Business Math is probably going
to use Excel anyway, so knowing how to set up the components and
calculations would be a plus.  The instructor can then review the formulae
and results and make suggestions/refinements as needed.
  That can be done step by step, by asking them to create a separate formula
for each step in whatever process they are being asked to do.
