We will begin without computers today in order to study for the Excel user interface quiz that will take place first thing tomorrow. First we will look at some of the less familiar items on the screen and those that are more difficult to identify on the printout. Next you will be given some time to quiz each other.

For the second round, attempt to calculate the winner of the recent vote first by hand or more so by eye. Afterwards follow the written instructions and get Excel to figure them out. Do the answers match? This vote tallying is a project to be handed in. It is due tomorrow. There will be some time to complete it after the quiz, but you will need to work efficiently to produce an accurate and timely answer.

Note: Item 46 of the Excel user interface is a pane rather than another page break. Write that onto your paper.
