Due: Friday, Nov 4, 2011, 11:00 PM

Requirement: You are the Teaching Assistant for the COMP 1001 course. The Professor wants to create a spreadsheet to record the marks for the students in the class. As T.A. it is your responsibility to design, implement and test this spreadsheet. Finish the following tasks and save your file as A3.xlsx

Part 1
1. Import the data from the marks file marks.txt, which contains a list of students and the raw data for the marks (The below example image just lists part of the data. Yours should have more.). (0.5 point) 2. Merge cells A1 to S1 as shown below. (0.5 point) Enter the text: COMP 1001 Student Marks. Change the font size of the text to 18pt, bold, centered and make sure the font is Calibri (it should be by default). (0.5 point)

Part 2
The marks for the course consist of 5 assignments, 1 midterm test and 1 final exam. The following is the marking scheme for each: * Assignment 1 is out of 25 marks. * Assignment 2 is out of 25 marks. * Assignment 3 is out of 25 marks. * Assignment 4 is out of 25 marks. * Assignment 5 is out of 25 marks. * The midterm test is out of 50 marks. * The Final Exam is out of 100 marks. The final grade should be calculated using the following two methods.

Method1: The worst of the 5 assignments will be dropped. The assignments together make up 20% of the final mark. The midterm makes up 30% of the final mark. The final exam makes up 50% of the final mark. Method2: The worst of the 5 assignments will be dropped. The assignments together make up 20% of the final mark. The midterm makes up 20% of the final mark. The final exam makes up 60% of the final mark. The best of grades calculated by above two methods is the final grade.

1. Calculate the following: 1) the worst of 5 assignments (Worst of A as shown in the example). (0.5 point) 2) the contribution of assignments to the final grade(A) (0.5 point) 3) Using two methods, calculate the contribution of Midterm (M1 is the contribution calculated by method 1, and M2 is the contribution calculated by method 2) (1 point) and contribution of Final (F1 and F2) (1 point) to the final grade. 4) The grades calculated using two methods (Grade1 and Grade2) (1 point) and the final grade (best of Grade1 and Grade2). (0.5 point) 5) the class average for each assignment, midterm, final exam and final grade (B13:H13 and Q13) . (0.5 point)

2. In column below/above, for each student, show below if the student final grade is less than the class average; show above if equal or greater than the class average. (0.5 point)

3. Finally there should be a column with a comment using the following marking scheme: (1 point) * 80 and above "very good". * between 60 and 79.99 "O.K." * Below 60, "Not great" 4. calculate how many final grades are below 60, between 60 and 90, and above 90 (in the example, fill the formulas in B14:B16). (1 point)

Part 3
Now create a 2D column chart for the final grade in class. Make sure the chart has appropriate titles and each axis is properly identified. The chart lies in the same spreadsheet with the table. (1 point)
