Project Instructions

The assignment is to populate an Excel Spreadsheet with charts and write no more than two pages related to the data. Namely, identify any economic trends (desirable or undesirable and write what the team would do to enhance or reverse the trends. Do not describe the data as that would be redundant since the charts are available. Also, do not write about a topic other than what is derived from the charts.

Grading will be based on how well each team follows instructions as well as on spelling, grammar, logic and the ability to be concise. (This is not a political exercise so it will not matter should a position lean one direction or another.)

This is a team exercise and will require each student to confer with the team to meet the assignment. It is up to each team to determine when and how to meet outside of class. Please advise should a team require support with technology or accessibility.

An Excel Spreadsheet Template with Charts will be provided for each team to populate.
