Why learn here?
I was behind "enemy lines" for 2 years as a teacher assistant for an undergraduate-level coding course. I know exactly what you need to be prepared for!

Over my time as a teacher assistant, I gathered the most effective teaching methods to make Excel concepts stick. Not only that, but I have extensive experience with Excel, tutoring many struggling students in it over my years in college.
Ultimately, I've been in your shoes. I entered my first coding class as a complete beginner only 4 years ago, so I'm familiar with your current level of understanding and know exactly what you need in order to pass your Excel exam.
The plan
Each article in this series, I'm going to...
1) Explain the concept with simple, real-world explanations.
2) Show you how to apply that concept in Excel.
3) Give you a practice problem to solidify what you just learned.
Why do it this way?
First, I want to put these Excel concepts in terms that a 3rd grader would understand. That way, there's no doubt it will make sense to you before we start coding.
Second, practice makes perfect. I want to show you how to apply what you've learned!
