Practice and demonstrate effective communication skills by explaining the functionality of an Excel model, using current technology tools (Zoom). The ideal is to “sell” your model to your audience.

To demonstrate proper knowledge of building and using an Excel model and how it can be useful(i.e., what business problem does it solve, “what-if” functionality/analysis your model has). The more complex and interesting the model, the better. Simple models are not impressive.

The model you submit should come from one of the homework problems you solved, NOT from the examples in the textbook. Report with more complex models will earn a higher grade. Report with simpler models will earn a lower grade. Think of your audience as your future boss, or a future client that is interested in using excel to improve their business operation or solve a business problem.

Remember, your task is to show or“walk” your audience through your model, so they see the benefit of using it in their respective workplace(make assumptions as to the workplace). Emphasize explaining the “why you should use this model” that you are showing. Demonstrate the power of the “what-if” functionality your model provides the audience.

•Keep in mind you could share this report with a potential future employer to display your superior knowledge of Excel and your ability to present information. The more professional and interesting report, the better odds at landing the job.The teacher videos explanations:
