ARSC 393B: Intro to Excel Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets run the world. Budgets, sports stats, lab results, business plans — all of it lives in Excel. Whether you’re crunching numbers for class, tracking your side hustle, or just trying to make sense of your weekly coffee spending, Excel is one of the most versatile tools you’ll ever use. The catch? Most people only scratch the surface of what it can actually do. This course is your chance to unlock Excel’s hidden superpowers. We’ll start simple, with entering and formatting data, and quickly move into creating professional-quality graphs and exploring clever shortcuts. Along the way, you’ll see how Excel is less about “number crunching” and more about making decisions, solving problems, and telling stories with data. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with practical skills that transfer to any field — and a final project that shows what you can do with Excel. Think of it as a three-week power-up that will save you time, make your work sharper, and give you an edge wherever data shows up (which is basically everywhere). Excel is your power-up for turning raw numbers into real insight.
