CH204 Grade Calculator (Excel spreadsheet)
Just enter your grades into this spreadsheet as you receive papers back from your TA, and the spreadsheet will automagically calculate your overall course grade.

Experiment 2

CH204 Excel Demo Spreadsheet 2 (Excel spreadsheet)
This spreadsheet shows you how to do calculations with data that is already entered into the spreadsheet, and how to lock a cell into a calculation so that you can use the same cell in more than one calculation. The example uses fictitious Experiment 2 data. Clicking this link will open the spreadsheet.  To save a copy, choose File, then Save As, and find it a comfortable home on your own hard drive.

LINEST Demo (Excel spreadsheet)
If you ever need to determine how much error there is in the slope or y-intercept of a line, this is the easiest way in the whole wide world to do it.  Maybe even in the whole Milky Way galaxy.

Experiment 1

Sample Quiz 1 (pdf)
You won't get this quiz, or even the same quiz with different numbers, but this will give you a general sense of what to expect.

CH204 Excel Demo Spreadsheet 1 (Excel spreadsheet)
This spreadsheet has examples explaining significant digits, average and standard deviation, and interpolation.  Fun for the whole family!  Clicking this link will open the spreadsheet.  To save a copy, choose File, then Save As, and find it a comfortable home on your own hard drive.
