Pick your function
Functions are grouped by their presentation week. Each group shows the class topic and the exact workbook deadline, always 11:59 PM on the date shown. That date is the Monday the week starts, except in the two weeks with a Tuesday assessment (Sep 7 and Nov 2): those workbooks are due Wednesday instead, still before the Thursday demos. At least one presenter per section is drawn at random in class each week, and a second may be drawn if time allows.
⭐ Recommended functions connect especially well to the course topic and offer strong practical value in financial modeling. Stars do not affect grading. The function itself will not be taught in lecture: your demonstration introduces the function to the class. 365 means it needs the Microsoft 365 version of Excel, which every lab computer and your free student Office license has (older one-time-purchase Excel may lack these). Claimed functions grey out as classmates take them.
Manage my claim (change or release)
Releasing frees your function and week so you can claim again. Works until sign-up closes; after that, email me.
Completed demonstrations will be added each week to the class Function Library, creating a shared Excel reference throughout the semester.
You're set.
Write down your change code (or screenshot this page). You need it to change or release your claim, and it is only shown here. Submit your demo workbook in GeorgiaView by the exact "Workbook due" date and time above. Each week, at least one submitter per section is drawn at random to present live for about 3 minutes, and a second may be drawn if time allows.
Need to change it? Use "manage my claim" on the board any time before sign-up closes. After that, just email me.
