The overview is good, but you might add what scatter plots can be used for...also, you need your names, the date and contact information. You're going to need to do some copying and pasting, because each task needs it's own webpage and you need a clear navigation table to get there. For example, opening excel is one task--gets its own page and that is all that will go on there besides your navigation. busy readers don't want to read all the instructions. They want links so they can jump to what they read--where they are stuck.

When you begin a new task, you will start renumbering from one. Some pages will need the explanation of why and what you are doing the step for.....all of the sentences should be written with articles and punctuation..in other words, the, an and a with periods at the end of sentences. Complete sentences, as we discussed in class.
