4. Now you will have to input your information. You are given 4 categories by default. If your question only has a yes/no answer, you only need 2 categories. If you could have multiple answers, you may need more than 4. 5. To calculate the percentage you need to take however may people said "yes" and divide it by the total number asked. You do the same for the "no" people. The number you are given will be the percentage out of 100. So if you ask 10 people and 6 say yes. You do 6 \ 10 = 0.6 --> therefore 60% said yes. That leaves 4 out of 10 who said no. So 4 \ 10 = 0.4 --> 40% said no Your pie graph would look a bit like this: Graphs should be finished and handed in by the end of class.

By this point, I bet you can think "If I could create any assignment for a keyboarding class, I would have my students do this..." I would like you to come up with your own creative idea for an assignment. The assignment must involve typing and must be measurable (i.e. you must have a certain speed or certain amount of words that can be counted) Beyond that, the assignment could be whatever you want. Please describe your "ideal assignment" in a minimum of 300 words. Describe what the student should do and what should be the final outcome of the assignment. What would a perfect finished copy look like. Some potential ideas:
* Note: you are not writing the assignments above, you are describing what your assignment would be like if you were the keyboarding teacher. Place in the "my perfect assignment" hand-in folder when complete. Wednesday - May 4

These are created solely with using your keyboard and using a combination of various letters and symbols. You must be careful to use your spacing and tab keys.ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. There are only 94 ASCII characters (95, if you include the space)-- these are the ones that are typically found on the standard American keyboard:Today's task will be to duplicate any 2 of the following images.
You should use the program "NOTEPAD" to do this. You will find this located under your Start Menu & "Accessories" folder.
