  over all data that was collected last week.
• Find your partner and go through each column
  identifying all conflicts/inconsistencies
• Ask me how to resolve the conflict if you are
  unsure how to do so
• When you are done collecting the data, post the
  FINAL spreadsheet on your class web page
• Both students should do this both should post
  the exact same file.
• After your files are posted, we will begin the
  next step adding up the data.
• Each student is responsible for adding up 4
  columns. You can do this as a team or
  individually, then meet to compare results. Each
  student should post your new spreadsheet with
  column totals on your class web page when you are
  done.
• Once you are done, use the remaining class time
  to work on your visual mock-up 1st drafts
