    we are running this in conjunction with unit 11.  It is running quite well - students are holding regular meeting and bringing all the documentation necessary to each meeting.  This means they get feedback on issues to do with the product to improve the final outcome from various viewpoints.  It also means I get to keep track and make sure they are completing the work.

     have been looking through the edexcel book to form an understanding of the edexcel features pupils need to apply to the solution in order to create an A grade work.

    We are combining unit 8 and 11, however, pupils are learning both spreadsheets and project management at the same time, though by different teachers, and project management is my responsibility!

    They understandbly, find it difficult to identify and define the scope of the project, since they have not yet learnt Excel to an advanced level.

    Does anyone have a list of spreadsheet features (to apply in creating a solution) that would allow pupils to achieve a good grade?

    I have also spoken to some other teachers at my school who have applications for pupils hence are willing to be a client. However, without having the type of list stated above, it is difficult for me to guide pupils and advice the teachers who are willing to act as clients.

    Thanks

    Hi for the project we usually incoporate vlookups, named ranged, sheets with links between them (input/proces/output), buttons to initiate macros, macros to do things like link between pages/clear cell contents/print etc, if statements, usual range of formulae, data automatically tranferred between sheets, validation, drop down boxes, tick boxes, option buttons etc etc.... Check the specification for further info.  HTH

    I am running Unit 8 and 10. I have chosen Turbo Project Express for the Project Management Software. It seems to cover the requirements, without being too complex and only costs 50$.
