Pacman Pie Chart!

Hey Fonville Techno Students!

I know that you have been working on your exploding pie charts with explanation, and I have looked through many of them though am still grading them. They are looking pretty good, and I think most of you understand what you are doing. If you DON'T feel like you understand why I am having you do this, then be ready to ask me when I come in later this week.

For now I thought you would appreciate a joke pie chart created by someone (I really don't know who invented this thing) concerning Pacman. I know that many of you with an affinity for video games will know who Pacman is. You should ask yourself these questions:

1) What does this chart have to do with Pacman?

2) Why is this pie chart funny?

Admittedly, this is a little bit of nerd humor, but there is a little bit of nerd in everyone. (I will help you find the little nerd inside of you through at least one activity this semester!)

Harry Potter's Sorting Hat!

Hey Fonville Fans!

Have you ever watched much Harry Potter? Well I don't actually need to ask you because I have a bunch of survey data that you gave me that says you don't think it's so great. Well there is one useful scene from the movie that we'll be using this week as we discuss SORTING in Microsoft Excel.

If you aren't familiar with Excel much you will be. This is what everyday engineers like me use every day, but it will allow you to be POWERFUL with any data that you are using. You'll need to download these items to begin getting the power. :-)

Some of your survey 1 data

This is where you are going to dump your exploding pies!
