Final Project Instructions & Rubric Project Overview The course final project is designed for you to apply the software application skills you acquired during the term. For this project, you will use all four of the Microsoft Office 2013 applications to create a unified project on a single topic. The instructions below are not step-by-step instructions–as part of the previous assignments you’ve already learned how to carry out various functions in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Instead, the information below details the requirements for the final project. If you need assistance with “how to do something in one of the Office applications” return to your previous assignments (and reference materials) and review how it was done in that assignment. Software Requirements You must use the following software applications to create the final project: • Microsoft Word 2013 • Microsoft Excel 2013 • Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 • Microsoft Access 2013 • No other versions of Office may be used. If you’re missing any of the above applications, keep in mind that the computers in the Open Use Computer Lab (DTEC 462) have all of these applications available for your use. Project Topic You may select any topic that is of interest to you. The course instructor must approve your topic before you begin working on it–be sure to obtain his/her permission sooner rather than later. Remember that your project will cover ONE topic. You will use ALL of the Office applications to create content related to your chosen topic.

Some examples of past project topics include: • develop a business, • highlight attending HCC, • your favorite sports team, • your favorite sport, • dream car, • moving out on your own, • researching your planned career, • planning a vacation, • planning a wedding, • highlight your native country or culture, • your passion in life, etc. Project Minimum Requirements The minimum requirements for each of the four applications are detailed in the checklists below. 1. Each application component is valued at 65pts. 2. There are 40 points allocated for student creativity. a. Students who meet only the minimum requirements for each software application may not receive the 40 points for creativity. The project is an opportunity for the student to demonstrate creativity in applying the software skills acquired during the term. Creativity is measured in various ways, including: • applying additional skills covered in the course but not listed as a minimum requirement, • adding additional graphics or pictures,

• applying varying color schemes, • creative formatting of the Excel chart, • using various design backgrounds with presentation slides, • creating your own slide background instead of using a design template, • adding a border to the Microsoft Word document component, • graphically editing pictures and other graphics, • adding external sounds or movie clip in the PowerPoint component etc. 3.
