Throughout the course of your academic career, you will be
asked to conduct research to support the assertions you make
in papers, presentations, and projects. Sometimes getting at the
material you will need is fairly straightforward, while other
times the research process forces you to get a little creative in
seeking out (and finding) the types of source material that will
be most useful to you. This exercise will allow you to practice
conducting different types of searches.
Choose two of the following scenarios. For each scenario you
choose, answer each component as clearly and completely as
possible.
1. You are writing up your weekly
responses for your COM106
course and want to respond to a
classmate who discusses the
need to use social media in a job
search. You are not familiar with
this phrase.
1. Describe what sort of
search you would conduct

to help you in responding to
this student and why. What
search engine(s) or
database(s) might you use
and why? What search
terms? How would you go
about evaluating the
credibility of the
information you found?
2. Please share three search
results you found after
conducting this search that
you think would be the
most helpful in responding
to your fellow student. Give
a brief summary of the
content of each source and
describe why you think it
would be appropriate to
use in this particular
context.
2. You are going to be writing a
research paper for your ENG101
class on a social issue of your
own choosing. You know that
you have always been interested
in the role addiction plays in the
problem of homelessness, but
you are not sure what credible
research is available to support
this connection.
1. What sort of search might
you conduct to help you get

the information you seek
and why?
2. A search that deals with
multiple components
sometimes requires a few
tries to get at the
appropriate information.
What keywords or
combinations of keywords
might help you find the
relevant information here?
Be sure to include details
regarding how you might
represent these words
within the actual search
box (using quotation
marks, “and,” “or,” etc.)
most helpful in supporting
this connection. Give a brief
summary of each source
and describe why you think
it would be appropriate to
use in this particular
context.
3. You are putting together a
presentation on the benefits of
sports in the lives of children for
your PSY180 course. You think
that your presentation would be
much stronger if you were able

to argue against some of
the oppositionto your point of
view, although you are unsure
where to find information that
opposes your stance.
1. What sort of search might
you conduct to help you get
the information you seek
and why?
2. How will you ensure that
the sources you use are
credible and reliable?
most helpful in supporting
the opposition’s point of
view. Give a brief summary
of the content of each
source and describe why
you think it would be
appropriate to use in this
particular context.
Compile your responses in a 2–3-page paper in Microsoft
Word. Clearly cite your sources. Since we do not cover APA
format until Module 2, you do not need to use any specific
citation format, but you must identify where you found any
information you use in your response.

UOP COM 106 Module 2 Assignment 2 Creating a Flyer NEW
106-module-2-assignment-2-creating-a-flyer-recent
Before beginning this assignment, you should thoroughly
review Windows Explorer, File Management, Office Features,
and Word Documents from your course textbook, Go! All in
one: Computer concepts and application.
For this assignment you will be creating a one-page flyer in a
Microsoft Word document. The flyer will advertise the fitness
activities for students at a college. There are two categories of
fitness activities: Fitness Services and Intramural Sports. Please
carefully read the paragraph below to understand the fitness
activities on and off campus.
The Associate Students of Laurel College sponsors fitness
activities. These take place both on campus and off campus. The
activities fall into two categories: Fitness Services and
Intramural Sports. Fitness Services are noncompetitive
activities, with the most popular being Kickboxing, Jogging, and
Aerobics. The most popular Intramural Sports activities—
which include competitive team and club sports—are Field
Hockey, Volleyball, and Basketball.
Open a new Microsoft Word document
Create a one-page flyer that contains the following:
A title that uses Text Effects
A text description about the activities based on the fitness

activities detailed above. Do not simply copy and paste this!
Rework it to more clearly present the information in your flyer.
A SmartArt graphic
A picture of your choice or the w01K_Volleyball image.
Text that wraps around the graphic and/or the picture to
demonstrate the use of the Text Wrapping feature.

UOP COM 106 Module 3 Assignment 2 Expenses Worksheet in
Excel NEW

excel-recent
Part 1: The Spreadsheet
M3: Assignment 2 Expenses Worksheet in Excel
Begin by opening a new Microsoft Excel file. (You may use the
template found here.) Save it as LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2
Use Rows 1 and 2 for a title.
Beginning in row 4, use column A to list your different
expenses.
Label the next three columns (B, C, D) for the past three
months.
Fill in the appropriate amount for each expense for each month.
Beside the column with your third month’s entries, create
another column for totals for each category.
Use a formula to calculate a total for each category of expense.
In the row below your last expense entry, create another row
for the monthly totals of expenses. Use a formula to calculate a
total for each month of expenses.
Beside the column add another column for calculating the
percent of the budget for each expense category.
Use a formula to calculate the percent that each expense
category is of the total expenditures. Format the worksheet by

adjusting column widths and wrapping text, and by applying
appropriate financial number formatting and cell styles.
Please Note: While some calculations might be easy to do in
your head or using a calculator—merely typing the answer into
the appropriate cell—the point of this assignment is to get you
accustomed to using formulas. In situations requiring
frequently updated data or more complex calculations, Excel is
a very powerful tool if you know how to use it. Your grade is
based on your demonstrated ability to use the required
formulas.
Part 2: The Chart
Below your table of monthly expenses, you will create a chart
using the numbers from your spreadsheet similar to the
example below.
Open the Insert ribbon at the top of the screen.
Click on a populated cell inside your spreadsheet, then, click on
Column on the Insert ribbon. Select the style of column chart
you like.
Click and drag your column chart into position below your
spreadsheet.
Save your file as LastnameFirstinitial_M3_A2.xls. Submit this
document to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, July 1,
2014.
Suggested challenge for intermediate users: Add a row or rows
detailing your income and subtract the total expenditures from
the total income.
Suggested challenge for advanced users: Use a formula,
function, or combination of both to show your net gain or loss
(income minus expenses summed over time) for the three‐
month period.
