Whole Brain Post- by Angie Brasher

I had a project I just finished for my Financial Accounting class called the “Monopoly Project.” We started off by playing Monopoly and recording our transactions, then we completed the full accounting cycle using the records from the game. Each document was put as a separate sheet in Excel. The main point of the project was to have a real example of accounting, rather than just submitting homework problems and exercises. However, because the main point of the project was to get the accounting part, and Excel linking, correct, I didn’t focus on design and the appearance of the worksheets as much. I feel that if had more time I could have used more of my right-brain in being creative and making my document more presentable. Currently I am taking CS-125, which is an Excel and Access class, and I’ve learned a lot that really helped me in this project with the more technical part, but I felt like I could have done a lot more with design and color schemes.
