At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information we needed to know about Excel and Aleks. Once I figured out how much time was required to complete the assignments and homework, I adjusted my schedule to allow at least 15 hours per week between Aleks, Excel, and tutoring. As far as studying I printed out many of the explanations in Aleks so I could look back on them and reference the formulas. Advice that I would give myself in topic one would be to take a deep breath, start everything early, and take advantage of the tutoring GCU offers for this course
