New Perspectives on Microsoft Excel 2016 Instructor’s Manual 2 of 5
Remind students that whenever they enter a formula into an empty table column, Excel automatically fills
the rest of that table column with the formula. This is referred to as a calculated column. If they need to
modify the formula in a calculated column, they edit the formula in one cell of the column and the
formulas in that table column are also modified.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Class Discussion: In what type of situations would you consider using the IF function? Inn what type of
situations would you consider using the AND function?
Quick Quiz:
1. When Excel automatically fills the rest of that table column with the formula, it is referred
to as a(n) _______. (Answer: calculated column)
2. Which function calculates the difference between two dates? (Answer: DATEDIF)
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Class Discussion: What is a structured reference? How does this make the formula easier to create and
understand? (Answer: A structured reference replaces the specific cell or range address in a formula
with the actual table name or column header. Structured references make it easier because the
names or headers are usually simpler to identify than cell addresses.)
Quick Quiz:
1. A(n) _______ is the actual table name or column header. (Answer: structured reference)
2. In a(n) _______ structured reference, only the column qualifier appears in the reference.
(Answer: unqualified)
TEACHER TIP
Remind students that an IF function can choose between only two outcomes. However, a nested IF
function can choose from among three or more outcomes.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Class Discussion: What is the difference between a syntax error and a logic error? (Answer: A syntax
error is an error in a statement that violates the rules of Excel such as unmatched parentheses. A
logic error occurs in formulas that work but return an incorrect result.)
Quick Quiz:
1. True/False. A nested function is when one IF function is placed inside another IF function
to test an additional calculation. (Answer: True)
2. True/False. Nested IF functions can only determine a maximum of five outcomes. (Answer:
False)

New Perspectives on Microsoft Excel 2016 Instructor’s Manual 3 of 5
TEACHER TIP
When a lookup table is used with a range of values, the compare values must be sorted in alphabetical order
if they are text, and sorted in low-to-high order if they are numbers. When the compare values are
arranged in a different order, Excel cannot retrieve the correct results. In this case, the VLOOKUP function
seems incorrect, but the real problem is how the lookup table is organized. The setup of the lookup table in
an approximate match is critical for a VLOOKUP formula to work as intended.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Quick Quiz:
1. True/False. The VLOOKUP function searches vertically down the lookup table. (Answer:
True)
2. True/False. The VLOOKUP function is used to compare values stored in the first column of
the lookup table. (Answer: False)
Class Discussion: What is the difference between the VLOOKUP function and the HLOOKUP function?
(Answer: The VLOOKUP function searches vertically down the first column of the lookup table
and retrieves the value from another column in the same row. The HLOOKUP function searches
horizontally across the top row of the lookup table and retrieves a value from a different row in the
same column.)
TEACHER TIP
Review Figure 8-33 with students and discuss the most common Excel error values.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Quick Quiz:
1. _______ indicate(s) that some element in a formula or a cell referenced in a formula is
preventing Excel from returning a calculated value. (Answer: Error values)
2. The _______ function can determine if a cell contains an error value and then display the
message you choose rather than the default error value. (Answer: IFERROR)
Classroom Discussion: If you see #NAME? or #VALUE! as the result of a VLOOKUP formula, what
might have happened? How do you correct it? (Answer: You might have entered a letter for the
col_index_num instead of a number.)
TEACHER TIP
To avoid the possibility of invalid data being entered into a table, you can use conditional formatting and
the IFERROR function to help reduce data entry errors.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
Quick Quiz:
1. True/False. Conditional formatting does not change a cell’s formatting when its contents
match a specified condition. (Answer: False)
2. What is the first step in highlighting duplicate records? (Answer: Select the column you
want to search for duplicates.)
Classroom Activity: Have the students practice editing a conditional formatting rule in the Employees
Excel spreadsheet.
TEACHER TIP
Make sure students understand the differences among the functions and when each should be used. Help
them to look at the answers to determine if the correct function was used.
CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES
1. Critical Thinking: What are the differences among the COUNT, SUM, and AVERAGE functions?
(Answer: The COUNT function tallies the number of data values in a range, the SUM function adds
the values in a range, and the AVERAGE function calculates the average of the values in a range.)
How do these three functions differ from the COUNTIF, SUMIF, and AVERAGEIF functions?
(Answer: Use COUNTIF, SUMIF, and AVERAGEIF when you want to calculate a conditional
count, sum, or average using only those cells that meet a particular condition.) Can you think of
examples of when to use each type of function?
Quick Quiz:
1. To reference cells within an Excel table, use _______. (Answer: structured references or cell and
range addresses)
2. If an Excel table has not been created for a range of data, use _______. (Answer: cell and range
addresses)
The Case Problems provide further hands-on assessment of the skills and topics presented in the
module, but with new case scenarios. There are five types of Case Problems:
• Apply. In this type of Case Problem, students apply the skills that they have learned in the module to
solve a new problem.
• Create. In a Create Case Problem, students are either shown the end result (such as a finished Word
document) and asked to create the document based on the figure provided, or, students are asked to
create something from scratch in a more free-form manner.
• Challenge. A Challenge Case Problem involves one or more Explore steps. These steps challenge
students by having them go beyond what was covered in the module, either with guidance in the
step or by using online Help as directed.
• Research. A Research Case Problem requires students to find information on the Internet to help
solve a problem or to include in the file they are creating.
• Troubleshoot. In this type of Case Problem, certain steps of the exercise require students to identify
and correct errors that are intentionally placed in the files. Completing these steps helps to promote
problem solving and critical thinking.

One of the things on which the members of the mission laid stress
in their request for the elevation of the school to the rank and title of
a college was that it already had “a good collection of philosophical
and chemical apparatus, believed to be the largest and best-
assorted collection in China.” Dr. Mateer also was accustomed to
speak of this apparatus with a pride that was an expression, not of
vanity, but of satisfaction in a personal achievement, that was
eminently worth while. For instance, in his letter to his college
classmates in 1897, he said: “I have given some time and
considerable thought and money to the making of philosophical
apparatus. I had a natural taste in this direction, and I saw that in
China the thing to push in education was physical science. We now
have as good an outfit of apparatus as the average college in the
United States,—more than twice as much as Jefferson had when we
graduated; two-thirds of it made on the ground at my own expense.”
It was a slow, long job to produce it. Early in his career as a teacher
in the Tengchow school he had little need of apparatus because the
pupils were not of a grade to receive instruction in physics; but it was
not very long until he recorded his difficulty, for instance, in teaching
pneumatics without an air pump. Some of his instruction at that
general period was given to a class of students for the ministry. He
was always careful to let it be known that his school was in no
degree a theological seminary; he held it to be vital to have it
understood that it was an institution for what we would call secular
instruction, though saturated through and through with Christianity.
But again and again throughout his life he took his share in teaching
native candidates for the ministry; and before the college proper
afforded them opportunity to study western science he was
accustomed to initiate these young men into enough knowledge of
the workings of nature to fit them to be better leaders among their
own people. Thus, writing in his Journal, February, 1874, concerning
his work with the theological class that winter, he said:
Not long afterward the situation was such that Dr. Mateer and Mr.
Hayes addressed to the trustees of the endowment a paper in which
a suggestion was made that under certain conditions the fund raised
by Dr. Happer should be turned over to the Shantung College. In that
paper there was a frank statement of their attitude as to English.
They were entirely willing to introduce that language, but only under
such conditions that it could not seriously alter the character and
work of the institution. The paper is too long for introduction here. It
will suffice to quote from a letter sent by Dr. Mateer at the same time
to one of the secretaries of the Board, and dated February 9, 1891:
During the period of his service in this capacity the college not only
did well in its regular work; it also made some important advances.
The total attendance was one hundred and eighty-one, and a class
of ten was graduated at commencement. At Tengchow he had
always valued the literary societies very highly, and these now
received a fresh impetus. Several rooms of the new Science Hall
were brought into use; two additional rows of dormitories were built,
one for college and personal teachers and workmen, and one for
students; not to mention lesser matters.
Nevertheless he found his official position in certain ways very
uncomfortable. Some of the reasons of this were casual to the
internal administration, and cannot now be appreciated by outsiders,
and are not worth airing here. Others were of a more permanent
nature, and had to do with the future conduct and character of the
institution. The question of English had been for a while hushed to
sleep; but it was now awake again, and asserted itself with new
vigor. In a letter dated December 19, 1907, he said: “I am strongly in
favor of an English School, preferably at Tsinan fu, but I am opposed
to English in the college. It would very soon destroy the high grade of
scholarship hitherto maintained, and direct the whole output of the
college into secular lines.” His fear was that if English were
introduced the graduates of the institution would be diverted from the
ministry and from the great work of evangelizing the people to
commercial pursuits, and that it would become a training school of
compradors and clerks. Later the intensity of his opposition to the
introduction of English was considerably modified, because of the
advantage which he perceived to be enjoyed in the large union
meetings, by such of the Chinese as knew this language in addition
to their own. He saw, too, that with the change of times a knowledge
of English had come to be recognized as an essential in the new
learning, as a bond of unity between different parts of China, and as
a means of contact with the outside world. Looking at the chief
danger as past, he expressly desired that the theologues should be
taught English. At any rate he had been contending for a cause that
was evidently lost. At this writing the curriculum of the college offers
five hours in English as an optional study for every term of the four
required years; and also of the fifth year. Dr. Mateer, besides, was
not fully in sympathy with a movement that was then making to
secure a large gift from the “General Education Fund” for the
endowment of the institution. In the letter just quoted he says: “The
college should be so administered by its president and faculty as to
send some men into the ministry, or it fails of its chief object. I am in
favor of stimulating a natural growth, but not such a rapid and
abnormal growth as will dechristianize it. I do not believe in the
sudden and rapid enlargement of the plant beyond the need at the
time. It would rapidly secularize the college and divert it entirely from
its proper ideal and work.” These questions were too practical, and
touched the vitals of the institution too deeply, to be ignored by
earnest friends on either side. Some things as to the situation are so
transparent that they can be recognized by any person who looks at
it from not too close a point of view. The entire merits of the
argument were in no case wholly on one side; and as a
consequence it is not surprising that wise and good men differed as
they did; and the only decisive test is actual trial of the changes
advocated by the younger men. It is also perfectly plain that in this
affair we have only another instance of a state of things so often
recurring; that is, of a man who has done a great work, putting into it
a long life of toil and self-sacrifice, and bringing it at length to a point
where he must decrease and it must increase; and where in the very
nature of the case it must be turned over to younger hands, to be
guided as they see its needs in the light of the dawning day. He can
scarcely any longer be the best judge of what ought to be done; but
even if he were, the management must be left for good or ill to them.
That evidently is the fight in which Dr. Mateer came ultimately to see
this matter. He courageously faced the inevitable. In this, as in all
other cases, no personal animosity was harbored by him toward
anyone who differed from him.
October 27, 1907, he wrote to an associate on the Mandarin
Revision Committee: “I have now dissolved myself from the
management of the college, and shall have very little to do with it in
the future. It has cost me a great deal to do it, but it is best it should
be so. I am now free from any cares or responsibility in educational
matters.” In a letter to Secretary Brown, dated December 21, 1907,
he said: “In view of the circumstances I thought it best to resign at
once, and unconditionally, both the presidency and my office as
director. I have no ambition to be president, and in fact was only
there temporarily until another man should be chosen. I did not wish
to be a director when I could not conscientiously carry out the ideas
and policy of a majority of the mission. It was no small trial, I assure
you, to resign all connection with the college, after spending the
major part of my missionary life working for it. It did, in fact, seriously
affect my health for several weeks. I cannot stand such strains as I
once did.”
One of the striking incidents of his funeral service at Tsingtao was
the reading of the statistics of the graduates of the Tengchow
College, including the students who came with the college to Wei
Hsien. These have since been carefully revised and are as follows:
Total receiving diplomas, 205; teachers in government schools, 38;
teachers in church schools, 68; pastors, 17; evangelists, 16; literary
work, 10; in business, 9; physicians, 7; post-office service, 4; railroad
service, 2; Y. M. C. A. service, 2; customs service, 1; business
clerks, 2; secretaries, 1; at their homes, 6; deceased, 22. These
graduates are scattered among thirteen denominations, and one
hundred schools, and in sixteen provinces of China. About two
hundred more who were students at Tengchow did not complete the
course of studies.
The institution since its removal has continued steadily to go
forward. The large endowment that was both sought and feared has
not yet been realized, and consequently the effect of such a gift has
not been tested by experience; but other proposed changes have
been made. A pamphlet published in 1910 reports for the college of
arts and sciences an enrollment of three hundred and six students,
and in the academy, eighty. The class which graduates numbers
seventeen, all of whom are Christians. Down to that year there had
been at Wei Hsien among the graduates no candidates for the
ministry, but during 1910, under the ministration of a Chinese pastor,
a quiet but mighty religious awakening pervaded the institution, and
one outcome has been a vast increase in the number of candidates
for the ministry or other evangelistic work. The pamphlet already
quoted speaks of more than one hundred of the college students
who have decided to offer themselves for this work. It is
appropriately added that “such a movement as this amongst our
students inspires us with almost a feeling of awe.... Our faith had
never reached the conception of such a number as the above
simultaneously making a decision.” It has recently been decided to
bring all the departments of the university to Tsinan fu, the provincial
capital.
In the theological college at Tsingchow fu, according to the last
report, there were eleven students in the regular theological
department and one hundred and twenty-eight in the normal school.
In the medical college at Tsinan fu there were thirteen young men.
The aggregate for the whole university rises to five hundred and
thirty-eight. On the Presbyterian side this all began with those six
little boys, in the old Kwan Yin temple, in the autumn of 1864, at
Tengchow. To-day it is a university, and is second to no higher
institution of learning in China.
It is said that Dr. Mateer never led in prayer, either public or
private, that he did not most earnestly ask that the Lord would raise
up Chinese Christian men, who as leaders would bring many to
Christ. His prayers during the forty-five years of his missionary life
are receiving a wonderful answer at Wei Hsien and at Tsingchow fu.
