Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

Welcome to BA-216A: Data Analytics w/ Excel which will be taught across 10 weeks this Winter Term. This Portland Community College (PCC) course is intended to provide students with a clear understanding of Data Analytics within Excel and Tableau. Because our class is virtual (Online) you will need to do class work by yourself and with peers outside of class. 

The textbook is required, either in print or e-version. Make sure you have your textbook in hand by the start of class.  All the homework assignments, quizzes, and assessments will be open book and online in D2L. Most deadlines in the class are flexible but if you follow the due dates your workload will be nicely spread out over the entire term.

Office hours during the term will be hosted through Zoom meetings via appointment if you have additional questions.

Look forward to a great term with you!
