When are the Sinauer books going to become available as part of the Spreadsheet Project?
Good news! You can now get pdf files directly from the Spreadsheet Project website. Each module consists of instructions for putting together a spreadsheet, a spreadsheet “shell,” that contains column headings, etc. so you can focus your energy on entering equations rather than headings, a completed spreadsheet, and answers to questions. If you want one of the original books, you can buy them on eBay but they cost a lot! Back to Top Don’t only sissies use spreadsheets? Some scientists really hate spreadsheets. But the truth is that they are a GREAT way to teach students how to think through ecological or analytical problems. I have taught many courses in the past few years and started with “canned” educational programs, where students press buttons, run a simulation, and generate results. I switched to spreadsheets when I realized that very few students could tell me how the results were generated or what they mean. I’ve seen students be converted from math-phobics to hard-core modeler
