Review of Last Time | 7/1 Session Links |
In our last session, we saw that the key idea to remember about graphics is that they can help you during model development. We often remember them for presentations to others, but we sometimes forget about presenting to ourselves.
Keep your graphical presentations simple enough that the relationships between data elements are as clear as possible. Don’t obscure the main point with clutter.

Many believe that the main benefit of spreadsheet inspections is that they locate issues so they can be fixed. Certainly they do accomplish that. But spreadsheet inspections, when performed early enough and often enough, can actually prevent problems. And preventing problems is certainly more valuable than locating them.
We hope that you’ll apply what you learn about spreadsheet inspections when you work on your projects. If you’re working in a team, review your project schedule and decide when would be advantageous times to insert an inspection or two. If you’re working alone, ask someone else who’s working alone if they would be willing to inspect your project in exchange for your inspecting theirs.
Since we don’t grade on a curve, helping someone else doesn’t hurt you. Inspection exchanges raise the quality of both projects — and both grades. Whatever you do, don’t wait until the end to do your inspections.
