The purpose of this project is to understand the changes that have taken place in the 12 years GGC has existed. It also will give you an idea of the makeup of your student body today.
To turn in the project: Go into our class in D2L. One of the choices along the top is Assignments. Click on Assignments. Click on GGC Percent Project. Upload your file (You must have your project in a Microsoft Word file or a PDF).
Use the GGC website to find the information about Fall 2017 and Fall 2006.
You can find Fall 2017 information athttp://www.ggc.edu/about-ggc/at-a-glance/ggc-facts/
In a couple of places the data on that page is from 2016, not 2017. Go ahead and use that since the data on that page is the most current information publicly available.
You can find Fall 2006 info by looking on the sidebar of the same web page and clicking on “GGC by the numbers”. Once on the new page, you will scroll down to the Data by year section, and choose 2006-2007. You can then look in the Fact Book for that year.
Note: For each calculation you do, please type the work. For example: (20-18)/18 x 100% = 11%
