I realize that Excel and other spreadsheets are everywhere but when a
student does a calculation using a spreadsheet it is not at all apparent
what method, i.e. equation, he used since the equations are not visible
just results. That seems oppposed to the idea that they should show their
work so the instructor knows how they got their results. Perhaps there are
ways that students can explicitly state their equations and get around this
problem. For this reason several departments on our campus have
standardized on Mathcad since the equations are up front and clear.
