Tracking hours and wages for students paid by check

Tracking hours and wages for each student. Number of work hours determines the # of credits earned. The # of required hours are given by the state department. In CTEI if students earns 180 work hours, one credit is given for the semester. If a students earns 360 work hours, 2 credits is given for the semester. I prefer to use an Excel spreadsheet because while we are tracking hours and wages for students we are also learning features of Excel softwareusing formulas, functions, and formatting cells. We also learn how to read a check stub.10
