CINS 101 Final Exam Spring 2016
Instructions – 3 Parts
Capstone Project 1: Hammonds County Dog Park
The Capstone Project consists of an integrated, comprehensive set of problems related to a single
scenario. Students apply concepts and skills presented in this book to create solutions to the problems
using Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and Outlook.
Rescue Pets Animal Shelter, which is located in Hammonds County in Florida, received a donation of
land for a county dog park, to be called the Hammonds County Dog Park. The donation stipulated that
the animal shelter must raise the necessary funds to build and maintain the dog park without using
government funding. The board of directors for Rescue Pets already has a strategic plan and a master
design for the dog park that builds the park in phases. Funding for Phase 1 is almost completed, and pet
owners are eager to begin using the park. Not only will the park be a place where dogs can run off leash,
but there is enough space for a small educational building. The animal shelter can use the dog park and
building to provide obedience training and classes on pet care to children and adults. To raise funds to
complete the dog park, the animal shelter put together a committee of interested and committed
individuals to run a fundraising campaign. The campaign's theme is Together we can make it happen!
The committee holds fundraisers, solicits donations from businesses and individuals, and applies for
foundation grants. Because you have a job at the animal shelter helping with community involvement
and public relations, you have been providing support to the committee.
Creating a One-Page Flyer with a Picture and a Table
Problem: The dog park committee has organized a Pet Party in the Park fundraiser and has asked you to
create a flyer for distribution to the community.
Instructions Part 1: Create a blank document and change the theme colors to Red Orange. Use the
default font of Calibri Body but change the font size to 12. Enter the text and table of the flyer and
modify the text and table as shown in Figure 1-1 . Locate the clip art by searching for the text, pet, in
the Office.com clip art search box. Check the spelling of your document. Save the document using the
file name, Capstone 1 Flyer.
Instructions Part 2: The committee is pleased with your flyer, but the committee chair does have some
changes for you. Move the ‘Strut your mutt’ bullet so that it is the second bullet in the list. Delete the
second sentence in the paragraph following the bulleted list. In the same paragraph, increase the font
size for the text, 20%, to 14. Center this paragraph. Center the table and adjust the columns to fit the
table contents. Move the clip art to the right side of the table title, and set it to tight text wrap. Leftalign the paragraph immediately under the table. Delete the tab stop at the 4-inch mark, and use a
semicolon between the phone number and volunteer activity. Change the custom tab stops for the
volunteer list so that the text is more evenly aligned across the page. Mary Jones cannot coordinate the
children's activities. Her daughter, Jackie Jones, has agreed to do it. Search for and replace Mary's name
with Jackie's. Finally, use the Thesaurus to find a synonym to replace the word, donations, in the first
paragraph, and check the spelling again. If requested by your instructor, change Pat Sinz's name to your
name. Save the flyer again with the same file name. Submit the document in the format specified by
your instructor.
PowerPoint Capstone Project 1
Creating a Presentation with Images and a Transition
Problem: The committee needs a short presentation that individuals can use when they visit local
business groups to ask for funding.
Instructions Part 1: Use the typed notes shown in Figure 1-2 to start the presentation shown in Figure 13 . Use the Parallax theme with the brown variant. Use a Title Slide layout for Slide 1, the Two Content
layout for Slide 2, the Content with Caption layout for Slide 3, and the Title and Content layout for Slide
4.
On Slide 1, resize and move the title placeholder to the position shown in Figure 1-3(a). Bold the
subtitle, change the font size to 36, and apply the Text Shadow effect.
On Slide 2, shown in Figure 1-3(b), enter the text in the left placeholder and add the title in the top
placeholder. In the right placeholder, locate the clip art by searching for the text, dog, in
the Office.com clip art search box. Resize the picture to approximately 3ʺ × 4.5ʺ, change the color
saturation to 66%, apply the Pastels Smooth artistic effect, and soften the picture by 25%. Add the Bevel
Perspective Left, White picture style with a White, Background 1, Darker 5% border. Change the font
size of the word, Dogs, to 24 point. Use the Format Painter to make the same change to the word,
Owners. Bold the first occurrence of the word, safe, and change the font size to 20 point. Use the
Format Painter to make the same change to the other occurrence of the word, safe.
On Slide 3, shown in Figure 1-3(c), enter the text in the right placeholder and enter the title text in the
title placeholder. Change the title font size to 32 point. Move the title placeholder so that it is even with
the first bullet as shown in Figure 1-3(c). Delete the remaining text placeholder. Insert a right arrow and
position it as shown in the figure. (Hint: Do not use SmartArt for the arrow.) In the arrow, type Phase 1
Design using a font size of 20 point and a font color of Orange, Accent 1, Darker 50%.
On Slide 4, shown in Figure 1-3(d), enter the bulleted text and delete the title placeholder. Open the
Format Background dialog box and use the text, girl with dog, to search Office.com clip art and insert the
picture shown inFigure 1-3(d). Set the transparency to 70%. Use Word-Art style, Fill-Black, Text 1,
Shadow to enter the text Together we can make it happen! Change the Text Fill to Red, Accent 2,
Darker 50%. Add a Red, Accent 2, Darker 50% text outline with a weight of 1½ pt, and apply the Off Axis
1 Left 3-D Rotation text effect. Save the presentation using the file name, Capstone 1 Presentation.
Instructions Part 2: The chair of the fundraising campaign reviewed your presentation and has suggested
a few changes. Apply the Reveal transition to all the slides and decrease the duration to 02.75.
On the Dog Park Facilities slide, Slide 3, enhance the arrow by adding a Red, Accent 2, Darker 50% shape
outline color with a border weight of 4½ pt. Change the shape fill to the Papyrus texture.
To more specifically target local businesses, the chair wants to emphasize the community benefits of a
dog park. Duplicate Slide 3, and move Slide 3 so that it becomes Slide 2. On the new Slide 4, delete the
arrow shape and text. Change the slide layout to Title and Content. Search for the word, community, in
the Office.com clip art search box and insert the picture shown in Figure 1-4. Increase the size of the clip
art to 275%. Apply a correction of Brightness: 0% (Normal) Contrast: 0% (Normal) and change the color
of the picture to Orange, Accent color 1 Light. Use a drop shadow rectangle picture style and add the
Tight Reflection, touching picture effect. Replace the text on the slide with the text shown in Figure 1-4,
formatted as bulleted text. If requested by your instructor, add another bullet with your first and last
name. Change the font size of the title to 40 point.
Save the presentation again using the same name and submit the assignment in the format specified by
your instructor.
