I have to confess that I do not use Excel. I do my grades in SPSS because I find it easier to use. It could be something with my aversion to reading directions. J The benefits I like most from the specialized software are 1) The system will send email reminders to participants and researchers, 2) students can log in and to see how many credits they have completed if they forget and 3) If a study requires prescreening, potential participants are prescreened online before they sign up for the study.
