I am not very experienced using technology. I can comfortably use Word, Power Point, Adobe Photoshop and various social media platforms. It takes me a while to be comfortable using new technology and new programs; however, I can learn the basics of a program relatively quickly.
I hope to learn how to more efficiently use Microsoft Excel during my time in the class because it is a commonly used program in my work office. I have used Excel to make charts and documents for my coworkers; however, it usually takes me a long time to figure out how to create the document the way my boss wants me to set it up. I hope that taking this class will make me a more efficient employee.
I was very interested to see the results for the learning style test because I had taken the same test in high school. It was interesting to see that I have somewhat the same results because I feel that I learn in a very different way since starting college. I have always been a reflective and verbal learner and I was very excited to see that taking notes and summarizing them in my own words is helpful to me because I often use that study technique when preparing for a test. This reassures me that I am studying in the best ways for my learning style.
Great post! Knowing the basics of these programs already sets you up for success in this course. We'll cover the basics as well as some fun tips/tricks to help you use the programs (including Excel) more proficiently. If there are specific skills you want to learn that we don't cover, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteI also hope to learn more about Excel. I always thought it was only for math or science majors, but I have always wanted to use it. It just always seemed so complicated. I think it is great your high school made you take the test! I wish I had known my learning styles earlier.
ReplyDeleteI was always hit or miss in Excel, so I hope to get better with it as well. As a sociology major I have to do projects where I have to structure data results. Hopefully I get better as well. Great post!
