Wrap Up

     


    My overall experience in IS101 was one of one and I’ve taken a plethora of classes at CSN. The workload was a lot, but the assignments weren’t too complicated. My classmates were all nice and the instructor Albert Wu was good. You can tell he wants his students to be successful. What I gained from this class was more business etiquette like proper email formatting and how to use common applications in most industries. I chose topic 6.6.7 SmartArt and Shape Tips. I like SmartArt because it allows you to present information in a cool way that will grasp an audience’s attention. I am overall pleased with my experience in IS101 and am very excited for break because I deserve it! One more semester then I'll be a graduate.

The End is Near

    I think I will remember a lot of the information from Excel because a lot of it is straight forward or basic math formulas. I also feel like it depends on the scope of how you're using Excel because it can be used in more technical ways but I for sure have the basics down. A6 will test if I actually know how to use Excel but I think it will go well. I chose 5.7.8- Advanced Function Facts. I enjoyed this segment the most because it was the most challenging but helped me understand the functions used in Excel. It is completely based on numbers, so it was nice to refresh on my basic math skills. I know ideally, I want to be more than an average student but it's hard for me to go above and beyond in this class for some reason. I unfortunately don't prioritize all of my classes the same which I feel like contributes to why I only do the required assignments. I think I would be more engaged if it was more focused on cyber security.
