I've been chipping away at the first set of assignments for a couple days now and, having worked through a fair amount of tasks already, my initial impression of the course would be that it serves to cover all the bases. The Microsoft Office suite seems to be the central focus overall, but I've also branched into other areas that are very helpful, like establishing rules to organize one's inbox, the basics of working on the cloud, etc. The course seems to give folks an introduction to all aspects of information systems used these days.
After having worked for a state agency for a little while, I can definitely tell my command of Microsoft Office products (Word in particular) could be stronger. Hopefully, I can pick up some useful tips for formatting, document organization, things like that.
Your initial impression is spot on!
ReplyDeleteYou will bolster your command of Microsoft Office products, along with other digital literacy skills ^_^
Very glad to have you in IS101-3010, Spring 2022, Andrew :-)
Same here, I think that I have a good understanding of Word and Excel, but I can't wait to learn more short cuts and understanding the why behind the things that we are learning.
ReplyDeleteI also think I could benefit from a more in depth look at Microsoft Office products. Can't wait to meet, and learn from everyone!
ReplyDeleteSame, I have already learned so many tricks and cant wait till I learn more and use it in real life
ReplyDeleteAlong with Word I also look forward to learning how to better utilize Power Point for presentations and Excel for better spreadsheet management.
ReplyDeleteI can see how all of this knowledge will help in the future and that's what I can't wait for.
ReplyDeleteI too am looking forward to expanding my office skills. I use a lot of these programs already at work but am looking forward to learning more about these programs. As my dad always says, "You never stop learning something new."
ReplyDeleteI am also very excited to learn more about Microsoft Office skills. I am not very good at Microsoft Excel which is something I am interested on expanding more on.
ReplyDeleteI think courses like this are definitely needed for everyone seeing as the world is investing more and more into technology. It is very difficult and can be quite tricky learning the intricacies regarding software and other program features for people of all ages and upbringing. I thought I knew a decent amount but I'm already learning alot just from the first week so I'm with you on being excited to bolster my skills regarding programs such as Microsoft Office.
ReplyDeleteYes! I am already learning so much from this class. Very excited for all that is to come.
ReplyDeleteI also think that I could benefit from Microsoft office my knowledge of it has always been hands on and only understand the basic features.
ReplyDeleteWhen we learned to how organize our Outlook emails and set rules for our folders, I also found that very helpful. That is definitely a tool I will be using outside of class.
ReplyDeleteI can attest to the fact that I am definitely going to benefit from this course because of my digital literacy level: novice. I can see where I will benefit tremendously in this class. I am already learning some basic things, such as email signature, standard research, how to install hyperlink, etc. Now I am looking forward to continue learning and gathering all the information I can gather.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have some knowledge of the Information System before starting this class. You are already ahead. I thought I knew the computer system, but taking this class I realized there is so much more, and how little I know so I will definitely benefit greatly from this class.
ReplyDeleteThe course is beneficial with the tricks, tips, and all around technical information it has to provide. These important techniques show there is always good in life, but theres also better. Meaning I see how the information we will receive will grant us better knowledge of technology in the real world.
ReplyDeleteThis course is definitely a good refresher! There are many things that I have learned here that I have helped me at work especially when creating my reports at the end of the night.
