The Details are in the Image

When I came into IS101, I had some basic knowledge using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. I had not used PowerPoint previously. While I feel I have much more knowledge in these areas, Excel is challenging to me. After IS101 I intend to improve knowledge base in these areas.

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho was the subject of my PowerPoint presentation. The takeaway from my PowerPoint presentation, is that many people are not aware of the details that are present in a film. Details that people appreciate subconsciously, but do not realize why. This is why it is important to set a goal that people can see from the beginning.

IS101 has truly been a journey that I will remember.

Format a Survey Report and Create and Manage Workbooks, Getting Through This.

For Chapter 4, I chose LabSim skill 4.11.10 (Format A Survey Report). As part of my job, I frequently have to change information in prototype reports. Because those documents are viewed by many others, I find this LabSim helpful.

For Chapter 5, I chose 5.2.7 (Create and Manage Workbooks). I use an Excel spreadsheet daily as a log with multiple worksheets. I find this section helpful, as I was able to get tips on managing my workbooks.

I see myself getting through IS101 modestly.
