Phase 1 of IS101 was an adjustment period for me. Dealing with work, my other classes as well. It was a time to figure out my scheduling and how I would deal with each of my classes. Reflecting back in IS101, I would say that I kept up pretty well. What I would do differently in the future would be to take my bonus quizzes, unfortunately I haven't done a single one.
From chapter 4, 4.7.1 was a topic that I was fascinated with. Its a useful feature that allows text to glow around objects. I use this skill outside IS101 when I need to create a poster or an article. I remembered using this feature a few years ago not knowing what it was. I had to use it when I was in high school, creating group article projects. It was important that the words would flow around images so that there would be no wasted space.
The MO-110 Word certification exam test our ability of what we learned in IS101 so far. I plan preparing for this by practicing the live simulation and redoing them until I feel comfortable.
I am in the process of finishing my presentation at this moment. I hope that everyone learns and also becomes interested in the Philippines as it carries a huge part of me since that is my home country.
Yes, you kept up well in Phase 1. May you start doing the bonus quizzes before Phase 2 ends :-)
ReplyDeleteVery glad you found 4.7.1 Text Wrap Options fascinating and applied what you learned outside of IS101-3205!
Good job on your slideshow presentation on Visiting the Philippines, Arthur ^_^
Hey Arthur,
ReplyDeleteReally appreciated your honesty in this reflection! It’s totally valid to still be figuring out how to manage everything, it’s a lot to juggle. I think it’s awesome that even though you didn’t do the bonus quizzes yet, you’re still keeping up well and looking at how to improve going forward.
Text Wrap (4.7.1) was a cool one for me too! It’s super useful for making posters and flyers look clean and professional. That’s awesome that you remembered using it back in high school, full circle moment right there. ^-^
Sounds like you've got a good handle on things despite the challenges! I love how you're already using what you learned in real life. Best of luck with your presentation—I bet you'll do great! I'm excited to learn more about the Philippines!
ReplyDeleteFiguring out a schedule to keep us on track is a challenge at first when starting school. Once you get it figured out it should be pretty smooth sailing. Glad to see you were able to balance it all out and have been doing good. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteYes, Phase 1 was a good opportunity to get a sense of how to manage our time, what to expect, and what is expected of us. Hope you do well on the upcoming phases of IS101-3205.
ReplyDeleteHi Arthur! You gave a great presentation on the Philippines. We share the same favorite foods of lechΓ³n and sinigang! Hopefully, you’ve found a balance that works well for you between work and school by now. Repeating the live simulations is a great way to study for the certification exam, and I’ll be doing the same for our next one soon.
ReplyDeleteHey Arthur! I loved your presentation, I hope to visit with friends who are native to the country! Glad to hear you were able to keep up with Phase 1, so I know that Phase 2 will be smooth sailing! Yeah text wrap was a cute little skill to learn, glad to hear you enjoyed learning it!
ReplyDeleteHello Arthur!
ReplyDeleteBonus quizzes are good just because you learn a lot from taking them. Especially the recent ones about dissecting the URL.
I enjoyed your presentation! It was interesting to learn about the Philippines, especially the food. I have a friend who lived here in Las Vegas and moved last year to the Philippines. I can tell he really enjoys it because he has his whole family there, and they are always getting together and having gatherings with food.
Nice job keeping up despite a busy schedule! I agree text wrap from 4.7.1 is super helpful, especially for posters and projects. Good luck on your MO-110 prep and can’t wait to see your presentation on the Philippines it sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt took me some time to figure out my schedule with work and my other classes too! It's no easy task to stay caught up with all your assignments while trying to adjust everything around you! Kudos to you! The formatting options with placing text around images is such a crucial skills and helps make your documents look more professional!
ReplyDeleteHey Arthur, it’s crazy how many topics and skills we have learned with Microsoft. Some I knew, some were new. I am excited to use what I’ve learned in my job and in other classes. I hope by now you have gotten adjusted and it has become easier to manage this class along with others.
ReplyDeleteHey Arthur,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your honest reflection!
It’s great that you’ve managed to balance work, other classes, and IS101—definitely not an easy task. I totally relate to the scheduling struggle in the beginning of the semester. Also, it's cool that you connected something from Chapter 4 to your past experiences and current needs, glowing text around objects can really elevate a design.
Hi Arthur, good job on reflecting. The future is bright for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Arthur, happy to hear you are doing well and feeling confident in your work too! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThe live projects are extremely helpful and preps us for the exam. I will visit the Philippines one day because my boyfriend is half Filipino and he talks about how beautiful it is π
