final (pun intended) entry!

Dear Professor,

This was a great class for me in many different ways. First and formeost, it was a class which i looked forward to always and enjoyed. Secondly, it was a class which I had learned a lot in, without cramming before exams, but rather through a paced learning throughout the semester due to the "hand on" in-class exersices, as well as the case graders for homwwork. The text book was not so helpful for me as much as the in class exrecies with the Professor! Also, i felt that the journel entries were a great way to recap what i had learnt or did not understand. I especially appreciated the personilzed emails.

Furthermore, it was my the first time learning excel, and since learning it in class, i started to use for my own personel usage, mostly to create spread sheets to review gemara, which up intil now i did not have an efficiant to create these spreadsheets.

thanks for as great semester,

Natan

old word1&2 assignment

Sorry professor, i forgot to write a journal entry for the first assigments when i did them (i wasn't so familiar with how to use the blog then--i never used a blog before in my life before MIS class!).
The new word was very hard for me to adapt to because i am still using the old one on my computer, as opposed to excell which i never used before, so it was very easy to learn it from the new one (i think this was reflected on the assesments).
Anyways, in the first assigment i dont remeber learning anyrthing new, but in the second one the autocomplete function for the date was very helpful. Also, the "find and replace function is a hepful tool when you have to change the same word many times (like when you mispell a name throughout an entire essay...!).
take care,

power point #2

Hi again,

Something went wrong when i tried to re-sumbit the file and it kept on re-submbiting the original file for some reason until it didn't accept any more submissions, and the mistakes were extremly minor (to change a font and a few words).
Anyways i got more familiar with power point, especially with the flowchart and all the other chart options which i never knew about. Also, a very practical and important function of PP is the sub bullets (by simply pressing the tab button.

take care,

excel 6

Hi,

I thought this exercise was very helpful in terms of covering many different aspects of excel besides the formulas of course. The ones that were specifically helpful for me was the creation of the number series by inserting a small sample and then stretching it down to other cells. Also, i got more familiar with the different type of number styles and how to manipulate the amount of decimal places. However, I couldn't figure out what to do in question 14 when they asked me to apply the percent style to cells 16 and 17, did they mean the whole entire cells across? Well, that's what it wasn't right... but for the most part i was very comfortable.

take care,
~Natan
