Final Thoughts

This class was very rewarding. Although I took this class twelve years ago, it was not the same. Twelve years ago we learned how to print overheads and how to create Power Point presentations. I found this more beneficial because of the advances and accessibility with technology. creating the formulas within Excel were the most difficult piece in the class. Now I feel more comfortable with the ability to showcase this skill in a classroom setting.

If I were to have one complaint, it would be that I do not feel the due dates of the assignments were fully defined. I felt rushed and under prepared to complete assignment. The mid-term, class assignments and final were all crammed together. I believe it would more beneficial to have each assignment parallel to class lectures. I believe it would be more beneficial to teach the content then immediately assess learning.

In Summation, I thoroughly enjoyed having Mr. Wakeman as my professor. I am leaving this class more confident in my technological skills. He opened my eyes to pod casting,and blogging. This class was also an excellent refresher to commonly used programs, such as word processing, presentations, and spread sheets.
