Final Post

This CSC 175 course has taught me a lot about computers and how they work. Whether it be the Our Digital World book or the excel and access assignments. We also had weekly blogs and other assignments like the group presentation, all of which were interesting and helpful. All of these taught me much more than any of the other computer classes I have taken, taught me and will be very beneficial to me in the future .

Over the course of this class, I have learned a great deal about both Microsoft Excel and Access. Before the class I had limited knowledge of Microsoft Excel and I had never even used  Access. All of the tutorials were really helpful and the assessments too. The tutorials, even though they were very long and time consuming, were the best way to learn about the different features and functions of excel and access. Especially for an online class. I really enjoyed the both the excel assessments, especially the assessment where we  planned a vacation. It was a great way to do something different instead of the tutorials and cases. Both of the excel assessments were creative ways to put to use our excel skills. I haven't started the access assessment yet, so I cannot comment on it. But overall, everything that we did containing to excel and access will be beneficial to me in the future. I am a finance major so I will more than likely be using a lot of excel, and I have also learned that access is becoming very popular in business and I might end up using it too. Even though I would prefer not to use Microsoft Access at all. I also enjoyed the weekly blogs. It was something different from all the excel and access assignments, especially some of the interesting topics like photo tampering and internet hoaxes. It was another outside of the box way to learn in this class. And Lastly, the Our Digital World book taught me all the ins and outs of the computer and how it works.

I honestly don't feel like anything is missing from this class. We didn't go over and Microsoft word or powerpoint material but that is what I was most common with coming into this class, so for me it wasn't needed. We learned a great deal about Microsoft excel and access, which for me was needed, and just about computers in general. I feel like this class covered everything excellently, especially for it being an online class, and I would not change anything about it for the future.
