Continuing the Journey

During phase 1, I think I did amazing. I was flying through all my assignments and so far ahead that I completed my first MOS Exam-Microsoft Word in a week in a half of the semester starting. Working through the LabSim assignments I found it to be very engaging and helping me improve my practical skills and gain a clearer understanding of the material. I wouldn't do anything differently since I was at a good pace.

For Discussion 4 Part 2, I choose 4.5.2 Page and Column Breaks. I choose this topic because back when I used write essays, when I needed a paragraph to start on a new page I would repeatedly press the enter key, without realizing there was a page break option available.

I already took the MOS Exam-Microsoft Word. What I did to prepare was redo the live projects and the practice exams multiple times.

Starting My Blog

Hello everyone, my name is Viviana Borroel. I'm born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. I am currently a student at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) pursing a Forensic Cybersecurity Degree.

My first impression of the IS101 course has been positive. I had never experienced a professor reach out to students prior to the classes starting, so at first it seemed strange to me, but in a good way. Despite the fact that the course is quite demanding, the professor has made it very organized and straightforward to ensure each and everyone of his students have all the tools they need to succeed.

For Discussion 2 Part 2, I chose 1.3.12 Outlook Facts. I chose this topic because it's something some of us use on a daily basis. Outlook does a lot more than just send/receive emails. It has features for creating contacts, auto response messages, tracking notes and tasks, etc.
