Honestly, in the beginning of Phase 2, I was breezing through the course and once I hit the section for the more advanced functions in Excel, that's where my progress slowed down since the material was harder to understand and memorize for me. It was also frustrating when I knew how to do a task, but LabSim wanted it done a certain way. But overall, I still enjoyed learning something new and improving my skills in Excel. URL Components and Social Engineering was entertaining to be able identify as well as be cautious of certain links and be able to break them down. For A6 Spreadsheet Analysis with Trailer assignment reminded me of math because if a single function or reference is not inputted correctly, the whole data could be wrong.
For Discussion 5 Part 2, I chose 5.3.1 Deleting and Clearing Cells. I chose this topic because it helps us correct our mistakes by removing data. You can eliminate cells completely, erase their contents, or clear formatting.
Outside of class, I can apply what I've learned in multiple things such as managing my personal expenses, track investments and savings, or even organize data for my IT job.
For Phase 3, I want to repeat the same pace I had in Phase 1. The reason for this is because I want to push myself to improve my skills and take advantage of every opportunity the class has to offer so I can hopefully start working on getting my expert certifications for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
