Part 3 from me Woot woot here's the topics I will discuss today, Phase II, chapter 5 and what's next to come...
1. Holy moly microsoft excel.. what can I say it was extremely exhausting yet fun to learn, I actually use this at work and I gotta say it became so much easier now at work knowing the formulas (sort of) I was able to be very useful no extremely useful at work now. The fact I learn something that can help me in daily life is super cool. Enough said I honestly think I performed extremely well but my weaknesses was formulas there was so many to remember and during the exam it was the main reason I didn't get a hundred percent on the exam. But throughout the phase it went extremely well and i enjoyed every moment of it. now for A6 assignment it was an interesting one given though I am use to being so creative, I had to act professional which is very tough in my end given I have absolute no experience of doing professional projects I just make numbers for my company haha. It took sometime but i would be lying saying it was easy I had my professor help me out i even stayed after just to conquer and get it done due to having a time limit that day. In the end it was completed and the final result was very pleasing to see how professional done it was.
2. 5.2.2... OMG when I say this helped a lot in at my job it helps alot!! I work in a company that uses excel alot!! And when I learned this it was super useful to manage my spreadsheets for each part of my job. I have numbers to write down, Data to put and many other things but I need to put a weekly report of all the data I collect and wrote down that current week its extremely frustrating when I had to constantly make new spreadsheets over and over again. OH did i mention we learned to put more data into a spreadsheet into another spreadsheet file !? OMG what a feature to learn ever since then i had improved my work and be more efficient with my data due to this lesson.
3. Its like what I said in my other paragraphs. Phase II will help me at work alot but it will also help me as a gamer building my setups haha since data can be automatically calculated base on numbers and information you put on excel. In my games they have numbers and analyzing which armor or stats can be somewhat annoying. But with excel this will make it fun especially testing new loadouts to see how much damage I can do. The fact I can finally figure out the numbers when it comes to stats saying it will 2.3% of damage IS A BLESSING holy moly that can be so annoying. But in all honestly I have been doing this in my games while using excel analyzing and putting records of my data on there super handy for a gamer like me that plays mmo and games that require building stats.
4. AHAHA this was extremely funny as I am typing this on may so honestly sadly no. Due to work being such a hassle past few months it was super hard to keep up. I mostly had one day to achieve and finish my work, I also used my couple of hours after work to finish but being so tired was extremely annoying since my brain wasn't fully working so most of the time I stayed after class working as that was my only day off to fully work on assignments even at this very moment typing this blog, i'm currently in class right now. Its really rough out here haha. But it was extremely fun doing phase 3 although it was very short I did that phase in the spam of 2 days. Imagine I had this amount of time today with the other days. *sigh*
Hi Manuel, yeah, Excel was honestly difficult for me too, and I still feel like I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate level because there are still many functions that confuse me. At work I mostly use Word and PowerPoint, so learning all the Excel logic, especially IF functions, really forced me to think differently. My normal method is honestly just grabbing a pen, writing numbers down on paper, and using a calculator, so trying to make Excel “think” for me feels unnatural sometimes.
ReplyDeleteEven after this class ends, I know I still need more practice because I can already tell Excel is something that will be important in actual office work. Sometimes I feel like the hardest part is not the formulas themselves, but understanding the logic behind why Excel wants things done in a very specific way.
Holy moly Microsoft Excel!
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear that you are apply what you learned in IS101 to your workplace and even gaming :-)
Time is a precious commodity. How you spend this finite resource is the first step in determining your success or failure ^_^
Hi Manuel. I can relate to how tough that Phase 2 was. We had a lot of formulas to memorize, as well as their arguments. However, it’s great that you are using what you learned in Excel for your job. What formulas do often use when you work?
ReplyDeleteHey Manuel, I totally get it when it comes to excel it was a difficult portion to learn but very beneficial. Like you I expect to be working with excel in the near-future and seeing how it already has been a great help for you at your job makes me feel great to know I've learned what I learned to apply it later on.
ReplyDeleteHi Manuel, I like how you actually started using Excel at work while learning it in class because that probably made everything stick way more. And honestly using Excel to compare game stats and builds is such a gamer way to apply the skills but it actually makes sense.
ReplyDeleteHey Manuel, Excel was a fun challenge for me too. Glad you're putting the work in to get through it. I completely understand the frustration of not being able to use your brain to the fullest because of tiredness.
ReplyDeleteHello Manuel, it's awesome to see how much Excel has already helped you out in your job. Although, I was the exact same as you those formulas really threw me off but I feel like Fun with Functions helped a lot.
ReplyDeleteHi Manuel. The formulas are pretty confusing sometimes. I struggle with not really knowing what formula to use for different situations sometimes. I'm glad that some of the lessons helped you with your job, it must be satisfying to be able to apply what you learned. I never thought any of these assignments would help with gaming.
ReplyDeleteHey Manuel, It's good to hear that you did hw and assignments when you could, if you are busy, i'm glad that you had time to tell us about work.
ReplyDeleteExcel is such a hassle to learn but very informative once you get it! Getting through everything plus this blog post is something to be proud of! You might be tired but you are pushing through this semester like a champ, feel good about it!
ReplyDeleteHi Manuel, I like how you connected Excel to both work and gaming, that’s honestly a pretty cool way to use it outside of class. Also I get you on the formulas part… there are way too many to remember. It’s impressive that you still managed to push through even while being tired from work.
ReplyDeleteHi Manuel, I’m really glad you get to apply everything we learned in Excel at your job. I know it probably felt exhausting at times, but I bet it feels really rewarding now that you can see how useful those skills are in real life.
ReplyDeleteHi Manuel! Work needs to cut you some slack lol! I understand how frustrating it is working so much and knowing you have homework after but not being able to function good enough to do it lol! Good on you for staying after class to complete your assignments!
ReplyDeleteHey Manuel, glad that Excel made work easier for you and that you can use it for gaming! It's definitely a privilege to have the opportunity to learn something practical and useful for multiple scenarios. I agree, the workload can be very exhausting especially when we've got a lot of things going on in our lives, but eventually we managed to pushed through and conquer it. Good job and keep up the hard work!

ReplyDeleteHi Manuel, it's good that you can pinpoint areas of improvement, that way you also understand where your strengths are. How are your stats? It's really difficult when you don't have a lot of free time to get things done but at least you caught up last minute. Are the games distracting?
ReplyDeleteHello Manuel. I'm glad you really enjoyed this phase. Applying your Excel knowledge to gaming is smart! I was also thinking of ways I could use it for my hobbies!
