Reflection

Overall, my experience in IS101 for the Fall 2025 semester was one of much value. Not only did I learn more practical ways of formatting a word document, which now I use Word more than Google Docs because of the familiarity I achieved with Word, but also I learned how to use Excel to a respectable degree.

I would say that I gained perspective from my peers and instructor this semester. Being the youngest in the class, everyone had so much experience over me in the workplace/work environment. Therefore, I was able to hear countless different perspectives. Mr. Wu definitely taught me many things, but most importantly, Mr. Wu taught me that in the workplace employers will not coddle you.

I chose to do "6.4.3 Slide Design Facts". I would say that I have trouble expressing creativity digitally. I am a very practical sort of creative mind; I am an artist. However, due to this chapter I was able improve my designs using PowerPoint. I use what I learned in this chapter now by adding simple yet visually appealing changes that I otherwise would not have done.

  1. You now use Microsoft Word more than Google Docs because you are more familiar with Word and learned how to use Excel to a respectable degree? And you improved your designs using PowerPoint to boot? Microsoft Office Trifecta ^_^

    Yes, workplace employers will not coddle anyone!

    You may be the youngest student in IS101-3210, Fall 2025, but you are one of the brightest star this semester, A'marian :-)
