IS101 Class Update

With weeks of classes behind us by this point, phase 1 of class wasn't too hard. I definitely slacked a little in getting things done in advance, I completely overlooked some of these assignments (hence the late second post, sorry Prof. Wu). I definitely need to keep my eyes peeled for future assignments and do them in a timely manner.

I chose to talk about 4.2.5 Text Importing from LabSim. I never knew importing text from sources I use for essays could be done so with a few clicks. I never thought copying and pasting text was hard but knowing Microsoft Office offers a way to do so without copy and pasting is really eye-opening. Since I'm typing this late, a similar feature to this in Excel is the data importing feature which was also very cool to see that you don't need to manually type or copy and paste data into each individual cell.

I prepared for the MO-110 Word certification exam with the "study guide" provided by LabSim and it worked out great. The format of the test was more updated than the practice which caught me by surprise but other than that, not too bad overall.

  1. Hi Thomas, I like how you were honest about missing some assignments because that happens more often than people admit, especially when everything starts piling up. The part about importing text from LabSim was actually interesting because I didn’t realize how much time that could save compared to copying and pasting everything manually. Your approach to preparing for the exam using the study guide makes sense too, even if the actual test format surprised you a bit. I think it shows you have a solid system, you just need to adjust for those unexpected parts.

    Also, I enjoyed your presentation about tennis, it was actually more interesting than I expected. Thank you for sharing your favorite players too because it kind of shows what you value and what kind of player you look up to. The scoring system in tennis is honestly still confusing to me, but it was interesting hearing it explained again. I don’t really like sports or running, but I remember playing Super Tennis on the SNES when I was really young, and that’s probably the only reason I even recognize the scoring system at all. It’s funny how something from childhood sticks more than actual lessons sometimes.

  2. Glad to hear Phase 1 of IS101 wasn't too hard and you will keep your eyes peeled for future assignments and do them in a timely manner, Thomas :-)

    Indeed, LabSim's "study guide" are helpful, evident by you earning the third highest score on MO-110 Word exam!

    Yes, there is more than copy and pasting to put content into your document or spreadsheet ^_^
