Completing phase one of IS101.

PHASE 1

I think I did well overall in phase one of IS101–3003, but I could’ve kept up more consistently with my lab Sims. And future phases, I plan to prioritize my study time better, stay ahead on assignments, and focus more on reviewing and learning from the bonus quizzes to strengthen my understanding. I realized how easily it is to fall behind.

I chose 4.3.6 Font Tips because I think understanding fonts is important for creating professional and visually appealing documents. To prepare for the upcoming MO–110 word certification exam, I am going to practice my lab Sims more consistently and review key concepts so I feel confident using all the tools in word.

Overall, I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, and as someone who balances a busy schedule, I’m learning how important time management and consistency are to reaching my goals.

  1. Yes, it is easy to fall behind but one can always catch up, Brittney :-)

    Font tips definitely contribute to making documents professional and visually appealing ^_^

    Practice leads to mastery. You will conquer the MO-110 Word exam!

  2. Hi Brittney, I can relate to what you said about how easy it is to fall behind with LabSim. In my case, I actually did the opposite. Sometimes I pushed myself until 1 a.m., 2 a.m., even 3 a.m. just to finish an entire chapter in one sitting. I think that habit came from my nursing courses before where they expected us to read three or four chapters in a day and be ready to discuss it the next day. It trains you to cram a lot of material quickly.

    That said, I honestly don’t recommend doing it that way. If someone just does smaller sections like 5.1 or 5.2 in Excel each day, they could probably finish the whole chapter within a week without exhausting themselves. The problem is when you have work or other responsibilities, you end up cramming everything into the little free time you have. Then you’re forced to choose between sacrificing sleep or sacrificing work time. Balancing everything is really the hard part of staying consistent.
