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.
Yes, it is easy to fall behind but one can always catch up, Brittney :-)
ReplyDeleteFont tips definitely contribute to making documents professional and visually appealing ^_^
Practice leads to mastery. You will conquer the MO-110 Word exam!
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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
Hello Brittney. It is easy to fall behind, I also need to prioritize my study time better as well. Fonts are really interesting, it's fun to test them out just to see what it looks like, there are so many of them. I'm sure you'll continue progressing well in the rest of IS101.
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney! I think you did a great job reflecting on your progress in Phase 1. It’s true that it’s easy to fall behind if we’re not consistent, especially with LabSims. I can relate to that, and I’m also trying to manage my time better and stay ahead on assignments.
ReplyDeleteHey Brittney! This class can definitely be overlooked and easy to fall behind if you don't stay informed. I totally agree I came across that same issue and also plan to prepare ahead and be ahead.
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney, yes falling behind in this class can definitely be a heavy load to carry, especially when finals are coming up. I agree, fonts are important, it can make everything look more professional and easy to read depending of the type of style or font used. I learned that lesson doing the A6 assignment. Have a great rest of the semester!
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney. I agree with how easy it is to fall behind in class. However, making that mistake encourages you for ways to not make the same mistake again. What do you think is taking the most amount of time from your IS101 coursework?
ReplyDeleteHey Brittney, I agree that fonts make a huge difference, when we got to practice making flyers that was so helpful in learning how visuals make a huge impact. I fell behind slightly and it can feel like swimming upstream in a fast-moving stream. One thing that helps me not fall behind is using a pomelo timer to keep myself more productive during study time.
ReplyDeleteHello Brittney, time management has been truly one of the most important parts of being successful.
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney, Font types are definitely overlooked a lot on the feeling they can give the reader. Staying ahead is hard but it definitely gives a slight ease in mind whenever we do start falling behind.
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney! I have also learned the importance of balancing a busy schedule, its comforting seeing other people conquer it!
ReplyDeleteI wish you, Brittney, the best luck and I hope you find the time you need to achieve your goals.
ReplyDeleteHI Brittney, you are doing great so far! Font does make a difference in how professional a document looks.
ReplyDeleteHi, Brittney, yes, I agree with prioritizing time better. Having good time management can make us focus more and be more consisting on our work. Also, help us understand more and practice more to be prepared for quizzes, assignment and, etc.
ReplyDeleteTime management is crucial with this course and it made me learn it forcefully. While I was late on some assignments, I still manage to pull a good grade on the MOS exam. You should be proud of the progress as moving forward creates more opportunity for yourself and self satisfaction when achieving goals.
ReplyDeleteI liked how simple and straight to the point your post was. The part about balancing a busy schedule while staying consistent is really relatable. Also, font choices honestly do make a big difference in how professional a document looks.
ReplyDeleteThis design was cool and sleek the pink was a nice touch and hope that we can both manage time better!
ReplyDeleteHi Brittney, I liked your honest reflection on consistency and how you’re planning to improve your study habits going forward.
ReplyDeleteLearning how important time management and consistency are to reaching your goals are already little stepping stone goals on their own! It's alright to take things one step at a time, and for someone as busy as you are with job and life in general, it's inspiring to see you try your best!
ReplyDeleteHello Brittney. I like your blog theme, it looks very clean! I'm glad you're seeing progress from the course!
