Transition to phase 2

For Phase 1 of IS101-3003/5, I feel like it wasn’t my best work or effort. At the beginning, I was keeping up, but after a few weeks I started to feel overwhelmed with all the discussion assignments. If I could do it differently, I would try to stay ahead and use lab time more effectively so I can focus better and complete each part to the best of my ability. To prepare for the MO-110 Word certification exam, I completed the lab simulations and made sure to go back and redo the areas I didn’t feel confident in until I understood them well enough to move on.

For Discussion 4, I chose 4.9.4 Word Themes & Style Facts. There are many style features in Microsoft Word, like no spacing, heading styles, and theme changes, all of which affect how a document looks. For example, using the no spacing style removes extra space between paragraphs, making the document look cleaner and more organized. Word also offers different formatting and style options that allow you to quickly change colors and fonts without redoing everything. These features are useful whether you’re working on an essay, creating something like a birthday card, or even organizing a calendar. Overall, these tools help make documents more visually appealing and easier to manage.

Your Output Tells the Story

Hello my name is Fatima, I'm currently studying for the Associates of Business at the College of Southern Nevada. I took a leap year right after high school to figure out what I wanted to study. My first impression of IS101 is that there's a lot of skills that are useful in everyday life especially if you're working in an office job. There's not a lot of people who know how to use Microsoft software, it's a skill that can benefit me and can help me stand out in the workforce.

For Discussion 2 Part 2, I chose 2.5.11 Window User Account, it lets different people use the same computer while keeping their own files, settings and privacy. Each user signs in with their own account and password. People on a daily basis use the same computer. For example, the CSN library provides computers to students who need access to their assignments,  student center, etc... It makes it more efficient.

Overall, I'm excited to learn more about Microsoft and use these skills in my day to day life.
