Bus91L class

At our University, a Microsoft Lab is offered and in some cases required. This Lab class is worth 1 unit, and it goes on for about 1 month of the semester. While it lasts the normal class length of one hour and fifteen minutes, it seems shorter because I think it is very interesting and fun at times. This class teaches you the basics of Powerpoint and Word, and goes in detail of Excel. These are very important programs that business majors need to know, and that is why the class is required for business management and accounting majors, and other majors in business. I think it is extremely essential for all of us in business, and I encrourage all of you to take this class. It teaches great skills in Excel like VLOOKUP where one can create tables and graphs that make it so, so easy to compare data. Businesses use this program a lot, and it is good to know it well. Businesses also use Powerpoint to present to the company, and this class goes into much detail about Powerpoint. We all know a good amount about Microsoft Word, however, this course will teach you just a little bit more than the average student would know about Word. I just recently passed the class ith 100.2%, as extra credit is usually offered. I have learned so much in that class, and now I feel like I can go into a company and have Excel and the other programs down to a science. I feel very confident when using Excel, and would be very qualified to complete tasks in Excel to show trends, and other types of recorded data that a company might be interested in. So I encourage all to take the class.

JOb Fair

Hello,

I wanted to speak a little bit on the Job Fair. For those of you who do not know, I was told that the Job Fair at school is on Wednesday, March 7. I am assuming it will start around 10 or 11 a.m., and go until around 3 p.m. or so. I have heard that while it is a fun experience, it is a very serious event. I was even thinking of wearing some sort of shirt and tie or something nice, as I have heard they set up interviews if need be. I think this is a great opportunity for us, because companies are actually knocking at our door, so there is no excuse to not check it out. It is probably right around the business tower where there is a lot of space. I am definitely going, and if you see this blog, then I think you should go too. It is a great opportunity to get an internship, leading up to a good job involving what your major entails. I know someone who has gotten an interview that day of the event, so make sure you dress nice. That is all, hope all of you go.

Las Vegas and WEbCT

This weekend, a classmate, Clayton, and I went with a few others to las VEgas for our 21st birthdays. First off it was extremely fun and it was a great feeling to finally be 21. We all brought homework on the trip, os we knew that we would have to take a little bit of time during one of the days and do homework for a few hours. Clayton had to submit this first blog revision by Thursday night, yet he was in Vegas. The point of my blog is that WEBCT is genius. We are 100s of miles away, yet we can still turn in our homework that is due. I had an essay due Monday, and I will wait to submit it on Monay, but it would definitely feel good to turn it in quicker over WEBCT. So my point is that WEBCT is a great invention for submitting homework, and I think that more teachers should use it. I would not be surprised if in 2 years, every teacher would be using it. It is a great tool for college universities. WEBCT is the future of homework and I am excited to be part of it.
