How to better perform specialized functions in Microsoft Excel.
|
| |
Oh, instead of learning new skills, I would prefer to be able to continue to eke by with the skills I have. Does that mean I'm getting old?
|
| |
More about excel and learning to use it more efficiently.
|
| |
I think that I've learned most of all the basics. I wouldn't mind learning more in publisher, but that doesn't really pertain to much school work.
|
| |
How to utilize excell more and how to create my own webpage. I have done both before, but some time ago and need a refresher.
|
| |
How to run a website, and how to create spreadsheets in formulas without having to be told how to write
the formulas everytime.
|
| |
Using and designing relational databases in programs like Microsoft Access or FileMaker Pro.

|
| |
How to get all the information without ever using a computer. (Does that count?)
|
| |
Web design
More mechanics - taking apart computer and putting it back together
|
| |
Excel--how to better organize data, sort it, and be able to actually make it work for you. I have used some functions and formulas, but not very often. I feel that a strong understanding in how to use excel, especially when analyzing data, compiling lists, etc. is vital.
|
| |
More web page creation, more difficult spreadsheet uses.
|
| |
I would like to learn more about using spreadsheets and statistics programs. I would love to learn more html and java script, and how to use css to make websites.
|
| |
I would like to become more knowledgeable about how to fix any problems that come with working computers (ie-viruses).
|
| |
I have no idea how to create a web page, so that would probably be a good one to learn.
|
| |
How to set up an in-home secure network.
|
| |
I would like to improve my skills in the areas that are not marked excellent above. Although I feel I am proficient in all major computer programs, there is always something else that may be learned.

I use my computer in class to take notes for the most part and like to be given power point presentations before class so that I may listen and take notes as needed. I think the computer is an excellent resource, but at the same time, I do not want my teacher to be taken over by a computer. I like in class learning with the help of technology. I have taken 2 online courses, and it is just not the same as attending class.
|
| |
I probably will get a new laptop for school that is capable of dual boot with windows/macosx, and I will
probably have an iphone to combine a lot of my electronics.
|
| |
I really would like to have lots of course information online, but I also think that it is very important to have as much hands on in class experience as possible.
