    I like to learn to be more efficient in searching the web, especially for research topics. I'd like to improve my skills in using more advanced data analysis tools in Excel.

    More work w/ spreadsheets to get a better idea on how to insert detailed formulas. Power point presentations- I have no experience w/ creating web pages (only if necessary). I have used dreamweaver to make a website before, but that's it. 
    I would like to review/learn how to insert and modify figures, images, and tables in Word; use different features of PowerPoint; create Spreadsheets and use features in Excel; create my own Web page (which I have never done before); and upload recorded lectures and deal with sound files in general.

    To manipulate spreadsheets with more ease 
    I would love to learn more about website development as well as more difficult applications of Excel or spreadsheets.

    Power Point 
    I'd like to improve my use of spreadsheets and web design. 
    I would like to be more proficient in using all Microsoft programs, especially Excel and PowerPoint (each as a whole). I would also like to learn how to better utilize rows, columns, pictures, charts, etc in Word documents. 
    How to make graphs and use functions and formulas on spreadsheets. Also would love to know how to freate a web page. 
    I would like to learn how to better search the web in a fashion that does not waist time and energy.

    more in-depth use of excel, esp. for advanced stats; more web page design; how to use a apple/mac's operating system; about virus detection/elimination, debugging computers

    I think it's nice for instructors to have course info online, but should still teach the material in class as well. 
    For the CVM to incorporate more technology into students' learning, improved email service is necessary. The current CVM email lacks features and has too small of an amount of available space available. Such improvements could greatly modernize and improve education for students.
