Another strategies is to use one or more search engines to find a solution to an issue. To get started on using the help function in Microsoft Word, press the F1 key and ‘word help’ will appear. There are a couple of options to using word help. If a user is connected to the internet, then use the online search function, if they are not, then use the help function from the computer. A user can switch from each one using the drop down arrow next to the words ‘word help’. Teaching a customer how to use the word help function is a great opportunity to educate them on Word 2013 options to get more Word training. An example is ‘key shortcuts’ and ‘learn word basics’ Microsoft Excel Summary: Microsoft Excel is an electronic spreadsheet program that is used to perform numeric calculations and to analyze and present numeric data.

...CO 80309 (Dated: March 4, 2014) In response to national calls to better align physics laboratory courses with the way physicists engage in research, we have developed an epistemology and expectations survey to assess how students perceive the nature of physics experiments in the contexts of laboratory courses and the professional research laboratory. The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS) evaluates students’ shifts in epistemology and affect at the beginning and end of a semester. Also, at the end of the semester, the E-CLASS assesses students’ reflections on their course’s expectations for earning a good grade. By basing survey statements on widely embraced learning goals and common critiques of teaching labs, the E-CLASS serves as an assessment tool for lab courses across the undergraduate curriculum and as a tool for PER research. We present the development, evidence of validation, and initial formative assessment results from a sample that includes 45 classes at 20 institutions. We also discuss feedback from instructors and reflect on the challenges of large-scale online administration and distribution of results. I. INTRODUCTION Laboratory courses offer significant opportunities for engagement in the practices and core ideas of science. Laboratory course environments typically have apparatus, flexible classroom arrangements, low student/teacher ratios, and opportunities for collaborative work that promote students’ engagement...

...has set for himself or herself, he or she must first have an internally defined level of personal responsibility. To that end, becoming a master student starts with taking control of ones’ own life. Such control includes becoming fiscally responsible as well as demonstrating emotional maturity. There are two ways to do this, planning and organizing. While some people may find it easy to plan and organize their task, others do not so it may require more work. One has to learn how to be prepared in your studies by setting goals, understanding what your learning style may be, highlighting and underlining your readings and notes; Time management as far as your readings and taking time to understand your studies, and using your critical thinking skills along with communicating your thoughts both verbally and in writing. Goal Setting and Time Management One of the many things we have learned during our introductory course into online school while attending the University of Phoenix is the importance of setting goals, prioritizing them, and the importance of time management. By setting goals it allows students to choose where they want to go in school and what they want to achieve and goal setting gives students long-term vision and short-term motivation. Knowing what they want to achieve, they know what they have to concentrate on and improve while being in school. Students also improve their academic performance, it increase their motivation to...

...The Art of Learning Online versus On-Campus Kathryn Berry Everest University ENC1101-48 In my essay I will discuss the differences in what is expected of a student enrolled in an online course and a traditional student, how every person learns in a different way, and therefore would more actively learn in a certain environment, finances, schedule, and I will briefly discuss the job market for graduates. For me, online learning is an easier way for me to accomplish my educational goals because of my personal obligations. There are many aspects to consider when comparing on-campus learning and online learning. According to a paper entitled “Traditional vs. Online Degrees,” “To compare an online student to a traditional student is like trying to compare apples and oranges” (Sakurai, 2002) . A traditional student has a teacher in front of him/her lecturing, answering questions, and encouraging him/her. An online student receives weekly assignments. Included, are the literature, PowerPoint presentations, and or videos about what they are learning, then a list of homework to get done. In order for online students to get help, they have to write an email or call their instructor on the one day they are available. Because of these differences, it seems that online education would be more difficult, but that is not always the case. A student who has a hard time focusing on homework would not be well suited for an online education because all of the work is done at home. Unfortunately...

...students learning in the same classroom has the added benefit of allowing students to exchange ideas and questions with one another providing another valuable learning medium that online environments cannot replicate. First-hand interaction with the educating professor also allows for ideas to be exchanged freely and without any communication barriers. 2. Improve social skills. 3. Offer one-on-one support from teachers. 4. Presence of a Teacher: A teacher can guide the students well. He/she can help them understand difficult concepts, and thereby develop efficient studying techniques. This is the biggest advantage of classroom learning. 5.

...Online education VS Traditional Education Asia Clarke COM/155 March 25, 2012 Online education VS Traditional Education In this present day with the technology that exists there are more options to obtain a higher education. Both online and traditional colleges have their advantages and disadvantages. Deciding on which style fits depends on the students’ needs. This will be brought to attention in this essay. It seems in the present day more students are looking for a more convenient way to acquire an education. They are achieving degrees online compared to attending traditional colleges. Online education is becoming more popular than traditional education. Online education gives more freedom to allow individuals to return to school and to work a full time job at the same time. This gives students the chance to receive higher education while taking care of their responsibilities in everyday life. Overall, it is clear that online enrollments nationally have experienced very large growth during the past decade, and evidence points that this growth will continue in the next few years. With online education, universities can reach vast distances. In return students can attend creditable schools and receive creditable degrees from rural areas. Online offerings are becoming very attractive to full-time employees who want to further their careers – or start new ones - through more education. Colleges benefit by expanding their faculty to include qualified...
