IT133 is a great course to take if you are not familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint or if you just need to sharpen your skills with these programs. I am personally glad to have taken the course right as I entered into school so I can use the things I’ve learned in my future courses.

Microsoft Word has given me the ability to write papers for school efficiently and I learned how to get the most out of the program through all the different features and the use of the ribbon. I can now effectively add tables and hyperlinks or even clipart. I will definitely use this program all the way through school and I am more than certain that after school I will use Word in the workplace. Word is such a widely used program and there are so many different reasons people need to construct documents.

Microsoft Excel was a program that I was not looking forward to studying at all. I have never been good at math and numbers have always just given me a headache. Surprisingly after learning formulas for Excel and the ease the program gives you when dealing with numbers and keeping extensive records, I actually really like the program now. I like being able to keep a budget and really being able to track my spending and see really see where my money is going. I plan to continue to use Excel for keeping a budget after this class is over. I will use this program after school as well since I plan on starting my own business. I know Excel will help me in many aspects of my business.

PowerPoint has always been a fun program for me to play with. I first started using it back in high school. Ever since then I have enjoyed using it as a tool to present information in a fun and attention catching manner. I plan to use it as frequently as possible in school to present information for projects when it is allowed. After school in the business world it will be very useful in
