Final Essay: Evaluation

I studied Excel in high school but I did learn a tremendous amount of new things about Excel 2007 in this class. First, it started with the shortcuts in Excel, then formulas, lookup and database formulas, macros,… I have written on my blog every week what I learnt in Excel. I feel that I have become very familiar with Excel; I don’t have to think too much when I do something in Excel. I liked very much our textbook. It had a lot of useful tools like a retirement calculator for example and many more things. I also liked the CaseGrader because then you can actually see what you are able to do when a case is given to you. I used Excel to set up my academic schedule for next semester. It gave me a good view of what classes are when and if I can take them. I am sure that Excel will also help me in the future, maybe even in the near future like a summer internship. What stands out to me in htis class is that everyone was following with when we were demonstrating something in class. There was a nice collaborative work from everyone and this is thanks to the professor who prepared every class beforehand in an interesting, entertaining, and educational way. I really wanted to join this class because I wanted to master Excel. That is also the reason why I have put a lot of effort in this class. I did all 8 cases and read the textbook. It was an amazing class and I want to thank Professor Jorish for making it the best and most interesting class in YU.
