Excel

I learned a lot using Microsoft Excel in this class; I had very limited knowledge of it beforehand because I hardly ever used it. I didn't know how to create formulas, format cells/charts, or link excel documents to other types of Word documents. All of the new formatting styles in Excel are also pretty nice to have if you want to polish your document and make it look more attractive.

Now that I have learned so much from this class, I am much more confident with this program and I'm sure that I'll be able to use it more effectively for future classes and/or jobs, internships, etc. It's important to have these skills in Excel because so many businesses and schools use this program regularly to keep records, show statistics, and plan events, among other purposes. Not only will Excel help students like myself with their homework, but it can also serve as a resume builder and help set you apart from job applicants who don't have extensive knowledge of how to use the program. Aside from creating spreadsheets, the ability to link Excel with other documents is a big advantage. This can help with creating better, more professional presentations in an academic or business setting.
