Phase 2 was a bit more interesting and exciting than I thought. There were a great number of times when I had to use my critical thinking more often than in phase one. Now looking back, Phase 1 was a cakewalk compared to this, especially the Bonus Quizzes. Now, assignments A4 Fun with Functions, A5 More Fun with Functions, and A6 Spreadsheet Analysis with Trailer are great practice that make you use your brain. From those 3 assignments, I can proudly say they helped me understand the Excel program better by making me use the correct formulas and by giving me a scenario like the one in A6, which helped when taking my MO-210 Excel certification exam.
5.7.5 Logical Functions stood out the most for me because at first logical functions seemed hard to understand due to the function having a range, criteria, and sum range that just confused the living hell out of me, but after a few practices I did understand how to use the IF function, and it became a no-brainer to solve problems that required an IF.
To be honest, in my work, I don’t use Excel, but I know that what I’ve learned in Phase 2 will not be forgotten because of how involved I felt with Excel. Hopefully, soon I will get a job where I can use these skills, or maybe another course that requires these skills.
I will make some extra time to be able to be creative and in Phase 3, as well as start actualizing. Yes, I will try to get the highest score I can within the last weeks of this course. So far, I’ve done good, so I should be able to manage.
