Honestly, I enjoyed IS101-3205 and Professor Wu, even though I sometimes felt overwhelmed with certain assignments and discussions. I kept pushing forward because I knew that if I started slacking off, it would have cost me much more of a headache trying to catch up than just maintaining a steady pace of trying to do things a little ahead of schedule. One thing I will say is that everything you learn in that class is for a reason, and I encourage every student to come in early and do the bonus quizzes because the knowledge you get from those quizzes is valuable. For example, getting to class at 7 a.m. is a test of discipline and willpower, plus you have nothing to lose by getting bonus points.
I sincerely enjoyed watching almost everyone do a slideshow presentation. This alone made the class more interesting! Especially seeing the draft and polished version was an eye-opener. Professor Wu is tremendously helpful and dedicated to his students, and it shows. Thus far, I can proudly say this has been one of my favorite courses, and I am happy to have chosen an in-person class and to have the instructor be Professor Wu.
I gained a lot of digital literacy from this course, from understanding how Search Engine Optimization (SEO) works to dissecting a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and most importantly, I learned about different scamming methods to be aware of. I can confidently say that I now know more than I did when starting this course.
6.7.6 Table and Chart Formatting Tips was one of my favorite topics due to just recently acquiring those skills from Phase 2 in Excel. So, being able to use tables and charts in PowerPoint was exciting and very familiar, and another fundamental skill I learned as well was to either make the table or chart embedded or linked to PowerPoint. I have yet to use this skill, but when I do, it will be incredibly handy when having to use statistics to sell or convince an audience.
