Course Subject Information Processing
Last Update May 2014 and March 2014
Rationale I am including the college course Information Processing
which includes Excel and Microsoft applications because we
spent a lot of time using Excel making spreadsheets and
formulas. Microsoft is an application we used almost every
day for writing papers or just simply using its spell check. As
the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) secretary I
was in charge of editing and updating the data base. I am
including this because I got to go on the edit mode of a
website and make changes or fix items that needed to be done
in the back ground.
Knowledge

From being part of the Information Processing class I learned
a lot that I did not previously know such as in Excel you can
make a formula and expand it to more than one column and it
will continuously do that same equation. Working in
Microsoft word I learned that you can actually do more than
just write papers. You can make posters, a document with
different page layout, make a heading, and even learned how
to make a table of contents. Doing the FBLA data base I was
able to learn how to go behind the sense and edit a web page.
I learned how to add an event and change names of event
within the data base. From the data base I also learned you
need to constantly check the published version to make sure it
is changing.
Skills I developed and used a lot of skills through working on these
projects. Using Excel I developed the skill to make formulas
and spreadsheets well making the organized. In Microsoft
word I gained the skill to not just write papers but create
posters or even a table of contents. I also utilized the skill of
typing papers in a clean and organized format throughout my
time of using Microsoft word. From the FBLA data base the
skills I used was the skills of seeing mistakes or editing
mistakes that were made. I developed the skill of knowing
how to edit a data base and you need to always double check
your edits because it makes not have correctly changed.
Growth and Improvement
Statement

I plan on growing in using Excel and Microsoft applications
mostly word. Excel I believe I could have improved in using
more formulas because we are getting a college credit for
working in it. In Microsoft word I believe I could have
improved in learning more items you can use in the program
even though I learned a lot I had to ask for a lot of help on
items that if I had the patience to figure out I could. Working
in the data base I think I could grow in how to edit is and
make it go faster because it took a lot of time to do the
editing.
