I am happy to report that I finished Phase 1 of my IS101 course even earlier than I planned. However, I noticed that I was rushing just to get it done, so I didn't feel very connected to what I was learning. In the future, I want to change my approach by being more involved in the lessons. My goal is to slow down and really understand the information instead of just checking items off my to-do list.
One of the most helpful parts of the course so far was the lesson "4.5.3 Tab Stops." To be honest, this lesson changed everything for me. In the past, whenever I wanted to align text in different columns, I would create a Table and then hide the borders. It took a long time and was hard to change later. Now that I understand how to use Tab Stops, I can align my text perfectly with just one click. It makes my documents look much cleaner and more professional.
The lesson on "4.5.3 Tab Stops" was a total gamechanger for me. I used to waste a lot of time building tables just to align my text, but now I know how to do it correctly and much faster using tabs. This practice is actually how I passed my MO-110 Word certification exam. Since I stayed consistent and completed all my regular assignments on time, I was already prepared for the test and didn't need any last-minute studying.

Excellent choice of focusing on really understanding the information instead of just checking items off your to-do list, Josias!
ReplyDeleteEven better action of changing your approach by becoming more involved in the lessons :-)
A table is a much more universal feature than tab stops. In Microsoft Word, tab stops are much easier to use but will not translate to outside of Microsoft Word cleanly where as a table will. Glad to hear learning to tab stops was a gamechanger for you ^_^
Hi Josias, congratulations on finishing Phase 1 earlier than planned and also passing the MO-110 exam. That’s honestly impressive. I can also relate to what you said about rushing through the work just to finish it. Sometimes when you move too fast, you realize later that you didn’t really absorb everything from the lesson. I think slowing down and trying to understand the material more deeply is a good plan moving forward.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think I still need to review the tab stops lesson again because I don’t fully get it in some parts, especially when it comes to aligning things into columns. Even when I make something like a table of contents, I still use the lazy method where I just press a lot of periods or underscores to push the text across the page. It works visually, but the formatting is not really clean or professional. I know tab stops are supposed to fix that, but I think I need more practice before it really clicks for me. Hopefully with more repetition it will start making sense.
