I do plan on transferring to another school. I am looking at Becker. My major would be business.
2) Past experience: I do have experience with Word. I have recently purchased 2007. I look forward to getting more comfortable with this version. I have used powerpoint, Publisher, excel. I never really used excel to develop spreadsheets but only to use them.
I am currently using 2007 version for microsoft office products.
I use Word for documents, labels, calendars. I use publisher for marketing materials. This would be for flyers, brochures, newsletters.
Most of my marketing materials is for my business. Word documents are mainly used for school and work.
I have taken programming courses and a media class. I enjoyed the media class. In this class we used Adobe and concentrated on development of marketing materials.
I have never used Access.
I am taking this course per requirement. However, I really look forward to learning more about each of the applications. There are changes with 2007 that I haven’t used and I get by through trial and error.

-Although I am planning to transfer to another college after BCC, I am not quite sure which college or which major I would like to pursue. I’m hoping that taking classes at BCC will inspire me to find a major.
-I am taking this course because it is a requirement for the General studies program. Also, I would like to refresh my skills in the Office programs so I will be more efficient while using the programs for school and career related activities.
-I have just graduated from New Bedford Voc. in the Information Technology/ Web Design Program so I am very familiar with the Office Programs as I would use them on a daily basis.
-While in the Information Technology program, I was able to get familiar with the following Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
-I am actually certified in Word and Excel 2003 but I have just recently been introduced to the Office 2007 programs which differ extremely from the 2003 version of the programs.

ReplyDeleteI. My name is Kristin Cunha.
ReplyDeleteII. I am currently a junior at UMass Dartmouth majoring in Accounting.
III. I am taking a couple of classes at BCC to transfer over to UMass for a bachelor’s in my major.
IV. My past experience with MS Office: I know and have worked with Word and Power Point but I have not had much experience with Excel and other programs. The versions I have used have all been 2007. I have done all homework and paper assignments for UMass and BCC using Word 2007. I also did a large power point presentation for my Business Communications class last semester at UMass. I have used these programs mostly for school reasons. I have not previously taken CIS 110 and I do not have too much experience with Excel or Access.
V. Along with needing the credits for school I decided on this class because it can only benefit me in every other class I take at college. The more computer knowledge you have the better. I have also always wanted to know a little more about Excel because I know how useful it is and how useful it could have been for me in other classes I have previously taken.
Hi, I’m Mark Hinch and my major at BCC is Business Admin, Accounting concentration. Transferring to another school upon graduation is a possibility, maybe Bryant or JWU, someday I’d like to get an MBA. I took this course for 2 reasons; firstly, like most of us it is a pre-requisite, but secondly, to hopefully insure I’ve filled any gaps in my on the job education / experience. I mostly take classes to supplement my employment, I’ve been with the same company for 20 years and by taking classes that fit whatever the role I’ve been forced to play, I insure I can continue to grow with a great company. I don’t have a degree, and although I think it would look good on my résumé, I am more focused on finding ways to improve my work performance than to fulfill a set of predetermined requirements.
ReplyDeleteMy current employment role requires me to develop enterprise wide business procedures, so mass communications is needed to keep everyone on the same page. The Microsoft Office suite offers a great set of applications; I use Word for everything from publishing standard operating procedures to word research (great thesaurus tool!) I’ve used Power Point for training, executive presentations and performance metric presentations. Excel is for me the number one Microsoft application, whether it is a finance report, a materials requirement plan or just a training schedule Excel works best. I have developed quality and machine efficiency tracking databases using Access, though it is not my favorite application for this requirement, it does work well when a clear use plan is developed prior to creating the table and relations. . Visio is another Microsoft product that I find extremely helpful, a large part of what I do is manufacturing and business process flow related, and there is no better tool for flow mapping. I have used version of all these products starting with the Office 97 release up to and through Office 2007.
I have not taken CIS 110 or an equivalent in the past; I have had military training in the area (almost 30 years ago). I have experience with other information systems that include Baan Enterprise Resource Planning, a fully integrated business operating software that connects all shop floor activities (capacity planning, materials management), distribution (warehousing, transportation), purchasing (receiving, issuance) to the related financial transactions via automated integration transactions to the general ledger.

I am not planning to transfer to another school at this time.
I am taking this course as a requirement for my program and also to get comfortable using word and other applications.
I really have minimal experiance with word. I have used open office before and although it is similar to word it does have some disadvantages.
Using open office I have created power point style slide shows, and other types of print documents.
Some of my works have been for school such as essays, and others have been for business.
I have not taken CIS 110.
I have minimal experiance with MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. I would really like to learn as much as I can with this course.

My name is Jenny Riding and I am an accounting major. Once I finish BCC, I plan to return to Umass Dartmouth to finish my math degree there (I already have three years done). I am taking this course because it is required for my major, but I do hope to get useful tools from this class. I have had a good amount of experience with MS Word and Powerpoint and some experience with MS Excel. I have used both the 2003 and the 2007 versions. With Word I have produced essays, reports, and letters. With Powerpoint, I have made slide shows to go along with many of my oral presentations. I have used Excel in my chemistry class to create different charts and tables. I have also used Excel to set up a spread sheet for my mom for her finances. I have used these programs for work, school, and personal use. I have not taken CIS110.
