REFLECTIONS
 
 
When I started taking CIS 110, I had expectations of learning more about using a computer and different programs. I came into the class not knowing very much.  I took CTS 60, which was Essential Computer Usage, that gave me a little knowledge of some of the programs. I had a great teacher in that class that gave me a good basis to start my learning in CIS 110.
 
Ms. Noggle is a good teacher. I don't feel she should do anything differently in her teaching.  She seems very knowledgeable about computers.  The only thing that I can think of that would have helped me more is if I had taken this class on campus instead of online. Sometimes it can be difficult when running into a problem.  It would have made it easier to be able to ask for help face to face.  I am more of a visual learner. 
 
I have found out, that in a lot of my classes, it is necessary to use Word and Excel.  The knowledge of these 2 programs have helped a lot.  I have learned how to navigate around both of those programs pretty good.  However, I am struggling with the Access program.  I plan to continue working on that until I am as comfortable with it as I am with Word and Excel.
 
Overall I feel I have had a good semester in CIS 110.  I am much more confident with the computer now.  My husband used to know a lot more than I did, now I am able to help him some.  It feels good to learn new things.  Computers play an important roll in almost every job.  I feel sure that the knowledge that I have come away with will help tremendously in my future.
