End of the road

    As everyone wraps up on different projects during class, you finalize everything on your end and with a sigh of relief you logout for the final time of the semester. All the countless hours put in, has earned you a MOS certificate.


    Certainly a challenging course and different from what I'm used to. There were moments where I felt like I wanted to give up, but I of course knew better not to.


    As students reflect on what they've learned during the semester, I wonder if Professor Wu ask's the same question himself after each semester. "What have I learned from my students and what can I change to make this course even better for future students”.

Visual Learning

    We all learn differently, some are fine reading everything out of a book, but some can't learn at all without visually seeing things and being hands on. An image or video gives us a clear understanding on topics, not only that, but it helps capture our attention.

    With media formatting in PowerPoint, you can insert photos, videos and audio. These can make you presentation fun and interesting, making it more effective when showing your audience your point instead of just telling them.

    There are many ways to customize your media as well. You can incorporate styles and effects, crop, align, etc. The floor is yours! Be sure to make things eligible though. Just because it may look neat and fancy doesn't mean it'll be easy to read when presented through a projector in a big room full of an audience who can be far back in the room.
