Week Six, Projects Reflection

This week we had to complete our hands-on projects, which included the parent-teacher flyer, an excel student grade chart, and a power-point based quiz.

The flyer was by far the easiest of the assignments. I was already pretty familiar with Microsoft Word, so all I really needed to do was find an image that I wanted to use as the layout of the flyer. After choosing my image I just made up some information about a time and location for the meeting. I thought it turned out kind of neat. I may need to save it for further use.

I tackled the power-point presentation next. I have limited experience with power-point, so I had to fudge around a bit to really get the hand of setting up buttons that take the user from slide to slide, back and forth. I used information from a Romeo & Juliet test that I made for another class back over the summer. But, after getting the first couple of buttons to work, the rest was a downhill ride.

I finished the excel grade chart last because I have had almost no previous experience with excel in any way, shape, or form. Setting up the columns was easy enough, but I had to do a little research in order to find the proper functions for averages. But, much like the power-point, after the first one worked, it wasn't bad at all. The graphs also gave me a bit of trouble, never having to make one before. It took me several tries to get things the way I wanted them, but, as with the previous documents, I think it turned out pretty good for my first time.

Finally, attached here are the three documents uploaded to google docs:
