IT can be mind-opening. Imagine learning how the technology people use today works and even becoming proficient at it. This is definetely a skill well-needed in modern society and should be saught after to gain an edge in the competitive workplace. IS101, I believe, is a great step in that direction. I can see why it is an introductory course in the program towards IT degrees, but a vital one, at that, and even if one doesn't pursue their degree all the way through, finishing this class can have tremendous benefits for practicality and job resumes. So, let us begin, into the fascinating world of computers and learn how a lot of these business applications work.

Well said Alexander!
ReplyDeleteYes, IS101 may be an introductory course; it does lead to Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certifications. Though the course only requires two: Word and Excel, I open the doors to all -- including the Expert-level ones :-)
Welcome to IS101-2003, Spring 2021 ^_^
I agree that MOS certifications are going to be very valuable once we get certified. Lot of industries consider this an asset.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rudie for mentioning the merit of Microsoft software experience. Sorry, I did not understand what the hype was about as I never encountered it as a requirement other than school work.
DeleteI agree, I think the benefits to this class are very practical.
ReplyDeleteIT seems very intimidating and I respect anyone who is willing to take the time and money to learn it. I know that I am comfortable troubleshooting my own systems sometimes, but I know there will be many times in the future where I'll need a professional.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! No question my school life would have been a lot much easier had I have the skills in technology and knew all the applications.
ReplyDeleteYes! Alexander, Let's do it:)
I would have to agree with that, IS is a great first step to having a leg up on anyone especially with how tech based the world is becoming nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigue by how much prettier my word documents will be moving forward.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about IT (see what I did there XD) becoming proficient in this modern age of technology advancements makes sense. It really is best to take up that skill, and truly run with it.
ReplyDeleteI concur this class is a great way to begin our journey into the IT field. The applications of what we learn here are extensive.
ReplyDeleteFor once, everything that I am learning in a class will have applications outside of the class that I will be able to use right away.
ReplyDeleteGetting into CIT, there are so many new terms and names I will have to memorize, i fell like it would be impossible to memorize it all!
ReplyDeleteAs technology continuously advances, I think that it would be important and beneficial to learn about it. I had considered learning code since it looks fun and interesting to me, but I have not been spending my time wisely these days.
ReplyDeleteThe need for understanding technology of today's day-and-age was the driving force for me taking this class. I am looking forward the benefits that can be obtained from taking this class.
