This class has been very educational for me. I use Mircrosoft Office Excel every day in my place of work. I have only ever been familiar with the functions that I use each day. I now know and understand the capabilties that not only Excel can perform, but Word and Powerpoint as well. This class has tought me basic office function and will benefit me throughout my whole life. Computers are part of every day life, and understanding their functions in important programs such as Microsoft Office is very important. I think it is great that Computer Essentials is a required class for general education at Salt Lake Community College because it allows students to become familiar with basic functioning inside Microsoft Office, which is commonly used. Everything that I have learned in this class has been very beneficial and I will carry this knowledge with me throughout my academic and professional careers.
