Today, one of the remaining two students faced the MOS Word certification exam and passed with a score of 809 :-)
At the same test session was also the top and breakout student from my IS101-3025, Spring 2020 semester challenging the MOS PowerPoint certification exam, MO-300. He dominated MO-300 with a score of 953 and earned the coveted MOS Associate distinction!
A top student from my IS101-3026, Fall 2019 semester also passed MO-300 at the end of his semester with a lower score. Earlier this year, this top student was notified that he qualified to represent the state Nevada in competing for the opportunity to represent the United States in 2021 MOS World Championship. He accepted the invitation and free trip to Orlando, Florida for August 1-4, 2021 to complete. I am so proud him ^_^

Hmm, I wonder if my top and breakout student from Spring 2020 will qualify for the the same opportunity...
Come to think of it, the leading student of IS101-3022, Fall 2020 at the time of this blog post is in the age range (16 to 22 per Microsoft Corporation) eligible to qualify for the same opportunity. Excellent Smithers, excellent...
Wow, what an achievement! I did not know MOS had a championship.
ReplyDeleteQuite fascinating to learn that there is a MOS Championship. Congrats to your former student on this accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! How exciting for you and your former student.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an amazing opportunity, and I was also never aware of this contest. Hopefully the second student from the spring semester will also receive an invitation and one of them will become the champion.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome he was invited to participate in the contest. I was only aware of the contest when you mentioned it right before the test.
ReplyDeleteI saw the survey after the test and it asked you wanted to be considered for the competition. If somebody is going to pay for your travel opportunity, take it and enjoy the free trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations to that student. What a big achievement for him.
ReplyDeleteWow I'm so jealous! A free trip to Orlando!! That's awesome!
