Captain's Log: Ten Four Twenty Twenty
Passing the Week 6 of 16 mark in Fall semester of 2020.
Third semester of using Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) as the industry certification component of IS101 curriculum.
Second semester of combating the COVID-19 pandemic.
First semester of fully live-remote.
Majority of the students are keeping pace or ahead of the semester timetable :-)
The space shuttle 'Section 3022' is reaching the first milestone: MOS Word certification exam (MO-100).
Stephanie, Anthony, Matthew, and Adrian are leading the charge in using the GMetrix skill reviews and practice exams (in Test mode) to reinforce and sharpen their mastery of Microsoft Word.
Following physical distancing to thwart the spread of COVID-19, Certiport enacted live-remote certification testing Mondays through Thursdays, 6 AM PST to 2 PM PST.
The optimal date range to take the MOS Word certification exam is Thursday, 10/8 and Monday, 10/12 through Wednesday, 10/14 while Word is still fresh in the students' minds and before we engage the Excel coursework.
Stephanie and Adrian's proactive stance and confidence enabled them to contact me and choose their respective date & time to challenge MO-100 in that optimal date range. Bravo ^_^
I am glad someone canceled their vacation days so that I could schedule some time off in the morning to take the test.. lucky me :) I can't believe in about 2 weeks we will be 1/2 way through the semester!
ReplyDeleteWow, time certainly flies when you're busy, and trust me, I have been BUSY with LOTS of work going on this semester. I feel accomplished and proud of myself that I have been able to push through and I will continue that. I look forward to the MOS certification exam, and I wish the best of luck to my fellow classmates.
ReplyDeleteMy current leadership school I'm attending starts physical training by 6am and then instruction before 9am. I'm trying to work around the schedule but it seems that no option is feasable. I'm very stressed that I will miss time from one obligation to meet the other. This has been my biggest issue during COVID restrictions, finding a suitable time that meets everyone's needs.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely nervous about the coming up exam. Hopefully everyone gets a passing grade.
ReplyDeleteDue to my current work schedule I am not able to take the exam during the week. Hopefully something can open up on the weekend so that I can take it. Although, I get extremely nervous during exams so I'm hoping that the GMetrix skills review and practice exams will be beneficial to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna lie I'm a little nervous for the exam, but I believe I will do fine. GMetrix is preparing me well.
ReplyDeleteThis year has been a better educational transition than I expected. I have gained a lot of necessary knowledge from IS101, and my Microsoft Word skills are not as polished as others but have proven to be sufficient, thanks to this course and the professor. Hats off to my classmates who lead the pack, it is motivating.
ReplyDeleteI've learned a lot in IS101 this semester and I will keep studying hard preparing for Excel.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm feeling super glad I got the MOS Word Exam out of the way before I fell further behind! Phew!
