Today was an optional final class session. I am pleased that majority of students was able to attend :-) This afforded me the opportunity to walk through the answers and rationale of the final bonus quizzes, illustrate the difference between our first class session and this one, further entice students to pursue Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certifications beyond MOS Associate, and re-iterate everyone's support for Bridget and Linda in their efforts to join their six classmates in finishing IS101-3022 strong.
After class, I tried to proctor a re-take of MOS Word (MO-100) for a past student but encountered error messages about CSN's exam session inventory license in Certiport. Another faculty confirmed the same when she tried to proctor my MOS Access Expert (MO-500) exam.
I expect this issue to be resolved Monday. My students and I will catch the last two days of exam sessions I scheduled for Tuesday, 12/22 and Wednesday, 12/23, each day at 12 pm, 1 pm, 2 pm, and 3 pm.
As of this blog post, I have seen preparatory work from Stephanie and Adrian on their pursuit of MOS Outlook (MO-400) and MOS Word Expert (MO-101) respectively. Anthony and Nnamdi both indicated that they want to pursue MOS certifications beyond MOS Associate. Tukta declined but I wish she will reconsider. Matthew was uncertain whether he would be able to devote the time and energy in the this pursuit as he took on additional military logistical support responsibilities in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine. Thank you Matthew!
I wish everyone success next Tuesday and Wednesday as the space shuttle 'Section 3022' travels into uncharted territories for IS101 ^_^
Congratulations to my fellow colleagues on ending the semester strong :-) Enjoy the Winter Break! I'm so excited to finally have some time to relax and destress from a hectic year.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the issue was resolved and I was able to take my Outlook exam! Also, my MOS Associate certificate arrived in the mail today. Will need to find a frame for it to put in my new office when I move :D
