Excel skills

It is week 10 in BIM class. I am so enjoy being here with likes and dislikes of what we have done. The most impressive experience for me, I think it should be my first time to using Excel in the class and I do not know how to format the spreadsheet data.

Initially, our lecture shows us how to prepare financial statements in Excel and use different types of graphs for different account elements, and then we need to prepare it for our business report. Although I try my hard to catch up, I still cannot follow the lecture steps. I felt so difficult to handle it, because I have never use Excel before. But, even so, I did not ask for help. I just felt upset and regret about that. I should prepare it before the class so I spent two hours to practise Excel at AUT library after the class.

I knew I am not a smart guy. Opportunity to be there for those who are prepared. Just like our lecture, while he makes a great presentation seem effortless, I know that he has well prepared for it. So, I should learn from it and always prepare well for the class every time, like read carefully the study guide. This experience also told me, my listening comprehension ability is low compared to my classmates, I need concentrate in the class, otherwise I will easily to feel lost. My weaknesses are I'm not as articulate as I would like to be, and I shy for ask question. But the good news is I admit my weakness and I am willing to correct and ameliorate it. I am willing to learn and learn fast. And now, my Excel skills are improved a lot. I can easy to catch up the lecture steps, I know how to lookup the formulae for data manipulation, conditional formatting, prepare charts or predict the trends in Excel, etc. I have worked very hard for some weekly tasks. For example in week 3, we need to do a exercise for Income Statement and Balance Sheet in Excel, I am not good at formatting spreadsheet data and spreadsheet Design so I search and

    Over the course of this year in English, I think my writing process has excelled the most along with my overall writing. In the past, I have used similar techniques to develop a final essay, but, this year, I have begin to rely more heavily on planning out and slowly chipping away at my essays and papers. I believe also that because of this planning the strength of my writing as a whole has grown. Personally, I do not think that I grew in my vocabulary usage. Overall this year, I grew as a writer in ways that I would not have predicted.…

    First and foremost,I need to attend all the classes although it was held until the late of the evening because I know that I cannot study by myself.I need someone to guide me which are my lecturers or my friends.If I studied alone,I will spend my time by sleeping and playing with my phone.When I did that,I cannot be a great student like I want.Meanwhile,lecturers give a lot of information during their lectures.Usually,they do not repeat what they have tell us today in the next class.So,if I did not attend the class, I will be left out from any academic activities.Last year,I had a Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.But,I did not attend Additional Mathematics class because I was not feeling well.The next day,when other students did the exercises,they can did it easily.But me?I cannot answer the questions although it was just a simple questions.I feel ashamed with myself.This show that how important to attend classes.I can also ask questions straightly if I did not understand the lectures.I think that lecturers will try to teach me their best.So,when I went back home,it is easy for me to make a revision because I understand what the topic that lecturers explain to me.…

    Learning about Excel the past two weeks of this module have been interesting. There is more to learn about Excel than students could have anticipated. Week two of classes we were to complete an income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, a common size income statement, and a common size balance sheet, from chapter two of Mayes & Shank (2012) problem number 3. The question that needs to be answered is what the value is in having the financial statements on a spreadsheet (Mayes & Shank, 2012). The answer is that all the information is formulated within the Excel; it is easy to read and even easier to navigate through and follow.…

    In this week we are turning our attention towards the remaining major component of the balance sheet – owners’ equity. Like liabilities, owners’ equity represents another form of financing for a business. At first glance, liabilities (capital provided by creditors) and owners’ equity (capital provided by owners or shareholders) may look very different. As we delve deeper into the topic, however, you will appreciate that debt and equity are at either end of a continuum of financial instruments and that sometimes, financial instruments exhibit both debt‐ and equity‐like qualities. Further, you will note that some financing arrangements do not appear in the balance sheet at all! In our discussion of equity financing, we discuss the option of using equity as a source for resources (assets) of the corporation. Shareholders are a key source of initial finance for a company. While traditionally regarded as the owners of a company’s assets, more recent thought suggests that the shareholder exchanges their investment in a company for a right to the residual cash flows of the firm (dividends). At the end of this topic, you should be able to: LO1. Describe the components of owners’ equity LO2. Accounting for contributed equity LO3. Accounting for retained profits LO4. Accounting for reserves LO5. Describe bonus issues, share splits, and share buybacks LO6. Understand what is meant by debt/equity trade‐off…

    One week ago, I’ve faced the most difficult task in my life, because, as you know I am a very shy person. For just one single day I’ve become a teacher, I must admit at the beginning, this task was very simple, at the end I found myself with a lot of job ahead of me ,because; I haven’t any single idea that how to be a teacher in front of a class. So, I was doomed. I made a lot of research that how to prepare a class, how to stand in a classroom, how to speak with the people in the classroom, even how to get dressed for that day. For real I was lost.…

    In addition, we have received the result for the test calculating the movement of money in and out of a business. It has 12 exercises standing for 120 marks and I just got 6.7 scores for it. Overall in the class, there were not high scores of this test. Therefore, the professional had to spent more time providing us the solution and explanation for every exercise. Every one was concentrated on her lecture expected for understand deeply the lessons. She also reminded us that we had to learn this kind of subject carefully because it will be harder in the future. For me, I am not good at calculating and take the advantages of excel, so it is hard for me to keep up with the professional lecture. Since, the professional teaches us quite fast sometime, I can’t catch up with her lecture. Thanks for her attractive lessons, but I hope that she will teach us a little bit slower than she did. However, I also need to review and practice doing more assignments to be better.…
