blog 10

Overall I think I could have done better on the midterm if I had memorized some of the things that we were tested on before the midterm took place. I do not think I did very well on the first half of the midterm. I think I could have done better on the first half of the midterm if I had memorized the extensions of certain file types. I also think it would have helped if I had read the scanned picture portion of the midterm more carefully, as I ended up putting something in my response that was different than what was needed to answer that section correctly. I also think it would have helped if I had reviewed how to put Word Art into the header of a document and practiced doing that. I think it would have been helpful if I could have found the correct journal article on ethics. I had a hard time trying to find the article when I searched for it because a lot of what I saw in the search results looked like presentations. I spent a lot of time trying to find an article on ethics among all the presentations. I think I did better on the second part of the midterm since I did not make as many mistakes in it. When I made the outline for Inspiration I was unsure of whether or not the subtopics I made were detailed enough. I was also unsure of how the pie chart should be labeled. I did not remember how to make a screen shot on a Mac which made one part of the midterm difficult for me. Probably the easiest part of the second half of the midterm for me was describing important things to consider in a PowerPoint presentation.
