Final Thoughts

Dear Professor,
This has been a truly incredible class. Words cannot explain how much I gained from you and how much I learned from this class. I don’t say this lightly that when I go into business this will be the class I take the most out of!
The semester started with learning Microsoft Word 2007. I happen to view myself as a pretty advanced with Microsoft word. What I quickly learned was that I in fact new very little about what word could do. We learned about the ribbon and all the special feature office 2007 has. After word we went to excel which I will talk about later. We ended the semester with Microsoft PowerPoint and Access. Although we didn’t spend a lot of time on PowerPoint and Access I still came away with some amazing new tools I didn’t know about beforehand.
I came into this class pretty familiar with computers and the amazing things they can do! As I leave this class I sit here amazed by not only how much I didn’t know but how much more I still have to learn. Even the minutest detail, like when you have storage space is filled, holding down the control key to log off is something I didn’t know beforehand!
I thought the textbook was straightforward and very clear as to step by step rules! More so then the textbook I found case graders to be the best help to rein enforce the lessons I learned in class. Excel was the thing I was least familiar with going into the class and I never realized how imperative it is to business and how much I will use it in my career. I learned all about it and it was incredible being able to get a head start on my job for the summer, creating a budget for a business.
I cannot conclude without a quick story. Every year for my dad’s business we use Microsoft Publisher to make a schedule of the conference my family runs for Passover. My mother spends about a total of 36 hours making changes to the schedule. At some point this semester I learned the Find/Replace tool and immediately after class I searched for it on publisher. As soon as I found the tool on publisher I called my mother, who (no exaggeration) was in tears with the prospect that I (really you who taught me this) saved her about 20 hours of work to do!!
I thought you would like this story as it is cute and personal! Professor Jorisch you are a true tzadik and a giant hearted person! I wish there could be more of you in the world! You have made a profound impact on my life and I can’t thank you for your endless kindness and love over the semester! I wish you only the best and may you continue to inspire everyone around you for many many years to come!!

Sincerely with deep appreciation,

Avi
