What has been your experience in this class using Excel to solve math problems?

I did not use Excel to solve math problems during the whole course, but I used Excel in other classes when I was studying economics. I love that Excel has many tools like solving math problems, using formulas, and analyzing data.

At this point, how comfortable are you using Excel for business purposes? When do you still use your calculator?

I am comfortable using Excel for business purposes, but I would like to get experience. For example, when I was in Colombia, I did Excel Courses. Also, I was programming and using formulas to apply accounting to a demo business. But I would like to get a job in the finance field.

What do you think would help you improve your Excel skills, if you need to?

I want to re-take more Excel courses because I could forget things since I did this two years ago. That is why I would like to have my skills back. Hopefully, I will be doing accounting in a real business one day.

Please comment on using Excel in IFSM 201 and / or IFSM 300 if you completed either of these courses.

I enrolled in IFSM 300 for my next semester. I hope to use Excel during that course
