Throughout the semester I learned many technical skills that are very practical and will help me throughout both my school and work careers. Some examples of skills acquired include:

• Automating citations and bibliographies in Word, which is incredibly helpful and will save me a lot of time in the future.

• How to use excel spreadsheets, including how to use equations to do complex math for my data, how to make graphics and charts to help visualize my data, and how to separate and categorize data effectively in a visually appealing manner.

• How to properly create PowerPoint presentations, including the 6x6 rule 

• Changing permissions on files that I share, and being mindful of things like who I am sharing to, and for how long

• How to query and search through databases 

• Learning to look for and spot fake news and information on the web
