The Tutorial

When this particular tutorial was introduced to me, i had a bit of a carefree attitude and wasnt prepared to take down many notes, because i thought i knew how to do most of these activites, such as creating a spreadsheet before.
As the tutorial progressed I started to tune in and gain more of an understanding of how every specific detail of microsoft word and how the internet could be used more efficiently, which was beneficial to me, and expanded my knowledge of this subject.

More Specifically this tutorial was beneficial to me, as i gained an understanding of how to create a spreadsheet, which is something i have had difficulty with in the past, and i wanted to learn more about it, so that in future i can create a spreadsheet for any subject, with ease.
