Week 8

Week 8
This week I have continued to work on developing my smart targets through excel, as I mentioned in my previous post I have started to develop my smart targets through excel. As I believe that this will increase my efficiency in completing both targets which I have set. Firstly because I believe that proof reading numerical figures which help to increase the precision of my proof reading, meaning that I will be able to spot small errors which are normally difficult to identify. Increasing the precision of my proof reading skills. On the other hand reading the brief is exactly the same for this assignment as it is for an assignment completed in Microsoft Office Word, therefore continuing to work on this smart target using the exact same method will continue to improve my skills. Due to the fact that repetition is the best way to improve a skill. Currently I am aiming to continue working on my smart targets using excel, excel has helped me to improve the smart targets which I created and I would like to take this even further, until I am completely satisfied with the level that I have reached. Presently I am using the strategies that I developed in order to help me complete my smart targets, for example for reading the brief I will write down all of the important pieces of information on a separate piece of paper in order to refer to them if I need to. This will prevent me from forgetting important pieces of information about the brief. In terms of my other smart target I have had to make a modification to the method I created in order to aid me in completing my smart target, when proof reading my excel assignment I have to check the row or column before I read the data. To ensure that the correct data is in the correct location, I have to repeat this procedure 3-4 times in order to be accurate, otherwise some mistakes may still remain. In my next post I will discuss the evaluation of how helpful excel has been in relation to my smart targets.
