Gummybear2013

Hi,

I am studying Reception & Customer Care Fetac 5 and loving the year only module i am finding difficult is spreadsheets i understand good bit of it just my teacher he goes very fast in class and dont have time to get around to helping me on own and he bit snappy as well if ask questions. I just need someone go slow at it bit of a slow learner i want pass this module i find it interesting and would like help with all work i doing for rest year.

Wondering anyone in cork city centre that great at spreadsheets and does lessons and if so how much per hour being a student would need something not to expensive. Could meet up in Cork College of Commerce where studying or anywhere near has computer . i need excel and my latptop home dont have it

thanks everyone

If you can't find anyone to help you at the moment, use the internet to find the help that you need. It is on there.

It's better than nothing.

I'm doing the spreadsheets as it is as part of an ECDL module.

It's actually easy enough.

@OP - ideally your 1st port of call would be to talk to your lecturer after class. Explain that you enjoy the class but are struggling a bit. Would he have some time to go over a bit with you etc? You may find he's more relaxed after class, and easier to talk to.

Your next port of call might be Student support - or whatever its called in CCC. If you need a little extra support, then the college is best placed to help you with this. If your attendance is good etc then I'd imagine the college will try to help a bit.

Other than that, is there anyone on the course who seems good at Excel? Could you ask them?

Finally, with Excel - it's all about practice - you need to spend a fair bit of time, so that the tasks etc come naturally - it's one of the more difficult modules, but stick at it and you'll do fine.

Best of luck!

If the teacher etc in the class won't help out, ask for extra classes on the subject.

We done it for different modules and it helps a lot.

Only takes up an hour of our week.

I feel your pain spreadsheets are a curse hate them and all to do with excel.. If tis of any ease to you, I don't think many people actually know what they are doing with them the most of the time it is a fluke getting them right been in reception for years and I just smile and say yeah no problems I can do that and google all the way haha.. sorry I know this isn't helpful but it might put you at ease that not a lot of people do get it.. best of luck
