Day 3: Sunday, 23rd April 2023

Time Spent: 5 Hours 30 minutes

I watched a 4-hour YouTube video by Ahmed Oyelowo. That's an introduction to Microsoft Excel.

I subsequently watched another video by freecodecamp, for 1 hour 30 minutes. I've forgotten the name of the instructor. He had a list of Excel projects and built them from scratch. This one was a bit fast-paced and I was lost at some point. I stopped 30 minutes to the end of the video. I will still complete it and probably rewatch to understand it better.

Okay.

Day 2: Saturday, 22nd April 2023.

Time spent: 4 Hours

I had a very busy day and had to struggle to learn something.

I still continued with my Statistics video.

Video now remaining 15 minutes to the end.

I will have to complete the Statistics video and get into Excel.

I still have 12 more hours for my Statistics before 30th April. I would probably rewatch the video and look for some statistics problems to solve.

Why I posted yesterday's update today is that I was still up as at 11pm yesterday watching the Stats video.

Total number of hours spent so far: 8 HOURS (out of 600 hours)

Hello!!!
How is day one going?

Don't forget to update us on how it goes...

Update done...so far so good

Day 1: Friday, 21st April 2023

Time spent: 4 hours

I watched 4 hours out of an 8hr 15 minutes video on Statistics. I just watched. I didn't jot. My aim is to watch the video again later on and then jot.

I will post the link to the video later on. I got it from YouTube.

I have some Epidemiology/Biostatistics background, so the video wasn't too difficult for me to follow. However, I still learnt some concepts better. The instructor was also very good.

Total Number of Hours Spent so far = 4 HOURS (out of 600 hours)
