It's over!!!

Well our time for this term is over. I am anxious to find out my final grade. I am glad and sad that it is over. I don't know if my writing has improved because I am confused on some things still. Well, I guess it is to late to worry about it now. I was doing good up until my rough draft, and after that things got worse. I would like to think I tried my best, but maybe that was not good enough. I hope to keep my GPA up, especially since I am enrolled in the honors courses. The next term I am not looking forward to because I have Math. I just do not understand most of any type of math unless it is pretty basic. I would like to wish everyone good luck and hope to see you down the line.

The final paper

It is good to know that I have finished my paper and turned it in. I still have two more classes to get work done before Tuesday. I guess I feel relieved that it is almost over, but I feel more nervous now than I did before I finished the rough draft. I feel like I didn't have enough information, but if I would have added to much more I probably would have had to write the paper all over. I am not looking forward to my final in A&P, but I guess it will have to be done. Well I have had so much going on this week, the kids being out for fall break and my hubby being off for his vacation. I did not try to rush through anything I just couldn't think much. I am about to go take my dog to the vet, he has worms so I will try to get back on here later. I have some note taking to finish. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Week 8, It's almost over gang!

Hello everyone,
Hope all is well with each and everyone. It is almost over and we have accomplished so much. I would like to say I am proud of myself. The comments were appreciated last week for our discussion board. I don't know if I will keep the blog up after the term is up, but if I do I hope I get better at it. It has been interesting to do this; although, I have not been able to blog as often as I would like. I have enjoyed reading other blogs, and I hope mine has been interesting also. Good luck everyone with the essay, and see you in class. Maybe after this term is over, if I decide to keep the blog, each one of us will still keep in touch. We might could help each other out later down the road. Have a great day!  :)

Peer Reviews

There has been times in the past where someone reviewed my work and I didn't take it well. I even think  sometimes when a person is trying to sound positive, when giving feedback on your work, it can still be taken the wrong way. I have gotten better at accepting critisizm and I try to watch how I give critisizm back. I try to make sure that I don't make the person feel bad, but just point out a few things that could be changed. It is great to receive the right kind of feedback, because it helps you fix errors and make the work better. I hope we have a great class tonight and I look forward to it. Thanks.

Wow, Week 6!

It has been busy for me this last week, and really part of the week before. I have to say that having three classes this term has been harder. Although, I am working hard on everything and keeping my assignments done on time; I just wished I had more time during the day . The topic I am writing about for this class is Fibromyalgia. I have wanted to put so much information in it; it has been hard cutting down. Now I hope I haven't cut down to much, because when I submitted my rough draft to the writing center, (which I haven't received a response as of now), it seemed a little short. I was trying also not to write in first person, which is hard. I hope that it turns out well. Hopefully all of my classmates are doing well this week. I am going to finish this and work on it some more and also work on one of my other class assignments. Have a good day to everyone who reads this.

Already half way done with this term

Hello classmates,
It is week 5 and time is flying by. It seems like just yesterday I started school. I can say that being in school is influencing my life in a positive way right now. I have gotten the farthest with Kaplan than with any other school. I have to say that I like it and going into the medical profession has helped me think outside of myself and keeps me going. I want to be able to help others and I am more involved in things now rather than sitting at home wondering where my life is going. I hope that one day I will make a difference in this world and most of all it is what the good Lord wants me to do. I don't want to be someone who is selfish, but someone who will give without asking for anything in return. I have grown up a lot and have come to realize, because of my faith and church family, that I don't worry about other people anymore. I do what is right even if I have been done wrong. I don't retaliate against that person. Anyway, up to this point I think school has helped me keep focused and see the future, not just what is right now. Even though you really should focus on the day to day, which I do but I have goals now. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Plagiarism

Hello fellow classmates. I didn't realize that plagiarism goes far beyond just in our writing. I liked on the video we watched that gave the example about a co-worker not giving proper credit verbally when telling another co-worker about putting the ink in the copy machine. I have seen things like that happen and just not pay attention to it. For instance, if I were to give someone advice on how to do something and they went and told a friend how to do it but didn't mention my name, then that friend will not know that I am the one who actually thought of it. I never thought about that being plagiarism but I guess it is. It is basically stealing and idea and not giving proper credit to the author. When looking at it that way I know now that if I were to find out a person did that, I would be upset. I am going to start making sure when I see that happening, I will correct the person. Also, I want to make sure I give proper credit where it is due.
