Advice

First I have learned a lot from this class and I have really enjoyed it a lot. Now I would tell someone that I knew was writing a scientific paper that the first and most important thing is to make sure that you have a really good strong topic that is clear and has a lot of up to date information about it. Second research thoroughly what you are writing about, and I learned in this class that not all research that you find is good research the more up to date the information is the better. Never start on your paper at the last minute the more you put into your paper the better it will be. Go through the proper steps for a research paper you should do some kind of brainstorming for your paper to see what you are exactly trying to discuss, you should draft a outline do a rough draft then finally the final paper, I also learned in this class that you should never turn in the rough draft has the final paper because no one is perfect and there is always room for improvement in the rough draft. Overall I believe that the more time and effort that you put into your paper the better it will be. I am believe that letting someone Prof read your paper and offer you constructive criticism it could not hurt but only help and enhance you paper.

Final Draft

With my paper almost done because I still need to do some revising on it. I feel relieved because it is almost over with. I feel exhausted not because of this alone but because it is a little difficulty having to do tow papers at one for two different classes and they both are due at the same time. I don't know what to do. I have kept it together this far so it will not be that bad. I have actually enjoyed writing my paper for this class though about depression, mainly because I know a few friends and family members who I believe might have a few symptoms. I am a little nervous about turning in the final paper because I want to make sure that I have done everything correctly and I defiantly want to make sure that use APA correctly. As for writing as a whole If I had to do it I feel that i could do a good job and not freak out to much, but If I had a choice in the matter I would not do it because It is very time consuming and sometimes difficult to find current research about a topic. I am sure though before I am done at Kaplan I will have a least another paper to write but I know now I will be able to handle it.

Feed back/ Continue with the blog

I have appreciated all the comments that I have received about my first draft during unit 7 discussion board. To be honest I was actually looking forward to it and hoping that my peers would read it and offer me there feedback. I took out the time and I read through them all and i am going to make some of the changes that where suggested, especially about how I can make my paper longer and what topic I could research a little more. I like to have feedback because I know what i need to improve on and what could be better. I received great feedback and there was nothing that I feel that I did not agree with.

To be honest with you after class is over with I probably will not be continuing on with the blog. It is not really my thing. Like I enjoy going on to different sites and reading someone Else's blogs and commented on them, but as for me that is all I really enjoying doing. I don't care to much for posting my on blog. I will say though I have enjoyed doing this blog during class and I enjoyed the comments.

Peer Reveiw....Unit 7

I actually like to have peer review, it gives me the chance to get feedback from others especially when I feel like I could have done a little better on something. It gives me a opportunity to see if the person reviewing my paper feels I need improvement on the same thing that I do. I have never really had any bad experiences because other than this I have never really written that many papers. What I have done though and have experienced I like it I think that there is nothing wrong with getting a little extra help from someone else that is only trying to help. Even if I did not totally agree with the changes that they might suggest I still say Thank you, nothing wrong with thinking about a few changes.

Way to much going on..........

I would have to say that the first two weeks were going great I started off in class very good and everything personally was going pretty ok too. Then about the third week everything started to fall apart. My daughter who is eight years old has being pretty healthy a least as far as all the doctos has told me at every single appointment every since she was born. About the end of January the school called me and told me that she was having trouble breathing and she was complaining of very bad chest and that I needed to come and get her. So I did and I took her to the Emergency Department well about after a life time in there they came and told me that she has asthma. No body in my family has asthma so I had no idea what to do I was a little freaked out about it. Well after that happened a week and half ago I was in the middle of getting my hair done and the school called me to let me know that my daughter was on her way to the Emergency Department by ambulance and that I needed to get there. Here I am freaking out once again not knowing what is going on thinking that may it had something to do with the asthma. When I get there they tell me that they think that she was having a seizure. You have no idea what was really going through my head here I am on the verse of tears not knowing why they are telling me that my girl was possible having seizures. Well we have a appointment to go see the Neurologist on Tuesday to see what is going on. When I say that these last few weeks has being crazy and frustrating you have on idea, its a wonder I am still able to keep my head above water.

Giving credit

What would I do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?

To be perfectly honest about it I am not so sure what I would do. I seem to have the reputation by everyone that I know that I am why to nice and I seem to let a lot people get away with things that I should not. If I found out someone had stole work of mine and passed it off as there own, I would be really upset but I probably would not say anything. Its not because I don't think it was wrong but mainly because that is how I am, I tend to keep things bottled up inside and and never speak up especially when I should. Now to get right down to it if both of us was pulled aside by the teacher or who ever and was told that we had identically work then that is when I would speak up about it. I am trying to work on the fact that I should speak up for things that are not right.

online class setting

I originally signed up for online classes because I felt it was the best thing for me. I am a single mother of two kids who I feel like I barely see a lot now my daughter goes to school from 7am-3pm in the afternoon and since I work second shift she then goes to childcare start from school to 3pm-11:30 at night when I get off work. Now my son is with me in the morning still I leave for work but I still don't like the fact that they are in daycare so late at night. I like the online setting because it allows me the time to do my work at a time that is better for me verses having to find a way to be able to work and attend school in person as well has take care of the kids. Sometimes I do miss being in front of the teacher because there are some assignments that I feel I need the in class setting for especially when I was taking algebra I really wished then I was able to see and have the teacher live and in person, while I did pass I feel it would have being whole lot better if I was able to get the help I need one on one with the teacher. As of right now I really do not have any ways that the class community could be any closer, but when I think of one I will for sure post it and share with the class.
