Final Entry: Advice

First, advice for someone writing any kind of paper- Pace yourself. Allow yourself to take it step by step, but keep up with the work. Don't let yourself fall behind. I would ask for help EVERY time you need it. It can't hurt. When doing research, make sure your sources are reliable and you have enough information to begin writing. Always try to stay positive. If you start feeling like you will fail, then you probably will. For a scientific paper, do your research on your topic thoroughly. Make sure you gather enough information to back up your side. And if you attend Kaplan, USE the writing center. They offer great advice and can really help. This class has been a little stressful with the whole paper writing process, but I did learn a lot of information that I will take with me. Good luck to everyone and maybe I will see some of you in a future class. Everyone have a great break!

Unit 9 Entry

Yes!!! I am so glad this unit is over and my paper is done. This was not my first paper, but it was definitely the hardest. I had to put more into it and I am so glad that the entire process is over. I am not 100% happy with it, but it's alright. I do not like to write so I had to really push myself to get it done. I did learn about a lot of new information regarding my topic and learning about new things is always good. Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback I received and good luck to everyone in their future classes. See you back here next week for my final blog post.

Unit 8: Will I Continue My Blog?

I have enjoyed this experience and reading other's thoughts and feelings about different topics, but I do not think that I am going to continue my blog after this course is over, unless it is for a grade. I just do not write that often and I really don't have the time to keep it up. So I will continue to blog for the next two units, then I will say goodbye. So until next week.....

Peer Reviews

I like peer reviews. I think it is a good idea to have your peers look over your work, for one, they are working on the same thing and know the process and the amount of work that goes into the assignment. And other's opinions might help me see something that I missed. At the same time, I do not want someone giving too many suggestions because I am very sensitive and try really hard and those comments could easily hurt my feelings. I just tell myself to be open minded and that this will open my mind to new ideas.
