Unit 10 Finished another term at Kaplan.

Here is my last post for this term I may take a break but am hoping to start back up when the new term begins. Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and a safe one too.

What advice would you now give to someone writing his/her first scientific paper? 
                Start early and ask a lot of questions. Possibly research what a scientific paper includes and what the requirements are before you start.

 What areas do you feel you strengthened in the past 10 weeks?
                 I feel I stregthened in my outlining and free writing I can jot down ideas and make outlines with the information in order by importance better than I did before.

 What areas do you feel still need improvement in regards to writing?

                         I still need to get better at making Thesis statements and preparing paragraphs and with APA format especially since it changed since the last time I had to use it.

 Any final thoughts or statements to make before we wrap up?

                    Just enjoy what you do and when picking a topic make sure it is something that you can find all the information you want to add and list some possible alternate information to include just in case one choice falls through.

Week 9 thoughts

Ok here we are in Unit 9, just this week and one more and we are free to do whatever we want until Jan 5th. I guess I am scared and anxious about the terms to come and realizing that almost a yr ago I started college and about 1 year left to go it is making me happy and determined to go forth and finish what I started. I can not wait till I am done and can go out and start my career. To all those that are reading this I wish that you all have the best of luck and success in all you do. 

 With your paper done or almost done, how do you feel ?

             OMG where do I begin? I am just hoping to get my paper done and turned in and get the most possible points I can to finish this class with at least a B.

  Do you feel nervous, accomplished, or just plain tired?

               I am kind of scared that I will not finish my paper in time and am hoping I find the umph to finish it on time.

  How do you feel about writing at this point? Has your idea of writing changed throughout the course?

                          I hope and pray that I never have to actually do any papers like this in the future. I feel I like writing in blogs and places like Face Book more than writing research papers because they are far less formal and do not require extensive research.

  What other topics would you like to research?

                   As of right now I would like to look more into many different topics and learn more but not have to write a paper on them. It just seems that papers are not something I am interested in.

My thoughts during Unit 8

I feel kind of weird writing this blog every week, I do not get as many comments as I thought I would have. I guess it is a good thing for me to write my thoughts down in this blog because no matter what I can not delete it unless I forget my password. LOL I would like to continue writing after I finish this course but not too sure if I will. I am a member of Face Book and I post there as well. This has been good for me this term as I am struggling to put my thoughts out in the DB and here I can type and it does not matter if I make sense or not. I am very glad this opportunity was given to me. I have thought about keeping a blog before but did not really know how to do it. I might just change my mind and keep this going after this course is done. Now if I can keep typing while my fingers are freezing LOL. I can not promise that I will do it every week but I will post as often as I can.
