Writing Improvements

This semester in my writing class has been very helpful. I have learned how to properly cite sources as well as how to research my topic and use APA formatting. I found that using different strategies to start my draft gave me the opportunity to see where I was going with my ideas as well as come up with better ideas. The peer review was helpful as well; giving me some good feed back and ideas on how to improve my paper. I lost a lot of points on my finial paper because of punctuation and some of the citation; so the areas I think I need improvement would be my citation, reference page and punctuation.

My feelings about writing

Well up until this point I did not know all the steps that went with the writing process. I did take comp 1 and the instructor was great but comp 2 is more detailed and in my opinion stressful. I found myself making a lot of mistakes with apa, I use the sources that are available to me as a student. I really love the instructor this term because she made it easy to get my finial paper done. She gave me some good feed back on my draft and I feel really good about my final paper. My feelings about writing is that I know I will need it sooner or later in my career and when the time comes I will know all the steps necessary to get the job done.

My Blog

Hello,

Even though I find blogging very interesting; I don't think I will continue with it. I don't have the time to read what is going on with everyone and besides I keep myself busy with face book and my emails. But sooner or later I might find my way back.

Peer Reviews

Hello Everyone,


This week we have to post our draft to the discussion board for our peer review and I found this to be very helpful. Who would have known that the opinion of your peers would be so helpful. The insight I have got has help me to consider some changes to make my paper so it will flow better. I really enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on how I am doing rather it is good or bad.

The Last 6 Weeks of My Life

The last 6 weeks of my life have be fun but challenging. I started off on a good start with the new semester making sure all my assignments were turned in on time. I was having a hard time getting my discussion post in on time so I have lost points due to that, but I plane on using better time management to get that issue on track. I am really enjoying the instructions I am getting from my professors, they have both made this 6 weeks pretty easy to understand the course. I am looking forward to my next set of classes and the time when it comes to graduate.

School and it's Influences

School has been a good influence on me, it has showed me good time management and organization skills. Before I was a go with the flow type of person but now I like to stay ahead and have everything at arms reach so I can get my assignments done and turned in on time. I still find myself going back to my old ways but I always get back on track.

Plagiarism

Bases on my reading on plagiarism the reason I think it is a good idea to cite our sources is because it is not fair to use someones idea as your own. People spend many hours of their time to do research, and it is not fair for someone to take the easy way out by using someones hard work as their own. The next reason I think it is a good idea to cite your sources is so your readers can have the opportunity to do more research on there own if they like.
