Unit 7 Blog!

I am not sure I even want to write this blog. We are in week 7 and I guess since I have been so busy I haven't had time to get into it. I haven't been able to keep up with anyone's blog, and I never get comments on mine. I was really excited about the blog in the beginning, but now it feels like I just do it for the grade.Well that is okay. Lets talk about something more interesting.... OUR ROUGH DRAFTS!

I am running a little behind on my rough draft but will have it in tonight! If anyone wants to go back to the Unit 7 discussion I could really use the constructive critism! I also commented on two of my classmates if they want to check it out! I am excited to have time to do homework, but I miss my little girl so much. Since I moved so far away I let her stay at my parents for a week when I went there for Thanksgiving. I can't wait until she gets home, but I am going to use this time to spend with my husband, and catch up on things that I fall behind on when I put all my focus on her!

Good luck everyone on your Final Paper!

Unit 6 Blog

Unit 6 has been fun! I am a little backwards though. I did my outline before my rough draft, because that is how I always prioritize my paper. It keeps things in order, and helps me stay on the right track. This term has been hectic, but I am grateful for the professor's help, and the help of friends and family. God has blessed us even in the hard times. The thing I need to work on is time management. I have been saying that the last three terms, but I plan to actually go through with it. No matter the struggles, I plan to succeed in this course, and courses to come! Hope everyone is having fun and on the right track to our Final Project!

Unit 5 Overcoming challenges!

I can't believe we are half way through the term! I have been so busy with potty training, moving, and the dryer catching of fire(everything is black)!  We have been blessed to have so much help. There is a lot of cleaning left, but we are hoping to be back at the house by Christmas! School is still one of my top priorities, but it has been difficult, because the first 3 weeks my computer was down, due to the fire, and the one I was using didn't have microsoft office, so I am still making up work. I only have two option 2 seminars left, and Unit 1 assignment! I have a B in both my classees, and plan to bring them up to an A. Overcoming challenges is important in everyone's day to day life! God bless...

My favorite prewriting styles are brainstorming and outlining... how about everyone else?

Unit 6 is in two days. Good luck starting your drafts!

Unit 4!

To wrap up Unit 4 I am going to tell everyone why I take plagiarism so seriously. Two terms ago in Medical Terminology I had a girl copy my initial DB post word for word. I went about solving the problem in the wrong way. I commented that I was looking for a different view to comment on and learn from, and instead found my thoughts. The professor then wrote me and said she had handled the problem, and erased our messages, because she didn't want a distraction in the DB. She was right. I should have emailed her instead of writing back. It is upsetting when you know you worked hard, and someone doesn't care to take the time to do so also. I love the way APA citing makes that easy to do when in the classroom! I need a little practice, because the only ones I am really familiar with are articles, and websites. So to be able to cite things in other place I need to review the guidelines.

GOOD LUCK ON THE QUIZ!

Feeling thankful today! Everyone praise the Lord :)

Unit 3 :)

Unit 3 has helped me in creating a better thesis statement, but I have one problem. I am not sure of which topic I am going to use for my final project! In unit 2 I wrote about my three different choices, and if anyone has a suggestion it is greatly needed. I love writing, but I am very indecisive when picking what to write about.

Online learning! I think that online learning is a great way to get different outlooks on what you are learnig. The discussion boards gives us time to see other people's results when looking up the same topic. Also when it comes to blogging, you can get to know your classmates better, and get more help if you missed something in class. I believe blogging makes homework fun! I haven't got it all down, but I am really getting into it!

Well that is all I have for this Unit!
This week is going to be busy. Moving everything out of my smoke damaged house so it can start being remodeled. Sounds fun, right?!? Wtih two kids... lol

Have a great week!
