It is finally over...........and it was fun!!!

To someone who is writing his/her first scientific paper I would advice him/her to have Julie Pal of Kaplan University as their English composition II professor.  She is the best.  I went into that class just knowing that “I would not do a good job” and she made that statement a false statement.  I did great because she made sure that I did what I needed to do to make it through the class.

In the past 10 weeks, every area of my writing has been strengthened and I feel much better about writing.

Now that the class is over I am truly going to miss it.  I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

THANKS PROFESSOR JULIE PAL FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Count down to the end means.................

With my paper done, but needing to be proofread, I feel relieved but at the same time nervous because I do not know what my grade will be on the final paper.  I have a headache and I still need to proof my paper. I am so tired and will be so glad when December 21, 2010 at 11:59pm gets here. I NEED A BREAK. I am starting to resent school.

Because I do not like to write and I probably never will, I feel much better about writing as a whole.  I know that I will write more papers as long as I am in school and I will definitely use everything that I have learned in CM229 in the future.  Eventhough I do not like to write, I really enjoyed the class as a whole.

At this time, I would not like to research anything.  In the future I would like to research "Hypertension".

Week 8: Issues, thoughts about comments, and will I continue to blog

I looked at the calendar a couple of days ago and realized that we are in unit/week 8 of this term and I said WOW!!! I was so anxious about the writing process that I never thought about issues just about doing a great job in the course.  As for how I feel about the comments or lack of comments, well no one has commented on my blogs. I guess they were not interesting enough.  I will probably not continue to blog after this course because I only think about it when I look at the required work for the unit.

Overall, I have enjoyed learning so much in this class and I regret that I can not wait unil the final project is completed and graded..............Enjoy!!!

How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?

I do not feel good about peer reviews because of the anxiety that I experience with writing period.  I do not feel that I have the experience to give a good review.  In the past, when I had to do a peer review I gave a good review because we had to do a group project and do an evaluation of each member of the group.  Is a peer evaluation the same as a peer review?  Everyone in my group did their share of work and we received an A for the project.  So the reviews were good ones.

I think that the peer reviews are good because we get to help and encourage our fellow students in the process of writing a great persuasive research paper.

The Last Six Months I have been dealing with.....

.....doing all that I can not to stress myself out about the paper that is due for College Comp II.  Professor Julie is so supportive and I know that because of her, I will do a great job, but I am still so anxious.  I can't even think about writing anything else until I have completed this paper.  I have done my rough draft and I still need to do more research to lengthen my final paper.  This week I will not have time to work on it, but after the Thanksgiving holiday, I will be back at it non-stop.  "A Better Writer I Will Be"

Having a blog moment and..............

I just need to think and write. I am so overwhelmed with all that is going on in my life right about now I could scream for awhile. LOL. I need to vent and I will vent here on my blog. To begin with I need a couple of rest and relaxation days. I am trying to juggle, not having a job, keeping my house, school work, the holidays, and paying bills without a job. Thank God that my daughter is situated and I do not have to worry about her and her school.  The bible tells us to pray and don't worry, if you worry don't pray; I am doing all I can to pray and not worry, God will bring me out.

Thank you blogger family for reading my post and encouraging me in a positive way.

My Personal Writing Process is..........................

I do not like to write.  That is the bottom line.  I do it because I have to and that is how it is. I write journals but there is no order to them at all.  BUT now that I have been taking this Composition course at Kaplan, I am really enjoying learning how to write without being stressed out.  I use to write and write and never read what I wrote. As long as the paper was finished, that was good enough for me.  It did not matter to me if it was engaging or not.  I made acceptable grades when I wrote my papers that way, but I am realizing that I have to move to a higher level.  I am so thankful for this writing course. I know that my personal writing process is going to change tremendously; it already has. :)

We need to cite our sources...............

Plagiarism in my own words is when someone uses someone else's work and take credit for it.  Plagiarism is illegal and one can get into serious trouble. It is so important to cite our sources because we do not want to intensionally or unintensionally become a victim of plagiarism.  We must give credit where credit is due.

Online student..................I Love It!

When I realized that I needed to go back to school and get my degree, I was set on going to a local campus in the city that I live in. The more I thought about it, I could not figure out how to fit it into my schedule, so I changed my mine several times and then I was introduced to online learning.  I did my research and found out that I go could go online and set my own hours as long as I met the college guidelines.  I am now in my fourth term here at Kaplan University as an online student and I am loving every minute of it.  I still have those days when I can not juggle time, but I bounce back and do what I have to do to get through it.  My GPA is a 3.8 and I am pleased with everything that I have accomplished since becoming an online student at Kaplan Universtiy.

♥ I may not be the most beautiful, or the sexiest, nor do I have the perfect body. I might not be everyone's first choice, but i'm a great choice. I don't pretend to be someone that i'm not, because i'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things i've done in the past, but i'm proud of who I am today!! Take me as I am or ...watch me walk away! Post this if you are proud of being u.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Sharon Jenkins and I live in Orangeburg, SC with my 19-year-old daughter who attends the University of South Carolina. In my spare time, I volunteer, go to ball games and band competitions, and watch television.
I am enrolled in the Health Information Technology program at Kaplan.  And I am in my fourth term.
I am unemployed at this time and school is going great.  I am learning new things here at Kaplan and I am enjoying every moment of it.  Last term I learned to create a Wiki website and this term I am learning how to become a blogger.  I am loving it :).

If there is anything that I can help you with please feel free to ask.

God bless you.
