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.
