Unit 10!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Giving advice on a scientific paper can be tricky because it's very precise and requires so much compared to most of the other different types of papers. Detail and reliable sources are the key to a scientific paper to me. So relax and try to work on it a little bit at a time until you feel comfortable with it.
I have strengthened in all ways possible in my opinion because of the amazing professor I had.. She pointed out our weaknesses in a positive way and pointed out our strengths to prevent us from being discouraged. I could still improve my organization and on my referencing my sources.
Great semester everybody!! It was fun editing and revising and working in a team effort to improve on our errors...

When things seem like they are coming to an end; don't be fooled it could just be the beginning!

With my paper just about done I feel liberated! I'm looking forward to the small break that awaits me.. A week with my son is one of the best feelings ever! I had a blast with this class.. There were so many opportunities to grow and mature... And for that I can do nothing but thank our lovely professor! Thank you Cassie for everything! You truly have been a wonderful teacher!
After this semester I am tired, but I'm excited because now I'm just that much closer to getting my degree... I feel about the same with writing, but I just have more security when I write. Sometimes I use to second guess myself on whether I was writing the way I should be and with my tone, just left me feeling somewhat hopeless. I feel more comfortable that I'm writing the way I should be no matter how hard the task. I look at writing a little different.. Before I had tried to step out of the box and now I realize I need to push myself out of the box to get that open mind I wanted...
I'm just curious person, so with that being said I like to know everything about everything and the problem with that is I forget a lot.. I have to chose what is most important to me out of a few choices or I'll get lost and torn... I'm really curious about human emotion because we see everyday and very few of us have a true understanding of how it works.. That to me is freaking amazing to possess a quality and not have a clue as to why we or others do what they do...
Thanks everybody! Without our ability to work together and contributing to our success by working together! Good luck to everyone!!

Unit 8...

It's hard to believe this semester is almost over... Since this week is a random posting I thought I would talk about a little of everything... I appreciate all the suggestions and comments.. I appreciate all the help... I think this week had been a bit difficult because of my crazy schedule, but things are getting done. This paper has been a bit of a challenge for me, but I think it's more because of the subject I chose is more difficult than the editing and revising... I don't think I'm going to blog after this course because I'm just not a blogging type of person.. I like to write but most of the time I don't have anything to write about... It's been a pleasure though.. I wish you all luck next week with our final papers...

Peer response-unit 7

Tammy- I agree that we should all be mature enough to write honest reviews... I mean college is hard enough without honesty... The most helpful advice I have ever been told is that as a college student we as student should always approach things without an open mind...I hope this helps!!

UNIT 7!! YAY!!!

Peer reviews are tricky because we all have an unique way of writing and we all have different opinions on how things should be done... Hopefully we can use our ideas and positive criticisms to help each other rather than taking all of the comments and using them for improvement... I like to embrace any room for improvement because it can make me a better writer...
I don't usually have an "Ah ha" moment until I believe my paper can't get but so much better. When I'm just about done with a paper, whether it's because of a dead line or I feel it's close to being done is when I try to relax and let ideas come to me openly..
There are an astounding number of people waiting for organs... There are less people donating organs too... This has got me thinking if I could financially afford to donate an organ... I'm a little crazy, but in my eyes it would be for such a great cause... I also believe in karma.. go figure..

Week 6 YAY!!!

Personally I am always going through something.. I'm sure we all do especially if we work, go to school, and have kids. Every day of every week there is always something, but I have so spent time with my project and I figured that I should narrow my topic to organ donation from deceased donors. There are so many less complications with deceased donors rather than living. I took some time to do some research and found what I needed... I'm hoping that I can find research and proof to encourage people to become organ donors.. There are so many people out there in need. I can still remember my grand mother telling me that sometimes we must sacrifice what we love to help another in need. I know that we are talking about our bodily organs. I know a part of our body we need and use, without it you wonder what kind of quality life will you lead!! Donate an organ to save a life that might very well change the world. An act of selflessness can be the most fulfilling..

Process and style

When it comes to a writing process I don't think I have one. I'm kind of all over the place. I try to brainstorm and then an outline. To be honest though I just start writing and then edit. Yes its a antagonizing process that never seems to end, but it's how I write my best..
The outlines are a bit hard for me because I don't always have the extra time to write and then organize. With that said it takes me longer to throw things together with my papers... My challenge is the academic writing process. The chosen topic, proposal, outline, rough drafts, and final draft.
I did very good in school when I first started, but since I have started school a lot of changes have taken place. Now I'm a single mom, who has to work the 40 hours to make things go. I feel like I don't have enough time to do things I want to or even sometimes need to. My son is mischievous and to do homework with him awake is near impossible.. I just want to be does with getting my degree, which is well needed so I can proceed with life.. Does anybody have any suggestions for me???
