Peer response-unit 7

http://pixiemoms.blogspot.com/2009/11/unit-7peer-reviews.html

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???

APA Format

We need to cite our sources to give credit to those where due. If I noticed that someone was using someone else work, then I would ask them where they got the information from. Then ask them to cite it. Plagiarism among professionals usually end up in court or in one backing down and letting the person take their work. Yes, different unreliable websites do smear facts into false statements. Therefore unless the website is accreditted then I usually try not to use it...

Being an online student

I like being an online student because I have the leisure to do things my way. All of the resources needed are given and everyone is here for the same reason, so we work better together. The only down fall is time management is a big thing because without it an online student is doomed to fail or just get by. I definitely don't regret my choice of going to school online. Traditional classes never really held my attention for too long. I even get a bit antsy in the seminar every now and then.. Plus I get to spend the time I need with my son, which is the biggest bonus yet. My degree will be when I achieve it. I work a lot so anytime I get is a godsend.. Good luck to everyone I hope the projects are coming along nicely!
