Winding Down

this class is just about over now, i must say it has been challenging as well as exciting for me. though I'm still working on my paper, almost there, i just wanted to take the time out to blog a little, this helps to relieve my mind at times, Oh and also it is required for this class. My idea of writing has changed in the veiw of learning that there are so many different ways to writing, and also many rules that go along with various types of writing. this would lead me to believe that i could possible be a free lance writer, kidding, (lol) the fact is i really enjoy writing, i just have to apply what i have learned so that i can become more skilled at it. anyways .....hope to hear from my fellow bloggers soon. its been such a great experience blogging with you all..... blogging off now..

Continuing to Blog

I wish the class was a little longer so that we could all continue to blog each other. I would like to continue to blog because I really like just being able to type my thoughts out. It helps to relieve my mind sometimes to be able to type it out. Another reason I plan to carry on my blogging is so I may learn how to use some of the other functions on the blog site. Yes I know a little slow but I have not utilized all the blogger options, that the blogger site has to offer, so i still have a lot to learn. so i can't stop blogging just yet and besides just because the class is ending doesn't mean that the blogging has to stop. Hope to see some of my fellow bloggers even after this course has ended.

Peer Reveiws

Hi bloggers, hope everyone is doing great! Just want to talk a little about Peer reveiws, I think peer reveiws is a great tool to use, it can be used not just for writers but for anyone who writes anything. The benefits of using this tool allow us to get second or third opinons on what we write. It also provides for corrections to be made by our peers. It really seems that this tool has been around, but we were not using it to our benefit,I guess if we were not writing we really did not take it to heart. But now that I know and understand the benfits of this great tool, I will be taking advantage of this great learning tool every chance that I get. Hope all of you will do the same.

How school is Influencing my life up to this point.

Up to this point I can say that school has been very challenging, but also very rewarding. It keeps me busy along with my daily workloads. Though, at times I may still fall behind, I have since learned to increase my skills as far as arranging and organizing my workload on a day to day basis. I have come to realize that this is a must do, if I plan to keep up with my school work and my every day activities. School, has influenced my life in addition, by allowing me to challenge my fears and anxieties about going back to school in the first place. I think I have come a long way from when I started, being out of school for a few decades and not exactly knowing what to expect. To my surprise, I have overcome relatively most of my fears about going back to school. I guess I can say school has had an exceptionally positive affect in my life up to this point.

Plagiarism

Based upon what I have read and learned about plagiarism, we need to cite, so that we can give the proper credit to the sources that we used to quote or get information from. Also, need to cite so that we will not be accused of stealing someone else’s work and the last reason that I can think of that we need to cite is that our work can be traced or looked up easily. If I missed any ohter reason feel free to add on >>>....blogging out now

Catching Up

Hello Bloggers, I managed to access my blog site again, Cool, I'm still getting used to blogging its a great thing to be able to do to just write or say anything you feel, well almost anything. Today, has been a great day for me, peaceful and quiet, thou I slept after church being very tired from staying up late the night before. I now have begun to get some work done, feeling rested and energized. My timing is sometimes so off and mixed up but I have to use the time as i get it. You might know what I mean, well my schedule gets off track at times, but that's OK, I know I'm not the only one or am I.

Becoming an Online Student

I must admit I was a little weary about becoming an online student, mostly because I didn't know what to expect. And another being that I had been out of school for so long. Boosting myself up, I kind of thought how hard could it be, I also was looking at the convenience, not having to travel, not having to look for parking and then running all the way to the classes. But, I also looked at it as a challenge, and boy it really has been for me. This is now my third term and I'm not as anxious as I once was. I was so overwhelmed in the beginning that I felt like I had made the wrong choice to start back now, but I also knew if I gave up this time, that I would continue to make excuses or pass on things when they seemed to hard for me. So I decided to stick it out and challenge myself to overcome my fears I had. I must say that Kaplan's staff makes it very easy and comfortable to transcend to your classes. My instructors have been great, They really believe in working with the students to accomplish their goals. And if you have a problem they are always available and supportive. For this reason I am glad that I chose Kaplan University. Though, I still find myself in struggles at times I know now that as long as I continue to persevere I will overcome whatever struggle or obstacle it may be. I am now very happy to be an online student, It is an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. :)
