Assignment

Discuss any issues you have had throughout the process.
I sure wish we would have started out a discussion group of our own. Maybe on skype. There are a lot of talented writers. I wish I could be one. I am a pretty boring person. This experience has helped me to see how others think and write. It was an awesome experience.

• How do you feel about the comments, or lack of comments, that have been made to your blog posts?
Well my blog was pretty boring considering others. I wish I would have wrote more on others bogs.

• Do you plan to continue your blog even after the course?
I think I am going to and I will post it on my facebook.

Peer reviews

How do you feel about peer reviews?
I believe peer reviews can be helpful and due to the fact it is not the professor, we can get a fresh perspective.
What have your experiences with them been like?
No one has done mine yet, and that makes me sad.

• Discuss any “Ah Ha” moments you have had during the writing process or in your research.
Being corrected on the APA format, even though I was right that it was incorrect, I was still wrong with the correction.

• Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?
Just how difficult APA format is.

• Look at your peers’ blogs and link to one of their responses in your own take on the idea.
Not sure I understand this but I can try.

Last 6 weeks

Everyone is well aware my past 6 weeks were horrible. School seems to be the only normal thing going for me. Losing my brother was hard but my son is proving to be a the hardest. Just when I believe I can handle it I start crying all over again.
My paper is coming along but I start thinking of new things to add so I need to stay focused. I try to refer to my notes I even tried the bubbling but I guess I am old school. Take care all I will update I have so much work to catch up on.

I think my research could be useful to parents of teenagers especially if they notice warning signs I have a lot of helpful information including coping skills which I find very helpful.

My son: R.I.P.

I found my 29yr old son dead on Sunday night. I havent had any energy to even think. His funeral will be on Friday. I will post the obituary tomorrow.

Assignment

My personal writing style would have to be freewriting and an outline. I like writing all of my ideas and any questions I may have and want answered. Then I make a rough outline and fill in any blanks.
My academic challenges to this point is having to do 2 seperate essays and all the changes with APA formatting.
School has not only infuenced me but my adult children as well. My daughter is now taking Health Information. My life has really taken a turn for the better.

assignment.....

We cite our sources for a few different reasons. I would hope that we cite to give credit and to inform the reader who wishes to look up more information or to see other things from that author. Another reason is if there was misinformation whose fault it is.

I have actually had some people on flicker use some of my photography. I was not happy about it but I do watermark my work now.

I am not aware of any real world plagerism issues, although I am sure it happens. I would hope the person who actually wrote would prosecute though.

I don't think the internet blurs the line, it boldly crosses it everytime. This is the world we live in and you really can't catch everyone that does it. Somehow we just will need to see it as a form of flattery as long as it doesn't hurt someone or if it is really that bothersome than maybe a lawsuit may be needed.
