What advice would I give someone writting his/her first scientific paper?
Blog Page
The advice I would give someone is to not get over- stressed about writing the paper, becouse in most cases I think a person will start to panic or over think what they have to do in which causes nevousness and intensity about the paper. I myself at first thought okay, I am going to write a paper, a scientific paper. How am I going to approach this? What will I write about? How am I going to come up with a topic? Will the professor like the topic? So I had many questions pop into my head. Crazy, huh? I kinda had no idea where to start. So, to the best advice I would give would be to not get over excited about the essay whether it is good or bad excitement. Start to work on your essay earlier by putting yourself on a schedule. do your research early to ensure you have all the information you would like to have about the topic. brainstorm and/or put all of your initial ideas down in writing. Go to live seminar so that you can interact with your peers and the professor about the essay as the cllasses help you build up to the final paper. Ask questions to ensure you are doing what is aked of you properly. Do not over work yourself on the essay so that you feel overwhelmed. Get feedback from peers, friends,family, and etc. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done at the end, because you are most definitely worth it!! I enjoyed this Comp II class a lot. I will everyone who takes this class the best of luck in the future!!

How do I feel nervous, accomplished or just plain tired?
Blog Page
I feel accomplished and tired. I have tried to put fourth the best effort that I can possibly give to this essay, and I hope it really pays off for me and the end of this course. Throughout this course I have strived to put my essay together piece by piece. I think that I have done a good job. I have enjoyed both Comp I and Comp II, I must say that I have learned a lot from both class about writing. I think if I had to choose the classes on my own I would not have chosen writing to be in the first six classes I have taken thus far. I do believe since I have been taking college comp I and II that I am becoming a better writer and I am really to meet the challenge of writing about other things. Thanks Ms. Perales and classmates!!!

Do I plan to keep the blog after this course?
Yes, I am going to keep my blog I think it is fun. I like blogging. Even though I have not written on it a lot I have read a lot of the blogs. I have found some to be helpful and some are informational. I think I have found a new way to interact with old friends and new friends. I am more than happy to become a blogger buddy of anyone who would like to keep in touch after this class is over. I think we all can extend a hand and make lasting friendships for a lifetime using tools like blogspot, facebook and etc. I learning how to be more computer savvy everyday that I spend on the computer. No only that I am learning to type faster without looking for the keys!!

Unit 7
I there anything I found intriguing or shocking in the process of your reasearch?
I wrote about tubal ligation, and there were many things that were shocking to know. I learn that there are six diferent types of sterilizations, I learned that tubals are offered most when a women is having an unplanned cesaren (remember that ladies), I learned that you can get pregnant for up 10 years after a proceedure and some pregnancies are successful and some are ectopic and have to be aborted. So, I learned quite a bite of information. I believe the information to be very intriguing as I did not realize what I had gotten myself into when I had my tubal. I had no advice about the proceedure and I myself did not know what to espect. I think now, when a person who has not had a tubal will find the information to be very useful in there future decfision to have a tubal.

The last six weeks
Hi Everyone,
The last six weeks have been good for me. I have be maintaing my grades and I am proud of myself for doing so. Msy husband and I are celebrating our fifth year anniversary on February 18, 2010. We have been together many many years though. I am getting my son prepared to graduate and go off to college in the fall. I am so proud of him. I am so glad that I chose to come to Kaplan I am really having a very good experience and I never expected that I would have this great of an experience. I also have a daughter at home with me in the day and I will be sending her to daycare in the fall so, I will be crying twice I guess. My husband and I are currently paying for our first cruise ever (yeah!!!)!! We will be shipping off in July for 5 days, I am so excited. This will be the honeymoon we never had and I will get a chance to see a place other than Georgia.

Academic Challenges
Hi Everyone,
If there was one thing about your academic challenges , what would it be?
I think for me my challenge is to stay motivated to finish what I have started. This is my very first time attendinding a university, and to have started this in an online seetting is a huge step for me. I am a person that is not very outspoken but, more on the quiet side unless I am pushed into talking. I chose online classes because I feel that it pushes me to put myself out on-the-limb to open myself up to make friends and talk more. Since I have started classes here at Kaplan I have been more than happy with my experiences. My sister and I started atending Kaplan at the same time and we do use each other for support, It seems that we are a great team . I give her motivation and pep talks if she is on a low and she does the same for me. I like that fact that Kaplan does have a lot of support for if you do have a problem you can always talk to your academic advisor and you professors. I think that I am really giving my children endless possibilities for their own life, and letting them know that no matter how old you are the sky is the limit; you just have to reach for it and you can accomplish anything. I feel I do have the drive to go forward and suceed. I am looking forward to walking down the aisle when my name is called to recieve my degree with a big smile on my face and all of my family and friends cheering me on!!!

Plagarism
What would you do if someone used something you created without giving credit?
If someone took something that I wrote. I think I would first try to find if was a business, college student, or high school sudent. Then I probably think about if it was intentional or unintentional. Then I would let the appropriate person know that some my work has been stolen. Then what would be appropriate from that point is to call the person or write a letter letting them know that copying work without proper citing or giving credit to the oringinal author is inappropriate. This would be a first offense. Then I would also let the person know that continued plagarism would result in explusion from school or if it is a business this person could be sued.

Experience as an online student.
Hi Everyone,
I love being an online student and have the flexibily of deciding the time I would like to study. I had never be to college before and this is my first experience with college. I am pleased with what I have experienced thus far.
I am a busy wife and mother of four children. So having flexibility is so important for me. I don't think the traditional college campus would workout for me, since I do a lot of running around.
I like not having the ability to pre-judge my classmates by looking at them directly. I think this is a better way of truely getting to know a person and create true friendships that will last for a lifetime.
I do not have any suggestions at this time, about makin g things better. I think everything is great, and I navigate the KU web site very well now.
This term, I am struggling a little with getting back into the swing of things. I think it is because I got relaxed during the holiday. Now, I feel my enery and excitement about being is class comming back to me.
