Unit 10-Final Thought

Hello Class and Professor:

I would say that my grammar and use of APA format has improved tremendously in the past 10 weeks. Not only have I learned how to cite references, but I have learned how to reword sentences as well.

My final thought, Study as hard as you can and make sure to read each chapter, and all of the readings for each unit. By doing so, you will improve your writing skills dramatically.

I enjoyed this class.

Thanks

How I feel after completing my final paper!

Unit 9 Blog
After working on my final paper for the last 4 weeks, I am exhausted. I feel accomplished to have had found so much information regarding adolescent depression, but at the same time I am extremely tired of all of the research.

I am very nervous to see what my final grade will be. I have had high expectations for myself since I started with Kaplan, and I have had nothing less than a B+ in one class and the rest were A's. So I am hoping that I get a good grade on the final project in order to keep my A in this class.

I have enjoyed this class, but it definitely had a lot of research and patience involved in it. The professor was great, so no complaints there.

Hopefully I will be able to take what I learned in this class to future courses.

I feel that the experience of this class has really improved my writing skills. Although I have been having to use office org rather than microsoft word, I have still been able to understand how to use citations, commas, proper sentences, etc.

As far as feedback on my blog, I only had responses in the first blog. So I was a bit bummed out about that. I hope people are actually reading these, and were not just writing a type of journal to ourselves.

I am not sure if I will continue to blog on here after this course is over. Maybe to keep in contact with other students I will, but as far as writing down thoughts, I am not sure.

Thanks

Peer Reviews

I think that using peers to review rough drafts is a great idea. It gives others oppertunities to see how others are writing papers, setting them up, and organizing them. It also allows the writer to get positive and negative feedback from both the instructor/professor, as well as other peers/students.
From past experience, I have always enjoyed other peers reviewing my reports. They always seem to be helpful even if you dont agree with suggestions that may be made. Also, peers tend to be honest good or bad, on ideas to improve your paper. So I personally have enjoyed peer reviewing.

Thanks Crystal Downey
