Peer review

How do I deal with peer review? Well when it comes to receiving a peer review I handle it pretty good. I like to receive feedback because it can only help me. I take their ideas and try to incorporate them into my work. If they say something would sound better with different wording or needs to be deleted I take it in stride and make my own judgement.
As for giving peer review, well I double guess myself all the time. This makes it hard for me to give peer review. I am always afraid I will give the wrong information, offend someone. I am trying to improve myself in this course so I can help others.

Unit 6 Blog

For this week I have chose to blog about what my last six weeks have been like.
Wow, where do I start!!! I have had good times like learning how to write a clear thesis, learning to blog, and I have a wonderful professor and classmates. The only bad thing is that this term falls on all the holidays. So it is very difficult to get the school work done, the house clean, the Christmas shopping done, and make it to all the soccer games! Oh yeah and both my classes have a big paper due in week nine! So, I take the good with the bad and can't wait to graduate. I know I will love it when I become a Medical Assistant.

Unit 5 blog post

I chose to answer the question of "how school has influenced my life? Well I have to say that school has completely changed my life!!! I find myself on the computer a lot, reading more, and being very curious. I feel really good about myself! At first I thought I was doing this for my kids, but now I realize that I am doing this for myself too. I feel that I am contributing to society now.

Unit 4 blog post.
For this blog post I decided to answer the question why I think citing is so important? I feel that citing our work is very important. It gives credit to the author. If we did not cite our work the person did the work to get the information will get no credit, therefor they do all the work and get no acknowledgement for it.

Online classes!

For this post I have chose to write about my experience as an online student. I can honestly say I love it! I only have to be present for one seminar each week per class. The rest of the work, I do at my own time. I am very lucky this term. I have made friends with my classmates, and we all work really well off of each other.
I think the one thing Kaplan could do to make us a tighter community is putting us in study groups. I think we can learn a lot from our Professors and each other. This is my only idea. With two kids at home this is the greatest thing ever. It makes my life so much easier.

Teenagers!!!

Let me start off by saying "I don't remember being this difficult". LOL I have decided to write my first blog about my 12 year old daughter. She is a very smart girl. She makes honor roll every quarter and is loved by all of her friends. Now, lets talk about the attitude. Everything that comes out of her mouth is sarcastic or just being a smarty pants. Oh yeah did I mention she has a boyfriend now?
I decided to let her have a myspace for her 12 birthday, and now I'm starting to wonder if I should have. Her friends tell her I am over protective. I agree I am. I am not looking for a grand baby in the near future. It amazes me how much freedom some parents give these kids. They are still just kids! My mom was strict and I love her for it. Thanks for listening to me ramble. This blog think isn't half bad!
