Peer Reviews Unit 7

Hello again everyone. I have chosen to write about giving and receiving peer reviews. I think that peer reviews are the best thing ever. I think that it gives you more chances to correct the things that are not mastered yet. It is ok to have family read your essay but will they really give you an honest opinion? I feel better getting feedback before turning it in to the professor. I think that when giving peer reviews you can be polite but constructive at the same time. I am one of those people who used to get my feeling hurt when I was told there was something wrong with my paper. Now I find that people aren't being rude or trying to hurt your feelings they are trying to help. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Good-bye for now.

Unit 6

I feel that the research I am doing will hopefully get a head start on helping people to realize that people with bipolar disorder are not crazy. They are less fortunate people who got stuck with a disease like high blood pressure or diabetes. If a person with bipolar disorder can stay on their medications they can have a fully functional life. On the other hand it is really hard to get them to stay on their medications. I just think that there isn't very much education in society on the subject. I have personally had to deal with someone who has the disorder. It can be really difficult for the family and the sufferer. These are my hopes for this topic. Have a great week everyone. :)

Unit 5 How school is affecting my life.

School has had a really big impact on my life. I love being in school. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. In high school I did not care what grades I would get. Now I cant even go a day without going crazy waiting for my grades. I feel a little stressed for time sometimes, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end. I want a better life for my family and I love to learn about the body and the whole medical field in general. I know that sometimes I do not give my family as much attention as I used to but I think they understand what I am trying to accomplish. I put forth my best effort because I want to be successful. I do not pay for school to slack off or goof around. I take my schooling very seriously and I love it. Until next time, have a great week.

Plagerism Unit 4

It s funny how much things change when you go from high school to college. I'm not sure if It was just mine or all over, but my teachers were not big on paying attention to plagiarism. It was always my understanding that if you didn't write word for word what the book/article said, than you were not plagiarising. Since I have been attending Kaplan University I have learned a lot about plagiarism. I am not sure how I would feel if someone took credit for my work. I would probably be a little upset. If it was for their personal use I don't think it would be a big deal. However if they tried to publish something that was mine that would be a different story. I now understand and know that I need to cite all information that I get from another person and give them credit. The more I use APA the more comfortable I get with using it. Have a great week all. :)
