Unit 10 Blog

Hi Professor and Class, 
  I have decided to do my blog this week on:
     What advice would you now give to someone writing his/her first scientific paper? 
  
   The advice that I would give someone who was going to write their first scientific research paper is I would tell them to first make up their thesis statement/introductory paragraph so that they can come up with their 3 points that they will be discussing in their paper. Then once they do that instead of trying to write a paper as whole all at once, I would just focus on each individual paragraph that way you will be able to gather all facts for one topic at a time and have more to write about. I think when you focus on the paragraphs individually that you also focus more and make it sound a lot better than you would have trying to write all the paragraphs at the same time. I know that from my experience in writing my paper that was one thing that helped me write a great paper. I never thought I could do it, but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be and I am proud I accomplished it and it ended up turning out great.

Hi Professor and Class,
 This week I have chosen to do my blog on:
    With your paper done or almost done, how do you feel

•         Do you feel nervous, accomplished, or just plain tired?

 I can honestly say that with my paper done now, I feel very proud of myself. When I first starting taking this class and the teacher mentioned writing an essay I got really nervous and didn't think that I would do well in this class at all. Once we started on our essays and started breaking up the paragraphs and focusing on each one individually, I realized that it was a lot easier on me. I honestly read my paper over and over again now and am very proud of myself on how it turned it out. I think I did a great job on my paper that I really didn't think would happen. I had no clue that I could actually write an essay, and it was so much easier to write an essay than I thought. I feel accomplished and know that I know can write an essay if I have to do it in another class. I will definitely be taking the techniques we used in this class with me for future classes. I found them very helpful. I am so thankful for taking this class. 

Unit 8 Blog

Hi Professor and Class, 
  I have decided to do my post this week on: 
Discuss any issues you have had throughout the process.


   The only issues that I can really think I have had with the blog throughout this course is when I first started the blog, for some reason  I could not sign in. It was so difficult to post something to my board every week because I could not get logged in so I would have to change my password repeatedly. Then once my password started working great, it was difficult to respond to classmates posts. Some would work out for me great, but others would not show up at all. I was really frustrated with that because I would want to respond to some classmates where I could relate to them but I couldn't. Now, things seems to be working out right for me. Overall, the blog was difficult to get a hang of at first but now that everything seems to be working right for me I am actually happy to be posting blogs and reading what other classmates have posted.
