The Last Six Weeks

What a joy. This term seem be to moving very fast. These six week Math has been a challenge for me. I have had anxiety, but my grades are good, but I give all credit to God. Comp. II is also a challenge, but I am approaching it in a different way this term. The professor is a great help, she explain the unit very well.

I have to make schedule and plan out my day. Keeping on track is very important. My husband has early AD. So, I am always on point. Making sure I stay focus on him. My daughter is in Chiropractic School and we help each other to stay focus. I help with making sure my grandson get to the school bus. I have a full life. Cooking, cleaning and shopping just staying on top of things. HaHa!!!! do not let me forget my son. He is the bread winner right now and he to are in school. You see we all are reaching for the sky. So, see the last six week has been a joy. I look at thing in a positive matter.

WISH ALL A GREAT AND BLESS HOLIDAY

Half way there

Half there. We are now in week five. We are working very hard to put our paper together. This week we are talking about our writing technique. One of my technique is free writing. It is nice just to write off the top of your head about subject you have read and give your opinion. Even though we may be writing free , we still need to have some tack.

My academic challenges are Math and Comp. II. I decide to take both classes this term so my anxiety can hit me all at once. I always want to do my best in my classes, my grades are first priority. It is like a challenge in my household that everyone has 3.5 to 4.0 GPA. We do understand that this may not happen all the time, but it is fun to try. So, I wish all my classmates the best in all their challenges.

School has influence me in so many ways. I am a grandmother. Been out of school along time, always said I was going back. But, this year told the story I had to go back. I needed a career change and the only way to get it was to go back to school. My family is my greatest support system. I think God everyday for them. For God has my back, for when time get hard by God grace and mercy I pull through.

Unit 4

My research paper are being done on Alzheimer's Diseases. I have found a great deal of information on this subject. In researching on one of my points which is nutrition, and how it effect chronic diseases and one of those being AD. I was fascinated to find out how MSG effects the cortex. MSG is an additive that are found in food, but most of the time the company play it off by calling it natural flavors.


Plagiarism
I think this is a good source to have in place so people that put in long hours and hard work should get the credit for their work. These rules that are in place to help avoid plagiarism. When writing a paper it is always important to document them which is giving credit to the author or authors. Even when paraphrasing we must make sure we cite the sentences. Citation must be used even with you putting it in your own words, because you are actually using their ideas. I myself have not experience plagiarism. If someone in my work professional was involved in plagiarism an I was aware of it I would hope that I could go to the person and have he or she to correct their error. But, if the situation is where he or she possibly not someone you could speak to, then I would speak to the human resource management. This is a situation that would have to be handle carefully, because there are so many things happen in the work force now. When dealing with employees now you really have to think thing through, because you do not know what will set someone off.

Unit 3

Getting to understand the blog. My son blog all the time he said to me this a new day and time. He said it is just like having a conversation on the phone. I am not so sure I want to put to much on the blog. But, I am sure that it is a great tool too use for communicating with your classmates. I plan on reading some of my classmate profile and post on their blog. I try to be positive at all time so I would like to give positive feed back to my classmates.

What I like about online school

I like online school. It give me the time to do what I need to do for my family. The flexibility is great especially with my husband having early AD. I have found it to be fun and very informative. We have just as much work to do as traditional school. I found communication with my classmates are very good. The key to a successful online school is time management and keeping to a schedule. and staying focus. You have to be diligent.

Playing catch-up

Well this sure have been done in week 2 but here goes. Late last night along with a family member we put it all together. I added classmates to my ULR address. After all the hard work on the blog I think it will be fun. Wish everyone the best.

Welcome

Sorry, this is week 4 an I just got the understanding of the blog. I had to get someone to show me what to do. I do not understand why I had such a hard time. This really upset me to the up most. But now let me move on to something positive in my life.

I hope everyone had a better time at this. My conversation will get better as I move on, I need to meditate and pray at this time.

I would like to welcome everyone to Comp. II.
