Where has the past 10 weeks gone? Time has just flown by. I am so grateful to have taken this course. I have learned a lot and still have a lot to learn. I feel that my writing skills over all have been strengthened by this course. I learned the importance of having a strong outline to work from. It helps with the organization of the writing process. I have learned that I really need to get a handle on writing an effective thesis. That is where there is much work to be done to improve upon what I have learned. To any student embarking on the writing process adventure, I would say, use the KU Library and the KU Writing Center. They are both effective and valuable resources given to us to use. Secondly, ask questions. The professors are all great here at taking time to help us, but we need to ask for that help. Also, learn from your fellow students. They have much to offer and they are an important part of the learning process. Lastly, it was a fun adventure in writing. What makes a civilization or any group strong is communication. The written word is just as important in communication as verbal language. God bless all of you , my classmates, and you Professor. Stay well, safe and always hungry for knowledge.

Ah week nine. Where has the time gone? I have a renewed sense of the appreciation for writing. I will be relieved to turn my paper in, however, I do not want the class to end. I have enjoyed seminars and all the work we have accomplished. My Professor is fantastic and well educated writing. I have learned much and enjoyed her shared experiences in her own writing. I love my class mates and learn much from them, as well. It is through all the knowledge that I have gained from class, that I feel better prepared to complete writing tasks in my career in health information management. Thanks to everyone.

I really do not think I will do much blogging at this time. Most of my computer time at this point is school and email. I love school, although this seems to be my hardest semester. I really enjoy reading other people's blog sites. You really can get to know your class mates through reading on their sites. I have not posted on any other sites because it took me forever to figure out how to post on mine. Generally, I learn new things easy. In this case, however, I did not catch on to the concept. I wish everyone well these last few weeks. Professor, I wish you good luck with your writing your paper. It must be a little tedious reading our papers and having to work on your own. Good luck my fellow class mates and God speed.

I am a little disappointed in myself with my first rough draft. I thought that I had a strong thesis statement, but after the remarks on my draft, I now feel otherwise. I also realize that I do not have a good handle on APA. When I took Comp I, I seem to have had a better grasp on writing, than I do now. I will take what remarks have told me are my weak points to my draft and try to improve my writing of the assignment. Good luck to all of you and I hope that you have fared well through you rough draft assignments.

Peer reviewing is maybe the least favorite thing about class. I feel that with still developing my writing skills, that it is difficult to critique others work. I want to be helpful to my class mates, but feel my lack of expertise may lead someone in the wrong direction in their writing process. I want to help my class mates and not hinder their progress. In reading the drafts so far, I see that many have great experience in writing. The review that I have given on thr draft I chose, was a little hard to write. The draft was so well written. I interjected some points, but the draft was really written well already. I want to help my class mates. They do such a fine jib helping me and i want to return the favor.
