Hi everyone
This is the end of this course and I really enjoyed myself, and I learned a lot. I know there is more to learn. I believe that my writing skills have improved by making sure to have a strong thesis statement that can easily be followed by a well organized paper. If writing your research paper for the first time I would suggest that first you get a thesis statement one that is strong and straight to the point. Then work the paper backward by compiling your reference page, research first. Write the body of the paper, by putting all your thoughts on paper. Followed by writing an opening and abstract. Most of all do not for get to write in-text citation so that you are not accused of plagiarism. And enjoy as I did.

After this course
I plan to keep my blog going even after this course is done. I hope we can all stay in touch this way. I do not have any problems or hard feelings about any comments that I have received throughout the course. I will probably have more time to post other things. So I hope to see every one.
Have a blessed day

Peer reviews
Hi Everyone
What do I feel about peer reviews? Is the question of the week?
Well I do not have a problem with someone reviewing my paper for the simple reason that, when someone else reviews your paper they may catch some things that you may have missed; which would help you get a better grade. And actually you do not have to take their advice if you do not want to after all it is their opinion, and ideas. When I review someone’s paper I make sure that; I am honest because telling someone that their paper is good and in order when it is not, is not the right thing to do in order to help them with their paper it is deceitful. I would give comments that are based more on facts and that are directly related to the paper and not so personally opinionated. I also try to make sure I am not being offensive. I do realize that the writer has put a lot of time and energy and research into their paper. And I would not try to take that away from them. In this class it was the first time that any writing that I have written has been reviewed by my peers before being checked by the teacher. Not a bad experience but why is it that the subject of the bible is so offensive to some people?

My academic challenges
Hi
School is a challenge for me because I am working full time and have a family. However the biggest challenge will be the internship. I have to leave my family and fly seven thousand miles away from home for a couple of months. And I am hoping that I will be able to find a job when the internship and graduation is over. I do believe that God is with me and everything will be okay and work out for me just find. I like challenges and as they say winners take chances. So I am up for some challenges it will not keep me from climbing it just add spice to life.

Plagiarism is when someone has written something and someone else takes credit for it. Doing this is as if you are stilling from someone. It is not right even copying someones work is also plagiarism. If you are at a work site and your co worker has discovered something it is not right for you to run and tell the boss as if you have discovered it give the credit to the person who actually found it. THINK if it was you would you want them to do you like that?
