Week 7

So I think that I got a little ahead of myself last week when I posted about peer reviews. That blog should have been posted this week. Oh well things have definetly been crazy this last week. I have found myself completely overwhelmed with all that has been going on. Not only with school but with work and home life too. I think like a lot of people that is the case when it gets closer to the holidays though. I really hope that with reviews from my peers this week on my paper I will get all the advice I need to have a great paper in the end so that at least it is one less stress factor.

Peer Reviews

I decided to blog this week about how I feel about peer reviews. When I first started thinking about how I was going to respond to  this question the answer came easy. I thought I love having feedback on things that I do. Whether it be school related, work related, or even home related. Then the more I thought about it the more I realized that even though I like feedback I sometimes don't take it all that well. I guess I have a fear that people are going to criticize  the things that I do and make me feel like I didn't do a good job on something that I felt I tried really hard on. I think that this is just another learning experience in life. I know that most people give back feedback to be helpful not hateful so I just have to stay positive and keep doing what I am doing.

Life as an online student

So, when I decided to start this journey in going back to school I had no idea all the thought that what was to go into it.  I really thought that it was going to be an easy decision either I do it or I don't. I thought that going to school online was going to be easy. I was certainly wrong about that.  I have to admit that the flexibility is great I like that I don't have classes all the time. I have discovered a lot about me as a student. Things such as my learning styles, all the different school methods, and the biggest self discipline. Although it's not exactly what I thought it was going to be I am over all pleased with online schooling so far and am excited to see what the future holds.

Plagarism

I think that plagiarism happens a lot more then is probably is noticed. I think that I would be extremely upset if I found out someone was using my information and not giving me credit. To spend any amount of time on doing something and not getting credit for your ideas or thoughts would completely suck.
