Unit 10 All Done!
I am definitely doing my last few assignments late but things at the home haven't been so great with family members and alcoholism problems. But things have finally settled down enough to get my last few assignments done and check my grade on how I did. I am so relieved that I got a good grade on my paper and able to keep my A! Now to pass my exam for my nutrition class and I can keep that A as well! I think the best advice I cold give based on my experiences is time management and organization will be a big help in writing a quality paper. Setting up a designated days for researching, note taking, and writing is extremely productive especially when it comes close to finalizing a paper. I did research up until making my paper completely final and found myself crunched for time because I didn't realize how much work was going to be needed to make my paper final. I still feel that if I would have managed my time better and spent more time working on my paper I could have had included another point on the dangers of non nutritive sweeteners making my paper a whole 6 pages instead of making each of my paragraphs so long. I feel that there could have been more Paramedic revision done to my paper than what I did do If I had given myself more time. As for organization, I had a mass amount of tabs open each with a different article and I forgot 2 references when I turned my paper in because I didn't keep all of my sources organized. Luckily I woke up 2 hours after turning my paper in and realized I missed those 2 references, I would have been so upset if I would have gotten in trouble for unintentional plagiarism. I think no matter how well I write a paper, exam, assignment, or project, I think I will always feel that I could do better and try harder the next time because I really want this degree and I want to do it as best I can. I don't want to just barely pass my classes, or just barely pass an assignment, I want to get good grades, keep my honor roll and high G.P.A. and really be proud when I get my degree. All of my terms have had things happen and obstacle pop up and I don't expect any of my other terms to come to be smooth sailings. So with each passing term I make a mental note of what did and didn't work such as insomnia and morning classes do not mix well and figure out the things that will work for future classes to come. Swimming upstream is very tiresome and something I would prefer to avoid during the course of next few years of college if possible.
