Hi Class. This course is about to come to a close. And as they say, the best is saved for last. I might go a little crazy before I turn in my final project. I wish all of you the best on yours, and I hope to see you in another course.

Unit 6

This week is unit 6. I am finding so much more infromation than I ever imagined about fetal alcohol syndrome. It is a condition a lot of people like my Mother have never even heard of. I think there ahould be more awareness, espeially for expectant mother's. I keep thinking about a friend of mine who smoked pot throughout her pregnancy, and how no one but those of us close to her never even knew. I just pray her kids are alright despite her poor judgment. The same can be said for mothers who consume alcohol too.

Being a student at Kaplan has surprised me in so many ways. When I first started I was so nervous. I just knew I was going to have a hard time. I am now in my fourth set of classes, and I could not have been more wrong. Truthfully, nothing worth doing should be easy, but I have been able to maintain a fairly good GPA, and I can not even begin to count all the things I have learned. I can honestly say going back to school was one of the best decisions I have made.
Unit 5. Prewriting techniques..........
I can narrow my prewritng techniques down, but mostly I research and write down a lot of different information about the topic I have chosen. It looks like a great big mess, but it helps me narrow down how I want to approach my paper. Then I free write and review until I complete it. This might take ten tries and a lot of man hours, but it hasn't failed me yet.

We are at the end of unit 4. This unit has been about the topic of plagiarism. Plagiarism is an easy mans form of work. It is just plain wrong. Everyone should be able to do his or her own assignments. If  they are given material or another idea from a source, the writer needs to give credit where credit is due. I may not be 100% on APA format, but I will give the credit deserved on all assignments.
