It is hard to believe that Unit 8 starts tomorrow!! Last night's seminar was amazing! Lots of helpful tips to get my final paper on the right track. I have honestly never felt this good about a paper before. It is finally sinking in. I always thought that a straight forward research paper was the easiest, but now a paper that causes debate interests me. I am looking forward to reading my classmates papers because their topics are interesting. The topic that surprises me the most is bullying in the workplace. It is all over the news how bullying among children has become an epidemic. We now know where they get this kind of behavior from!! Good luck to all my classmates on success with your papers.

Hi everyone! Working hard on my rough draft this week and looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. I am enjoying reading my classmates outlines on their chosen topics. Time is flying by quickly. This class will be over before we know it. I am also currently working on another project for the class called diseases and conditions. Writing all these papers will prove to be an asset as we learn about the topics we write about. The more education we receive through these projects, the more valuable we will become in helping patients in our future careers. I still have a lot of work to do and will end my post till next week.

Hi Class. There is a brand new hospital being built down the street from where I live. It is estimated to be completed the same time I graduate from Kaplan. This piece of news has got me excited to work hard towards graduation. I honestly do not enjoy writing 10 page papers, but I am learning a lot from the topics I choose from each class. This information will stay with me for a long time. The more papers I write the easier it becomes. I enjoy reading the topics that my fellow classmates have chosen as well. In the past I have procrastinated doing the research and the end result is a sloppy paper. This time I am on the ball and want to write a good paper. I still have quite a bit of work to do so I will get to it. Good luck all until next week.

Hello everyone! I am having great success with the KU Library. I am still gathering information on my topic, which is fetal alcohol syndrome. I am still not sure what stand I will take, so my thesis is not yet done. I have been very busy traveling lately. It is a relief to know that you can just pack your laptop and continue with your school work no matter where you are. I have taken Professor Thomas's advise and I read one article a night before bed. It really does help to get through the research. I have actually started to read more than one, as I have come across a lot of information. I feel the hardest part of our paper is the research and coming up with a solid thesis. Once I have accomplished those 2 things, the rest falls in place. The thesis can help me start an outline and then the rough draft is much easier. I wish everyone the best of luck on their papers!
