Post 1: Intro to Chelsea

 Hello to you all! My name is Chelsea Evans. I'm 26 years old. Next month I will have been married for 5 years to my husband. I work at a local eye doctor office in my hometown as the office manager for about 6 1/2 years now. I am starting my first semester of college with this class on my journey to becoming a R.N. in the future. I would describe myself as a sincere, thoughtful, and very adventurous person. I enjoy traveling to new places with my family. One of my favorite places to go would be Universal Studios in Orlando. I currently have a trip countdown going for another trip to Universal Studios in the next few weeks! Traveling to new places and meeting new people gives me something to look forward to and forever memories! I look forward to reading all of your Intro's and all of the knowledge to learning to write in this English Composition class we will gain. So here's to the start of our semester together!

Post 7: MLA style for academic documents discussion

Writing in general is already a daunting task for myself. When you start to have guidelines added in such as having to use a certain format like MLA style it becomes even more so then. Forming Proper MLA style for academic documents is an area I know that I need more work in. When it comes to the MLA format within my academic paper my biggest weakest is forming the cite page. I know that I must give the sources the proper credit. I know that when adding the citations, I need to make sure I put the author, the title, the publisher, the published date, the URL, the accessed date. The part I struggle with the most though is knowing what parts need to italic and which parts should not. I double guess myself and then I am at a point of uncertainty preventing me from finishing a correct work cited page. I intend to clarify my struggles with the work cited page in MLA format for my academic papers by doing thorough research on how a proper citation is formed and the aspects of it. I can also ...

Post 08: Civil and Courteous Discussion

The thing is with the world and people now these days is everyone has an opinion. While of course most of them do not agree. One person can believe one thing while the other believes the complete opposite. Therefore, it makes situations more difficult, especially when it comes to political matters. When one feels a certain way about a matter, when presented with something that does not align with their opinion, you run into the not so civil and courteous side of people. I have seen the nasty comments people make to each other when their opinions are different. It is absolutely insane in my opinion. But hey that is just another opinion, right? Imagine a law being passed that you are totally against while someone is for it. We have no control over the law and us complaining about it is not going to help matters. It is only going to cause more separation between people. Is it necessary for us as a society to cut down on each other because you believe in something else? Everyone is entitle...

Post 12: The advantages and disadvantages of doing peer reviews.

Although peer reviews have advantages and disadvantages, in my opinion the good outweighs the bad. While peer reviews may give you fear of other writers' judgment. That fear can also be used to push yourself to apply your all and to not procrastinate when it comes to your deadlines for writing assignments. If you know that you have a peer review coming, then you're going to want to make sure you at least attempted the assignment. Afterall, can a peer review be done if you give them nothing to review? Would you rather look like a slacker with nothing? For myself that answer would be no. I rather give my peer a written rough draft to actually provide me some useful feedback. You just have to remember that your first draft is never your final draft. Peer reviews are a useful tool in writing for both the writers and readers. The point of a peer review is meant to help you, not hurt you. Learn to accept that feedback and embrace it.
