A College Comp Success Story

Hello Everyone, I have to say that I am really going to miss this class. I learned so much. I feel that I have become a better writer because of this class. Comp I was a good class and it helped me prepare for Comp II. However, Comp II allowed me to express my thoughts through blogging. I also found that the reading material for this class really helped me in writing my draft,and is helping me in revising my final paper. Once I enter my chosen profession in the medical field, I am sure that everything I have learned in this class will benefit me. I have also enjoyed all of my classmates. To Professor Feraldi: You have so much knowledge to offer rising Kaplan students. You did a really good job teaching Comp II and I enjoyed having you as my professor.It was also nice to have a Professor that actually cared about her students doing well in the class. I am sure that each of your students will take a piece of the knowledge that you shared with them into their chosen profession. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your encouragement.

Cruising through Comp II

Hello Everyone, I am a very happy student. Now that my paper is almost done, there is some sense of relief. I have a much better grade in this class than I had last semester in Comp 1. It is amazing and it is a great feeling. I have to admit that before the draft was due, I was nervous. I always get a little nervous when it comes to writing because it is not my strongest subject. However, I was very pleased with the grade that I received on my draft. Now that the draft is complete and words have already been typed up I feel a lot more at ease. The only thing left to do now is to add a few more pages of text, add an abstract,then revise to complete the final paper. I feel like the hard part is finally over and that I am cruising along in Comp II. I cannot believe that the end of the semester is almost here!

A Faithful Blogger?

Hello Friends, The question of the day is "Will I continue to blog after this course"? Well, I honestly have to say that I probably will not. I will go on periodically to look at my fellow classmates blogs but very seriously doubt if I will actually continue blogging. Just like Professor Feraldi, I have a facebook profile and I spend a lot of time on facebook posting. I also have a myspace account that allows you to post blogs as well. I have posted several blogs on my myspace account. I enjoy going back reading old blogs and myspace has a pretty easy format when it comes to blogging. I have enjoyed blogging about the topics given in this class but unfortunately, blogging is becoming extinct these days.

Peer Reviews

How do I feel about peer reviews? Well, I've never had to do a peer review believe it or not. I actually do not have a problem with it though. I think peer reviews give someone other than the writer a opportunity to voice their opinion on the paper that is being written. I would not have a problem with someone giving their opinion on my paper. Another person's constructive criticism or opinion could help me become a better writer. There may be something that my peer could point out in my papper that might give me knowledge on how to improve my paper. I feel the same with me voicing my opinion on another peer's paper. I may be able to offer my peer some valuable information that could help them improve on their paper. However, I do feel that in peer review we should all give feedback and constructive criticism in a very respectful way. I just think of peer review as a way of getting helpful feedback on an assignment. I never take anything personal. I just grow from what my peer has to offer.
