Unit 6 Posting

Over the course of this class, I have been struggling with managing life and school. I slacked off last term and got behind on my courses and I ended having to repeat one. I have learned from that experience. I am worried that the two weeks we have off for Christmas break that when we return I may slack off some also. In my topic, how prisons deal with mentally ill inmates I have found all the policies but not what actually happens. My husband who works for a prison told me what actually happens with them but since I cannot use him as a reference I cannot use him information. If anybody finds some articles to help me, feel free to share them.

Week 5 Posting

My person writing process is brainstorming, outlining, first draft, review, and final draft. The challenges I face academically are none. Sometimes, my life gets too stressful and it affects my school work but other than that. School influences my priorities in life a lot. I have to prioritize when I can work on my schoolwork since I have a 1 yr old son.

Week four posting

I think that we need to cite our sources, since the information does not belong to us. I know if I wrote a publication and someone used the work without giving me credit, I would be mad. If someone used something I created without giving me credit, I would be mad. I might even sue the person depending on the case. Issues of plagiarism should be handled delicately and sternly. The Internet used to blur the lines of 'legally owned' but now they give credit to the owner. For example, if you watch a music video on YouTube you will see the copyright of the producers.
