Scientific papers

Writing a scientific paper is a long process.  The first thing I would tell a person writing their first scientific paper would be DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!  If you are having a hard time finding enough material chance are it will not be argumentative and the length of the paper will be hard to reach.  My paper had a lot of information I could write about, but it also was hard as to not repeat myself.  Gluten free means gluten free and once you know what gluten is what else is there to explain.  Second make sure you have people read your paper as they have fresh eyes.  They are going to be able to see mistakes or areas in which you can expand on.  It is a nice feeling when you are done. 

Im just plain Tired

This term has just wiped me out.  Between the health problems of my daughter and starting my new job as a case manager for the state of Oregon. I have learned a lot this term from writing and anatomy.  I am glad I have made it through this term and I am really looking forward to the break.  I enjoyed this class and I do believe I have learned to like writing just a little more than I used to.  I wish everyone the best.

Peer reviews

I think having the reviews I had from my peers has helped me a lot.  I have been able to edit my paper much more effectively, as they are able to see things I was not able to being so close to the paper.  I just wish I could remember the comma rules.  I have always had a problem with remember when a coma, semi colon or any other form of punctuation is appropriate.  I have reviewed it a lot and I am still reviewing it as one day perhaps it will sink in.  I am glad we did peer reviews as it gives you additional feed back that is not just from the professor.
