Unit 10 Post

My advice on writing a scientific paper for the first time is to take your time pay attention to what you are wanting to say, pick a topic that you have little or no opinion over. Make sure you follow the directions from your instructor.Pay very close attention to which format you need to use when writing your paper. I have never used APA format before, so to me this was confusing. Well to be honest in high school I never had to use any kind of citations. Now that I am at Kaplan University I have to use them on everything I do unless it comes straight form myself. I do not know if anything strengthened in the past 10 weeks during this course, but I did have fun. In the improvements area, I feel that there are lots of things that I could use improvement on. For example, using APA format, I could diffidently use some improvements on this, but I am still learning APA format.

I feel very nervous about my paper, to be honest. While I was researching and writing the paper I was confused and frustrated with it. The reason for this is because I have never done a scientific paper before. My idea of writing is different than what is was before because now I know that if the ideas were not my own I need to cite the information for the credit to go to the person that the idea belongs to. In high school I never knew I was suppose to do that. Now I know the truth, and the reasons why we do cites and in text citations. It is still confusing to me to do the end cites but I feel I am getting better at them.

I have had several issues during this process. I did not have internet to connect to of my own, I was having to use my friend's and when I would let her know that I needed to come over to do homework, she would be like okay I will be there to get you in a few minutes and then she would never show up. Then I was given to code to my husband's friend's internet connection but I had to be outside to even connect to that internet. I will admit there was days I just did not want to go outside because it was just too cold. But now I am at my mom's and have unlimited access to internet. Thank goodness my professors are working with me on getting things done and turned in. If it was not for them understanding my situation then I do not know where I would be right now.

I have never done peer reviews before, and because of complications I did not get a chance to do them again. I have had several "Ah Ha" moments while doing my research for my paper. I have found out that one of the main medicines used to help with depression and anxiety is fluxotine or Prozac, which is what my oldest son was on. Just sbout everything I found during the research process was intriguing to me.
