How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?
I like peer reviews but I'm kind of confused on it. I think I need to re-read Unit 7 in order to fully understand a little more. Because I need to know this!
Discuss any “Ah Ha” moments you have had during the writing process or in your research.
When I mess up and did a lot of typos, as well as a "Ah,ha" when I remembers something I read before and fit into my paper so great :]
Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?
Yes, the whole thing about how coffee can prevent cancer is just mind blowing. But some information didn't come to me as a surprise such as how soda can led to obesity.
Look at your peers’ blogs and link to one of their responses in your own take on the idea.
When I looked at Roberts I could tell that hes serous about school and about the blog assignments that we have for this class.

Unit 6 Blog
Share what you have personally been dealing with the last six weeks.
These last six weeks have been great, I'm learning all that I can learn in order to pass and understand things that are needed to be understood. But on the other hand Kaplan University doesn't seem to leave a student alone and for the reasons you don't need to be called for.. All day I get calls from Kaplan University and when I email my financial aid officer they never apply. Since in the past I was kicked out of Kaplan because of paper work and due to the fact that Kaplan seems to not like reading emails and have a certain department call twice and day when you already spoken to them about an issue and they will tell you they'll get on it; they actually done. So basically it's stressful and gets in the way A LOT.
Consider how your ideas about your topic could be influential in later research.
Later on when I look back to all my saved work from this class I can reread what I'm drinking and putting into my body. My topic is about caffeine. I like coffee not so much soda but Coffee is delicious! While researching I don't seem to get any of the side effects or withdrawal people tend to get from drinking caffeine which is a good thing right?

Unit 5 Blog
Discuss your personal writing process and see what others have to say about your style-
My personal writing process is what I talked about in this weeks discussion. I like to use free-writing and brainstorming as well as Listing too. This is the way that I've been writing about for years and It have never failed me yet! I'll continue to use this technique for years on each writing assignment and everyday life.
If there was one thing about your academic challenges, what would it be? -
I would say that sometimes I use the same words over and over while writing on the discussion board or the seminar 2 option. and sometimes I misspell words wrong when I'm in a rush as well as when I re-read what I wrote; Sometimes I don't notice that it didn't make sense or there is a typo. I guess since this is online college that typing is different and mistakes are always made. This also applies to real world writing as well. I'll sometimes write something out while listing to music or TV and actually write what I'm hearing by mistake.
How is school influencing your life at or up to this point?
School is influencing me at this point because I know for a fact that I'll need an education and degree in order to stay with a job or get a job to begin with, I'm so happy. that I don't have to actually attend on ground classes because I'm not the type to be into going to class and learning there, I like the idea that I can stay up all night and complete my work and actually learning compared to being distracted or rushing to complete an assignment that was giving to complete in less than an hour.
