zero tolerance

These article cover the how some students have did something in school that caused the police to get involved. This students may end up going to juvenile which means some don t graduate from school so on top of the drop out rate this put an increase on the number of students who do not graduate. They may not think it but they will be affected by this in the long run running into taxes because the economy take loses when the graduating rate decreases. In the second article it wasn't little things that students did but big thing that caused them to go to jail and not to graduate still putting a hole in the economy.

plagiarism

In class we played a game where we had to find goblins, and after finding one a question popped up on plagiarism. Having four answers to pick out of you need to choose the one best fit for the question and you have to answer correctly to proceed to the next goblin. I learn that even using pictures that's isn't yours to give visuals on your work is a form of plagiarism. So you really have to be careful of the material you use.

If I could change anything about my artilce I would make it so the text is more understanding for readers to get the main point of professor McLeod studies. I would also change the way she laid out details throughout the article.

      In the article "Shitty first Drafts" author Anne Lamott basically states that everyone start off with a draft that may not be anywhere near standers. Although if you are to put a little more effort into the piece of and take your time editing and revising to come up with a better second draft you would see an increase value of the paper. After if you would have someone else with higher thinking strategies than you edit and revise also when polishing up your final draft you should notice that you will have a well written paper. So just because your first draft isn't what you expect it to be at least take the time to do one revision and justify from there.

workshop

The most useful piece of advice I received in workshop today was to use better transition words to get the reader to understand why a sentence follows one another  Overall, this workshop experience will help me improve my paper by developing a paper that flows.

 

my frist two weeks

After completing my first two weeks of apex I am proud to say that I have a every good feeling about the weeks to come. It isn't as hard as they tried to make it seem like it would be in the beginning.It takes a lot of self discipline and focus to be successful when you have so many rules and regulations to live by. I like the program and I'm ecstatic that I got the chance to be apart of. I am enjoying my experience and I'm learning what it will really take to have three more successful years of college.
