Post 19: Problems with outside sources

My problem I have with outside sources is that after finding the credible source. I quote it in my work and tend to forget to add my own opinion after the quote like when Stedman states "As if you had just read an interesting quote... you want to hear more of his opinion... but its too late (I) moved on." I used to have that problem and still do occasionally but now I catch the problem and fix it. In my doc one I had made that mistake ending a paragraph with another Professors quote on writing formats stating that, "Those systems are usually promoted as a way to make academic way to standardize writing...I have trouble understanding it." I originally ended that paragraph without my own opinion and without a transition but I caught it after I took a break from the paper.

    I use to do that too, I didn't know it was wrong. I think is very common in people who is learning to write academic papers

    I also can relate but instead of not stating my opinion, i tend to use way too many quotes and depend of the usage of it so sometimes i feel like I’m depending on quotes and not really stating how exactly i feel.

Brian Pham Introduction

Welcome everyone! My name is Brian Pham and I am currently majoring in Health Sciences. My objective for this semester is to pass this class with flying colors and I hope everyone has somewhat a similar goal. I've started making changes to my work ethics so that I could be more consistent with doing my assignments on time and not cramming the night before. I'm looking forward to working with you all and let us finish this semester strong.

Post 10: Exercise

Exercise has been my passion and a healthy hobby that I have invested in for the past two years. I started the summer before my junior year started in high school. I had relatives come visit me and then talked me into trying some of the workouts they did and showing me how to properly do them for maximum results. I loss ten percent body fat the results I had were incredible. I kept working out and joined a weight lifting class to help me become stronger. For Christmas my parents got me a gym membership and from their on I learned more types of workouts from personal trainers and power lifters. As of today I still keep working out even with my busy schedule I try to find an open time to devote to the gym so I don't lose all the progress I have made over the past two years. I plan to keep exercising until my body can no longer function properly and to keep spreading fitness knowledge to others who plan on trying to workout.

Post 22: Peer Review

Peer review is has multiple aspects that are good and bad. You may have some classmates that can point out simple mistakes in your writing that you blindly skip over. This tends to happen a lot to me but thank goodness I messed up in front of my peers instead of my professor as points won't be deducted from my paper. On the bad side of things our peers don't have credentials backing them up like our professors do with their degrees so, sometimes people just ignore what peer review you tell them and don't bother fixing their own mistakes.
