Week 13 — Final Paper

This past week I feel like I have spent a lot more time on my paper. I have made some changes. However, after reading some of the other papers, I realize mine sounds a bit choppy. This week and next I plan on re-reading and changing some words around. I will also read the comments that my peers have given and adjust where needed. Basically I want my paper to flow more and sound more professional.

My PowerPoint for my final presentation is complete. Before I have to present, I would like to continue to work on my presentation and what I want to say. I will try and time myself and see if I will be less than 10 minutes. If not, I will have to adjust my presentation where needed.

Overall, I think I have just a few minor changes to make on my paper.

Week 11/12 — What I have been working on so far…

This past week I printed out my paper and had a couple people read it over and make grammatical corrections/suggestions.  I am very grateful for having people to read over my long paper.  =)  I also did not look at my paper at all.  Usually I like to take a break from things like this in order to clear my mind.  When I go back to it, hopefully I will have a fresh view and fresh ideas for the paper.  I tend to find mistakes or new ways of wording things when I take a break from papers.  Plus, it is good to take a break every once in a while.

This week I plan on making some changes to my paper and work on my PowerPoint.  Hopefully I will have it complete or basically complete by the end of this week.  It is hard to believe that this class only has a few weeks left before we have to present! 

Also, I had mentioned my hypothetical evaluation to my department chair and she loved that I was doing this.  My school is actually starting a Resource Center next year.  It will be interesting to see what it will be like for my school compared to what I wrote about.
