My boss where I work part-time had asked me to type out an employee handbook for her and the daycare last week. She had an outline of what she wanted to write but it was my job to correctly format everything and to make it look professional. I had to type about 7,000 words and it took up 24 pages after formatting.
This made me feel really proud of being a student at Kaplan because I had mentioned that I had just finished a course about Microsoft Office, and I am currently in my second composition class. Someone is finally recognizing my hard work and dedication! Well, I know my friends and family are proud also-- but it is a different kind of feeling of accomplishment when a professional in the work force notices! J
For my College Composition II class, I am learning about writing an outline. I have seen several different styles on how to write an outline, from formal, informal, and another new one my professor told us about tonight in seminar was: Classical Greek Method for Building an Argument. I think the Greek method will be most helpful because it shows specifically how to write an argument. I will probably incorporate both though, because I like my ideas to be well organized, and a formal outline helps with that.
I have really been enjoying this class! This time I chose a topic for my final paper that had a lot of information to potentially research, but also something that I was interested in and wanted to learn more about. Regardless of the ethical debate surrounding the issue, there is science behind it that needs to be researched. I could go on for longer about embryonic stem cells, but I am not quite done my research, I want to make sure I have articles with very good information, and I’ve had to go back and change a few since doing some pre-writing. I am excited for tomorrow since I will be working on it most of the day! I will keep you guys updated.
