...March 2015 Reflection Paper 2 I. Introduction Throughout this entire course, I have definitely received a better understanding of Scripture. Not only has my faith strengthened, God has also been working a miracle in my life. In this particular essay, my goal is to discuss the effects of prayer, as well as reconciliation. II. Part One a. Theological Definition The theological definition of prayer, according to the Web Bible Encyclopedia is “a conversation with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or mediation, but in direct address to him”. b. Biblical Foundation The words pray or prayer is mentioned in the Old and New Testament a total of 313 times. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 God even states, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” c. Practical Application Since I became a believer in 2007, I constantly have been trying to have a better prayer life. However, in November 2012, my prayer life became number one in my life. Without going into too much detail, I began dating a guy whom my parents did not approve of. During this time, when my parents’ relationship with me was shattered, God began to give me strength to seek Him with my decision as to whether or not to continue seeing this young man. I sought after not man’s wisdom, but God’s alone and over a year’s time, God began to give me an answer. Although, my family rejected me and I lost some friends...

...Proposal: What is your main argument or working thesis? My main argument in my midterm paper will be that it is important to know why your nursing major that you have chosen is worthwhile before committing yourself to it and all that it contains. While having to be intelligent, patient, and driven, nurses must also have a compassionate heart and strong work ethic. I will have three supporting ideas for my argument. _______ Why is this an important topic? What does it mean to you? Not too long ago, I was just another student at Lee County High School where labels, cliques, and social statuses meant everything. When I think back to that, I cannot help but fall on my personal life philosophy that leadership is everything- leadership is service. Nursing is so important to me because I think nurses can and should be tomorrow’s leaders in healthcare. So let me backtrack and clarify my personal life philosophy by saying it is all about giving back. It is me taking the knowledge, experience, and skills that were rightfully gained and applying them to helping others, to lead, to teach, and to inspire. My future nursing career is not about how much money I make or about who works “under” me, it is about serving others and putting people before you regardless of status, cliques, and labels. Nursing means the world to me. \What are some strategies and ideas you plan to use to argue your topic? I plan to show that nursing offers stable careers which change lives...

...- Writing Project Two Please attach to your Writing Project Two a short letter in which you tell us how you used our comments on Writing Project One to help you write and review Writing Project Two. Your letter should be specific, even quoting specific comments we gave you that helped shape your writing and revision. It should follow this format, though not this exact wording, of course: October 21, 2015 Dear Jessica Borsi, Thank you for your comments on my first paper. They were helpful as I wrote this current paper. Because of your comments I figured out that I needed to more clearly state my claims at the beginning of my paragraphs, spend more time discussing specific details that supported my points and show how those details were relevant to my larger points, and take time to careful reread and revise my paper. Your comment, "[insert quote here]," showed me [explain more about what you specifically did in this paper]. [Offer an example or develop more.] When I reread my paper, I thought about my own ethos and how you said, "[insert here]." I also remember you saying in my paper that I kept [insert more here]. This helped me to notice when I did [explain more]. [Develop more.] [Have as many paragraphs as you need to show us the work you did using our comments to guide you.] I appreciate your comments and hope that this paper better meets your expectations. I look forward to learning more as I read your comments on this writing project. Sincerely...

...Bio 173 Fisheries Biology: Term Paper Date: September 3, 2013 File: d:\B173-2013\B173_term_paper.wpd Summary You are to write a scientific term paper about a topic related to fisheries biology. Goal Ron Coleman The goal is for you to produce a term paper that illustrates that you have researched and thought in depth about a topic in fisheries biology. The term paper will tell me that you understand the important issues in a particular field and have identified the current cutting edge in that research. This paper is NOT an essay. I do not want you to explain a topic to me. I want you to discuss current research on a topic. If you find yourself including extensive background material then you are not doing the paper correctly. The paper is about the current research, not just about the phenomenon. For each of your source papers, tell me what the authors were trying to investigate, how they did their investigation, what they found and what it means. It is possible that you have never done this kind of paper before. If you are unclear about what you are doing, ask me about it. If you think that this is just like writing a typical term paper on some topic, then you are dead wrong. Most importantly, think of this as an opportunity to show me what you can do, not as something that you have to do. I want you to discover something and to share that discovery with me. Potential Topics I suggest you look at the following journals for inspiration: Science, Nature, Journal of Fish Biology...

...21st In a paper (no longer than two pages, typed, double spaced - with cover page and a fourth page that shows an image of the toy and the caption and source) reflect (you may use some of the words marketers commonly use in their ads for toys – see above) on your favourite childhood toy by adhering to these guidelines: 1. Think back to your childhood. What was your favourite toy? What made it your favourite toy? When did you decide that it was no longer your favourite toy? Why did you decide that it was no longer your favourite toy (or maybe it’s still your favourite toy – that’s OK – this paper is for my eyes only)? Why or why not? What role do you think the toy played in your childhood (social, psychological, etc.)? Note: no outside references required; text document The secret of Vegeta and my world within . May 21st, 2014 Rohith Sothilingam 120578730 What was my favourite toy What made it my favourite toy Growing up, I was a major fan of the anime show called Dragonball Z. In this show was a character known as Vegeta who had a rough persona, yet there lingered a softer side to him as well. His endearing perseverance to never give up no matter how beaten up he was proved himself to be a hero in my eyes as a child. I wanted to grow up to live up to Vegeta’s ability to stand up toward any opposition regardless of size or potential of threat. He also happened to be married to a woman named Bulma who seemed to be the only person he would show his soft...

...Center for Writing Excellence, your peer reviewer, and your facilitator? The feedback that I received from the Center for Writing Excellence, My peer reviewer, and my facilitator was positive and negative. The Center for Writing Excellence said that my paper was 46% plagiarized, and that is a serious issue in the school laws. My teacher informed me that I will need to be changing my paper and summarizing it up into my own words. She explained to me the policy of the school and how serious the offense is of plagiarism. My peer review went well and I got a lot of positive feedback from it. She said that I touched on some good points in the paper and had some good counter arguments. She also stated that there were some parts that I should leave out, or maybe rewrite, because they may chase some of the audience members away. The way that I wrote it may be too harsh for someone that is suffering from the problem, so I may need to look into rewriting some particular areas. There were also some areas that she said her and many other people could relate to, because mostly everybody has a family member that is suffering from drugs. I would say the feedback I got will be useful to help me have a successful paper. • Explain what feedback you will incorporate and what feedback you will not incorporate into your paper. Include a rationale for your choices. The feedback I got from my peer review and my teacher will all be used in a positive way to help me have a very successful persuasive...

...Transition: General Description: Alicia is finishing cooking while hosting a study session with our Student, Gabby and Quentin. She’s a bit nervous, as the in-laws are coming over that evening (on short notice). They talk about the challenges of writing for college courses. Dialogue: Alicia I’m so glad you all came over. Thanks for letting me cook during our study session. My in-laws told us at the last minute that they’re coming over later this evening, and I can really use your moral support! Gabby No problem, Alicia. Everything smells wonderful; I’m sure your in-laws’ visit will go just fine. Quentin Yeah, and I really needed this study session, too. I’m a little anxious about my current writing assignment. Maybe I can create a computer program so that my paper writes itself! I could really use some help like that. Student Text Bubble Writing for college courses sure is challenging. Gabby It’s challenging, but the reward is well worth the effort. Quentin, you should take your assignment seriously. I’ve found that, in my classes as well as in my marketing and communications field, the quality of your writing really matters. Alicia Gabby’s right. Lots of people fear the writing process, but as long as you’re enthusiastic and positive about it, you’ll be successful. And Quentin, if you need help, just use the CWE.

...Overview of Paper Requirements Dr Gehling’s INFO2070 class The paper you turn in for this iNFO2070 class must be an original work, written by you. 1 The final paper you turn in to me should not have been submitted to another instructor (at AUM or any other school) for credit in another class for a past, the current, or a potential future term. If you are currently employed, your paper should not include any information that might be considered proprietary, confidential, or might jeopardize your job, your company's competitive advantage or our national security. If you paper describes a case study (i.e. how something is done), I prefer that you not mention the company or agency involved by name unless it directly relates to specific points reported in your paper. Instead I encourage you to try to use phrases such as "a southeastern law firm (or whatever type of business)" or "a software developer located in the Southeastern United States". You should indicate industry or type of business, but unless you receive written permission, you should not name the organization/business. Contact me if you have questions. Research Topic Selection I am not asking for a long paper, but your topic should be of interest to you AND in some way relate to the various topics we are covering in this class. Remember, you are going to have to "live" with the topic for the entire semester, so do not pick something that you are not interested in or will quickly become bored with. In addition, your topic...

...Freshman Year Welcome to the Study Skills Math class. In the beginning of this class you might feel bored, but it’s going to be OK, and as the year goes on, you will get better in this class. Your experience might be little different from mine because when you come they might have the different rules. You can learn a lot from this class. It will help you get ready for your tests, exams and much more. What ever you need help with you just have to ask. The teachers are the best and they have fun with you and help you out with whatever you need. The first time I came in to study skills I thought it was like a study hall. Then when I got in this class, I saw that we had to do some work. I was like, “don’t we bring work to do?” Busted my bubble. I thought this class was going to be hard, boring and no fun, but don’t judge something until you try it. I think you will really like this class. Well Title 1 helped me understand my math problems better and now I am doing the best that I can do. It helped me study and helped me out with things that I didn’t understand. Basically it helped me get a better understanding of the different kind of problems that I had questions on. Having this class made math a little bit easier for me; I am so happy that I had this class. Title 1 has helped me as a new student to high school. At first I had a lot grade in math and reading. Now I have good grades and Title 1class helped bring my grades up a lot. During each class you will do three things...

A person in the prime adult years ( 30s- 60 ish) 3. An elderly person (60s+).Paper should be approx. 7 pages. Spend about an hour questioning each person. Take notes or tape your interviews. HOWEVER, MAKE SURE EACH PARTICIPANT WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING TAPED. Begin by describing the purpose of the interview: "I want to find out what being an X year old is like. What are your concerns at this time of life? What is important to you at this age? What are the good and bad points about your time of life? This interview is for my term paper in developmental psychology. Anything you tell me will be confidential. I will not use your name. Please feel free not to answer any questions and to conclude the interview whenever you wish”. Then give each person your consent form to sign.

...thinking about leadership. Leadership is the way to make your dreams real with the people that you are leading. I think leadership will be the most important thing in my life, because I am studying entrepreneurship and when I will be an entrepreneur my leading ability will play the biggest part of my business life. If I want to make my dreams real I need to be able to control everything around my businesses. Therefore, leadership is the way to control things around you to make your vision real. PART I: WHAT LEADERSHIP MEANS TO ME NOW, AT THE END OF THE TERM This course didn’t changed my ideas too much about the leadership, but I learned many things that I did not know about leadership from this class. On my first paper, I said “a leader should be able to speak well, because the way you speak effects the people more than everybody thinks” and “A leader should look forward and needs to plan every situation that can affect his job.” There is nothing changed about this two quotes from my first paper. I am still thinking that if you are a good speaker you can affect people around you and the words that you are using will be the meaning of your dream. So, if you can show your dream clearly to your people they will be able to follow your vision easily. Speaking is an important thing about leadership, but also this course showed me that listening is important as speaking. After this class the meaning of listening changed for me, now I am thinking that listening is the biggest way to...

Obviously you have already impressed the employer -- on paper. Now it is time to impress them face-to-face, and that means bringing your A game, or maybe your A+ game. Preparing for the interview is the very first step in the right direction towards success. Bringing your résumé and references are safe starting points, but you may not realize that there are other tools that will help you stand out. So what should job seekers bring to an interview, exactly? Here are five things that can make a difference in today's job market. 1. The "Brag Book" Scott Brent, a surgical sales representative and interviewing expert believes that the age of strict résumé and references are gone and job seekers should look to other outlets when impressing an interviewer. "Traditionally, people going on an interview would bring only a résumé and themselves to the interview," Brent says. "Those days are gone. I don't care if you are interviewing for a C-suite level job (CEO, CFO) or a job at McDonald's, what you bring to your interview is crucial. In my industry, it is called a 'brag book.' This is the most important thing you can bring to your interview. Basically this is a book you put together showcasing all of the accomplishments in your career." The "brag book" is...
