Mostly because the directions were never consistant on what form the papers should be written in . One part said a report and the next part said essay… huh??? how am I supposed to determine what’s right and what’s wrong?

I’ve got a bad feeling that I’ll be getting them back for lots of revisions! I’ll let you know the outcome.

It wasn’t bad, because it was essentially two papers that we had to write. The hard part is down the road where we take the test, but you know WGU has been pretty good so far as in making you study what you need to know. And it’s not like you’re really studying, because you’re researching information on your papers, so of course you’re going to retain more info. That’s not trying to say we won’t be studying, but you get the gist of it.

Other than that, that’s all I gots to report on. I’m gonna enjoy my coffee and let my belly settle from my awesome egg breakfast.

Pretty much all week we’ve been reading & doing the soft skills tests to get prepared to start writing the two essays. The softskills is just another system that WGU uses to help it’s students become familiar with the course content. I have to say I enjoy those more then reading the book itself. While reading I found my mind wondering onto other things. :)

The first essay we had to write was an opinion piece based on a given situation of a company who does have a very good social responsibility to the surrounding community. I found this paper really hard and could feel myself struggling to find the words to convey what I was trying to say. Of course this is an area that continually stumps me. I’m not to happy with it, but I’ve beat myself up over it long enough… I’m going to submit it and see what I get.

The second paper wasn’t really an essay. We had to come up with a code of ethics for our pretend company, a training course, system for monitoring, system for auditing, pathways of reporting violations, and a plan to review/update the code.  I am really proud of how this paper turned out and can’t wait to see what grade I get.

We’ll let you know the outcome! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
