Unit 6 blog posting- June 16, 2010

Hello everyone, I am just sitting here trying to figure out again about this blogging, hopefully it goes into my correct blog. I am sharing with you what I have learned or personally been dealing with in the six weeks so far. I have learned quite a bit of information such as how to use the library, and maneuver around in it. I have alot to learn and experience with the online library yet but I know now how to come up with different area to do research. When I first started learning about thesis statements I had a heck of a time, but we just have to remember to know what is involved in a thesis statement. Your thesis statement should be in the introduction of your paper, and should involve the main points of your paper, what you are going to talk about. Learned also how to do citations, references and also what plagiarsm involves and that it is a very serious offense which could lead to a lawsuit. Also learned about prewriting strategies and how to use them to generate ideas for my first draft. The most difficult thing that I am dealing with now is citatations and references, and how to do proper APA formatting.

I think that my ideas about this topic will help me not just to know about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome but what it is actually about. I am studying to go into Medical Assisting so whatever helpful information I can get about a medical problem the better off I will be. If I should ever come across in my field of work someone that is pregnant and has problems with alcohol I will be able to inform them and let them know of the risks associated with drinking while pregnant.
