Holy S*** You Guys Write a Lot
Keep up the good work, though. This is what one of the characters on The Wire calls, "one of them good problems."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
ReplyDeletePicture posted with the HELP sign is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is how I exactly found myself, all buried under hard copies of papers and pc documents, naming all of them propsosals A,B,C....to Z. AB,AC..AZ...BB,BC,BZ..Last nite after my conference with Dr. Winter, it was finally called an ESSAY..Yeeaahhssss! I just have to cut some and reorganize and I have finally reached and found "My Golden Nugget- ESSAY- "..
Hey, Aaron, when whe turn in our completed project on 5/3, do you want a hard copy or just send it digital?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I just saw your party suggestion and there is already a reception that's held right after the presentations. I don't know if that mattters or not...
ReplyDeleteHey, Aaron, I'm reading through what's coming due, and I see the comment, "Forward your advisor's comments on your draft..." What exactly would this be? On the entire paper? I've gotten editing suggestions, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
ReplyDeleteJust read that as, "IF your advisor has commented on your draft recently, forward comments." It would be good practice to send them something around now, but those individual arrangements obviously vary.
ReplyDeleteHm... Okay, well I have some e-mails (those I haven't deleted completely from my mailbox) that I could forward.
ReplyDeleteFive Lessons Learned by Miyuki Nies (Am I right posting this here??)
ReplyDelete1 Do not expect the feedback from faculty mentor so soon.
2 Annotated bibliography is very useful to record & re-locate existing studies.
3 When you are stuck writing, read what other researchers say.
4 Learn the writing style/common vocabularies by reading researches within the discipline.
5 Writing center’s OWL (online writing lab) service is more useful and time-saving than face-to-face tutoring (to me).
Miyuki, you're a week early, but that's fine.
ReplyDeleteFive Lessons Learned
ReplyDelete1 Use the time line to keep yourself on track, it’s easy to fall behind on all the writing and rewriting….
2 As much as I HATED the annotated bibliography, it did help me organize my outline for the first draft.
3 If you get stuck writing just keep putting things down on paper, this will help you move in some kind of direction – good or bad.
4 Keep a “hard” or file copy of your best articles, journals, data – number them and then make a number note on your draft so you can refer back when necessary.
5 Have someone read your paper that is not an expert in the field - they will help you write to any audience.
American COIN practitioners still target and combat foreign agitators and insurgent supporters in concert with the Iraq citizens and native security forces fighting the insurgents domestically. - jeremiah
ReplyDeleteIt is our moral duty to become more responsible with the environment and only use resources to the extent they can maintain their ability to recover and continue to provide food for future generations.
ReplyDeleteLongest. Sentence. Ever.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this business plan is based in Iraq and speaks to the political relationship between the United States and Iraq, I will not be offering my option nor will I offer any solutions on how to make Iraq a better place with regard to U.S presents in that country.
Many rules have changed and many laws were enacted and repealed to assist people who were unable to qualify for a traditional loan.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, many employees have abused the rights granted to them, unethical use of technology.
ReplyDeleteThe literature review section of this study will look for threads in this literature that deal with questions of why these soft skills are important, what problems they solve that are critical to project success, and, if they are so important, why is it that we do not select project leadership on this criteria.
ReplyDeletePrior international experience is considered to be a significant advantage for an expatriate because an employee who has lived and worked in a foreign country is to likely to have learned strategies to adapt to new situations.
ReplyDelete1. Slowly but surely the impossible becomes possible
ReplyDelete2. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Everything is going to be okay. The stress is here for now but it won’t be later
3. Most of your peers are on the same track that you are on, and they too are slightly behind in the race
4. When you can't sleep, drink a glass of wine before you go to bed at night. A little Barefoot White Zinfandel always does the trick. Drink it in a wine glass and not a cup; it'll make you feel sophisticated and more relaxed
5. Schedule days off from work in advance. Mondays are great and keep the momentum going
Are these single quotes mentor comments?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the syllabus does say the five lessons learned is due tomorrow; but if you want them next week, that's fine too.
1. Don't put off what you can do today. Sometimes, I wish that I would have completed my studies when I was younger.
ReplyDelete2. But at times it is better to be patient, since the end result can be more suited to what you really want. Because I enrolled in the BIS program later in my life, it allowed me to collectively pull from the disciplines that truly interested me, disciplines that are more focused on my business.
3.If you feel like crying when the stress from the workload is too much, do it because it really makes you feel better.
4. If you have to reschedule important business appointments, do it, because what they have to offer can wait another day.
5. Finish what you start, otherwise it will always bother you.
Lessons Learned
ReplyDelete#1 should be: turning something in potentially early is better than turning in something potentially late, but that's too much of a gimme.
1. Set small goals and hold yourself accountable for achieving them.
2. Stress out: this is scary.
3. Actually READ the sources you find; don't just obsess over finding more. Reading takes more time than you'd imagine.
4. Don't be afraid to acknowledge your ignorance. Ask questions if you're not sure what you're doing.
5. Make a friend to guide you through.
(ps - The name for the infinity symbol is lemniscate. Just felt like sharing)
WALTER- It was great being partnered with you last nite during class. Shortly after we were dispersed from class, I drove as quickly as I could to get a dozen of spicy tuna rolls. I've thought of the sushi tuna rolls during the entire class.
ReplyDeleteI am on your side now- Let us save the TUNA!!!
Lessons Learned:
ReplyDelete1. Always always ALWAYS maintain the integrity of your research. If you hit a bump in the road, don't ignore it, bypass it, or negate it. In fact, you may be surprised how it actually aids your research.
2. Even if you have a good product from 390 and have little rewriting to do, make sure to get going on your research early.
3. If you're doing a comparative piece and you can relate to one side, be sure to include enough about the other point of view that it gives your paper integrety and balance.
4. Find a great, workable system for locating your data in all those journals.
5. Try out for the CHSS undergraduate symposium. You never know!
1. As Julie states above, find that pal to help guide you. It can make all the difference. Thank you so much, Julie.
ReplyDelete2. Develop a routine, and do your best to follow it.
3. Find a comfortable place to work.
4. Appreciate and thank the people who share their wisdom with you during this process. Do not wait until the end; do this consistently.
5. Remember, flexibility is the key to life.
Kristina's nuggets found:
ReplyDelete1. sometimes you should just stop studying it and do it.
2. choose a topic you're passionate about; it makes the work much more enjoyable!
3. Dr. Winter says "just use common sense".
4. When your writing is interrupted because you have to yell at naughty children, it's not quite the same flow when you resume: try deep breathing and remembering the kids' cute preschool years?
5. Find ways to effectively manage any OCD or over-achieving disorders; otherwise this project could land you in the loony bin
Dialogue and Inclusion programs founded on increasing awareness and critical inquiry into complex social issues, while developing conflict resolution skills and realized human agency, have a positive and measurable impact on student and teacher performance.
ReplyDeleteDue to the fact that eReader technology is still in its infancy and due to limited security controls found with the iPad iOS federal managers should try utilizing existing technologies federal managers should draw on their current telework technologies and look to extend their current offerings to the iPad device.
ReplyDeleteThis objective makes it even more important to intergrate and harmonize the efforts of both the State Department the U.S. Military and USAID.
ReplyDeleteThe entrance and hallway were divided in as far as the previous owner used different colors and
ReplyDeletethemes for the two different areas.
After I was accepted into the Green to Gold program to finish my final two years of
ReplyDeletecollege and commission as an officer, I then began to realize the difference from enlisted training and techniques and the ROTC program with future officers.
It's the quote placement:
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, performers and managers advocate relying on "war horse" compositions. Performers argue that it is in their own self interest to perform well-known pieces. Gilmore (1993) quotes a pianist as saying,, "When I play a contemporary work, [the reviewer] reviews the new piece. When I play something in the repertory [he] reviews me. Why shouldn't I play Mozart?" Not only do performers stay in the spotlight with repertory performances, but they save time as well.
Hey Jim, it's "integrate."
ReplyDeleteConsequently, in this ever-changing media environment, the conversation about ethics has become even more important in the face of unimaginable competition, globalization and the challenges posed by a slew of largely sensational content available for publication (Keeler, Brown & Tarpley, p. 53).
ReplyDeleteDialogue and Inclusion programs can have a positive and measurable impact on student and teacher performance. The best of these programs place a focus on increasing awareness, fostering critical inquiry into complex social issues, developing conflict resolution skills, and realizing agency.
ReplyDeleteBecause the eReader technology is still in its infancy, and because the iPad iOS in particular offers limited security controls, federal managers should apply existing [protocols?] to the new devices. Managers should draw on their current telework technologies and look to extend their current offerings to the iPad device.

ReplyDelete[The phrase you were looking for is "insofar as" but I think "in that" is just easier.]
After I was accepted into the Green to Gold program to finish my final two years of college and earn my commission as an officer, I quickly began to realize the differences between training procedures within the enlisted track and training procedures for future officers within the ROTC program.
ReplyDeleteA pianist who spoke to Gilmore (1993) explained the risks for performers who depart from the standard repertory: "When I play a contemporary work, [the critic] reviews the new piece. When I play something in the repertory [he] reviews me." Given this focus on the performer's technical skill in most reviews of the war horse pieces, the pianist concludes, "Why shouldn't I play Mozart?"
ReplyDeleteThe conversation about ethics has become even more important in a media environment that is constantly changing due to increased competition, globalization, and a drift toward more sensationalized content(Keeler, Brown & Tarpley, p. 53).
ReplyDelete1. Share your paper with as many people who are willing to read it but be careful if you decide to share it with you coworkers as this project may become your life.
ReplyDelete2. Don’t panic, there is plenty of time in the semester to accomplish your project.
3. Try not to judge your progress with others in your class as this may cause you to panic ;)
4. Set a time line for yourself and include some slack in case you fall behind.
5. If you are tired of working on one section of your paper, it is okay to work on others (don’t panic)
6. Yes I added a sixth, be nice to your fellow classmates…read their papers as you know what they are going through and you would love as much help as you can get!
