Section 110 for me

A different one for me too - section 143. The TA has already posted tips for Wks 1 & 2. That's double the communication that the TA for 335 posted for the whole five weeks.

Still, there's a lot of work, which will be a bit difficult since I'm traveling on business again all this week. May need to set my grade sights a bit lower for this one.

I STILL make stupid mistakes and pay for them. Last paper I accidentally capitalized the words "running head"...... 1/2 point mistake takes 2 1/2 points off the grade!! It's insane.....

If it's any consolation, I lost one full point last term for using Arial font on the references and Times New Roman for the body. Dropped the grade on the paper 5 points.

How annoying! I emailed the TA and expressed my disappointment in how more emphasis is placed on APA format instead of content. She was very nice and basically said it's important and will help prepare me for the masters program. Helloooo....no plans on doing a masters program!!!

In the words of my high school football coach: "Don't think - React!"

I'm in section 128, and no communication at all yet from our TA. All my other classes, something has been posted in EPIC or via outlook email by this time. This should be fun if this is any indication of how the class is going to go...

Has anyone looked through the course content on this class? I have .... module 5 - develop a long care plan related to caring for the aging client. **&&^%$ ---- NANDA!!!!! Just kill me now. I haven't written a care plan in ^&^%%$$%# years

Did you see they post everything you need to write the diagnosis for your patient? In the resources section and section 4 or 5 I think.....It'll be fine!
