Bradley7065Fall08

I am so happy that I have created my first Blog. This is better than I ever imagined. This first class has exceeded my expectations for any class that has a title pertaining to writing. Who would have thought a few days ago that we would be using avitars and entering virtual worlds as part of "professional writing"? Thanks to Dr. Miller for addressing our hopes and fears for what will likely be the last writing class of our professional schooling career.

The class breathed a collective sigh of relief when we learned that we would finally have some training in the ways of APA. We also were elated at the prospect of continuing to refine and find our voice for our respective dissertation topics. The writing assignments do appear to be time consuming, but I know now that we will have the support and encouragement from each other to make this a successful class for the entire cohort.

This class will certainly be a change from the class prior to it. We will have to change gears quickly to be mentally ready for the challenges that both classes will present.
