Re: Unit 9 Discussion: Most Beneficial Resources

Two resources that I reviewed for the Unit 9 assignments were particularly helpful to me. First, I enjoyed browsing through the OWL website and reviewing the many PowerPoint examples that are available there. The sheer volume of information will provide excellent guidance throughout the seminary experience. Setting a bookmark for this page would be beneficial to any student so that it can be easily accessed when questions arise. Secondly, I enjoyed reading the article by Michael Gilmour entitled, What Do I Have to do to Get and “A” on this Paper? His elaborations on the restrictions of using the first person were very helpful to me. Without a doubt, this is a shortcoming in my writing! The instruction on the use of colloquialisms was also very beneficial, although I generally am not guilty of using them. His method of highlighting his own mistakes in writing the article was interesting and focused my attention directly on the part of the paper he was referencing. This has been a very informative week that I believe will pay dividends as through the educational process.
