Class 11

It seems like this is the point in the course that everyone is scrambling trying to get everything done. Couple that with the typical year-end panic at school, and I think I am not alone in feeling just a bit overwhelmed.
I think I have completed all of the assignments, but I do want to go back now and play with them to become more comfortable. I need to keep using them because it is so easy to forget!
I have pretty much completed my paper. I mostly just have some editing to do. I did write it in Google Docs, and didn't realize there was a template for APA papers in Google Docs. Unfortunately, I didn't find the reference page very user friendly though, and the template indicated that it was not very easy to manipulate. I then went back and uploaded my references back into my original google doc that I had been sharing with Glen. Perhaps if I had originally started working in the template, it might have been easier? I do find it awkward when working in google docs, because it is just one long running document, and not broke into pages until you print it. I also miss some of the functions that I am used to using in a MS office document, but I am persevering. Maybe there are more functions in google docs that I just haven't found yet! Next class, Wednesday night I think is our final one. Where did the time go?

  1. I know what you mean about google docs Holly. I like being able to see where the page breaks are and, like you say, some of the other functions aren't there. I didn't know about the template - will check it out. I am just trying to get my paper done, this course seems to have really flown by and the end seems to have come on me suddenly!

  2. Yes, I am struggling with the citations part as well but am persevering. Have a great summer!
