D13, HW3, Writing Reflection

The steps I took to complete this project was mainly research! I did a lot of research to come up with a lot of good sources to write a well-rounded paper, avoiding the bias opinions. I found out a lot of interesting statistics as well. Large-scale revisions was also another step taken to complete this project. I would like to have more peer reviews however. I think they are very helpful and maybe having some peer editing on the intro and conclusion separately would be helpful. I am definitely proud of the amount of time and effort put into the entire project. I have never really worked on one project so long, with all of the research and such. I really learned a lot with research in general and look forward to implying these later on. I really worked on trying to link the different paragraphs together better, using more transitions.

D13, HW4, Writing Project Reflections

The writing reflections help with summarizing the entire process in completing that specific writing project. By looking at the different reflections I can see not only how I advanced in my projects, but also my growth in different areas, like research and actual writing. Using these reflections, I can create a strategy to continue my advancement in research and writing, which can all be placed into my final reflection.

D13, HW6, Deadline Reflections

The deadline reflections are helpful because it really gives an entire capture on that week's deadline. Using these from day 1 to now, it will show my progression and room for improvement in overall projects. For instance, I usually talk about how much I procrastinated, so I know that that is an issue when looking at all of them in whole. That can be used in a strategy to help my current growth and improvement.

D13, HW5, Reading Reflections

Since the final reflection letter needs to be about progress and growth, taking a look at past writings and to the most present will help me develop a strategy to improve further. I will be able to see how well I have progressed, if any at all, and to make sure I continue progressing.

D13, HW1, Grammar Assignment

I chose to learn more about hyphens from The Owl at Purdue. I learned a few things I did not know about them, for instance, you "use a hyphen to join two or more words serving as a single adjective before a noun." Using this, I revised 2 paragraphs adding hyphens when possible. Some places that could have used one though, I still did not because I did not want to have an overkill.

According to the IC3, 4447 of those complaints were in Arizona alone in 2006. Two-percent were identity-theft alone. However, 71.1% of those reported a monetary-loss, with a medium-loss of $1374.19. Other crimes such as credit card fraud and check fraud had higher numbers, but usually have some sort of correlation with identity-theft after excessive use.

Some agree the government needs to step-up and help fight the battle of identity-theft over the Internet. However, there are also a group of people who think the government should be left out of the Internet all together because it is an invasion of their privacy. If the government steps in to protect the internet, they will have to protect more than just identity-theft. For instance, if the government were to lock-down websites so they had to have a special key issued out by the government to be able to sell products online, this would pose a threat as to who is the one responsible for whether one business is truly more legit than another.

D12, HW9, Deadline Reflection

There was a lot work this week so I was kept busy. The larger revisions helped a lot and I think I definitely am making my paper stronger, much stronger than it was. Reviewing other's papers made me realize how important proofing was and I do not do it as often or as thorough as I should.
