...Traditional and Online School: The Choice of Success Have you ever thought of the endless career opportunities derived from a college education? Are you happy with your current financial situation? In a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, involving young adults age 25-34, as of 2009 the median annual earnings of an individual with a high school diploma or equivalent was $32,900, while a person with a bachelor’s degree averaged $51,000 per year. With the potential of a 45 percent increase in annual wages, the obvious question is when to start college and where to go. Professional growth is dependent upon education; regardless of current life status, both online and traditional educations provide a variety of possibilities to suit all individual needs. It is important to understand that traditional schools require their students to maintain a set classroom schedule; this can consist of multiple days a week with set class schedules ranging from one hour to 3 hours. The amount of students per class varies, depending on the class structure, each course starts on a specific date set forth by the college campus. Attending class in a traditional school requires the student to go to class on campus, while this provides a stable set schedule for students; daily life provides obstacles for some people that will not make this possible. Online schools generally begin courses more often than traditional schools making...

...Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder Stephanie Feeser COM/155F3 August 25, 2013 Judith Rottsolk Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder Not every disability is visible by looking at a person. Imagine living in a world surrounded by many people yet feeling alone, flawed, damaged, and unable to function in society. A patient suffering from mental illness can have these feelings every day. Education is the key to understanding mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Even though Schizophrenia and BPD share similar symptoms, they are often confused and misunderstood. There are a large number of similarities between BPD and Schizophrenia. Studies have shown that there is a genetic link with both mental illnesses. Childhood trauma, such as physical, sexual, and mental abuse, is a common history for patients with these diagnoses. Neglect of a child has negative effects that last a lifetime. The neglect causes symptoms such as inappropriate mood control, fear of abandonment, and attachment issues. No matter the history, whether it is genetics or abuse, facts show mental illness is prevalent. People who suffer from mental illness have a hard time functioning daily. Individuals with mental illnesses suffer from poor self-esteem and isolate themselves when they are in crises. Patients with these illnesses have contemplated, attempted or were successful with committing suicide. One in ten...

Nine weeks that I’ve been in school again thinking and challenging myself and learning about a variety of new things. These last nine weeks have reminded me about the long term effects that higher education will have on my future employment and current job.

...Week 9 Assignment Com/155 2. My final assignment in Com/155 is to analyze two paragraphs, written by two unknown writers; I chose paragraphs three and four. In each individual paragraph, the writers’ attention is on informing the reader about the various processes associated with credit. In paragraph three, the writer began his or her text, by giving examples as to why a person is not eligible for credit. It further explains in the text that upon denial, you would receive a letter from the Fair Credit Reporting Act, documenting the terms of its refusal. Paragraph four opened up by acknowledging that most consumers understand the security and stability of a good credit score; the text further explained the process involved in calculating a credit rating. The writer of paragraph three, style of writing appeared choppy and fragmented; the writer was very repetitious in his or her use of words. Paragraph four lacked the necessary purpose to support the content with in the text. Both paragraphs were affective in there individual ideas, of informing the reader about the do and do not, in regards to obtaining and maintaining credit; still there were some unanswered questions. Paragraph three is the more informative of the two, having purpose, giving examples of why one is denied credit, and content, informing you on the letter...

...Write a paragraph (200-250 words) of instructions on the writing process for future COM/155 students or inexperienced academic writers. When writing a paper many need to follow instructions to complete the whole essay. These seven little steps can help tremendously. First, thing you have to decide a topic for your paper. You should think about the paper you are expected to produce. The next thing to do is to create an outline for your paper. When you create an outline you are putting your ideas about the topic, this outline will be changed more than once and that is a good thing. After, writing your topic and doing an outline you should write your thesis statement. Your thesis statement tells the reader what the essay will be about and what point you will be making. Then you should start on the body paragraphs, in the body paragraphs they need to include all of your main points, and your sub points. Each body paragraph should include supporting points, which elaborate on each main idea. The next two you should do is start on your introduction and your conclusion. When writing the introduction you need to attract the reader’s attention. Then you need to add more sentences with the attention grabber, and then finish strong with your thesis statement. Now write your conclusion, it sums up all of your points and doing your final perspective about your topic. The conclusion needs about three or four sentences to finish your paper strong. When looking throughout these steps they may...

...University of Phoenix COM/155 University of Phoenix COM/155 When most people are asked what they think of South Africa compared to the United States, the most common response that is given is that South Africa is a desert like the remaining continent of Africa is; this is as far from the truth as possible. Would you have ever thought that two countries could be so similar yet so different at the same time? South Africa is as up in the technology world as the United States is; if not further along to some degree. It is known to have the largest research association of great white sharks off of any coast. Although the United States and South Africa have several similarities, they are also quite different because the United States has a lower violence and poverty rate than South Africa. One similarity between the Unites States and South Africa is that they are a huge melting pot of ethnicity and race, that had to fight for what they believed was right between the higher percentages of races. Both countries races consist of whites, blacks, Asians, and Indians. But there is a huge difference in the race percentages’, according to "Race and Ethnicity in the United States" (n.d.), the majority of the more than 300 million people currently living in the United States consists of White Americans, who trace their ancestry to the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In South Africa, black's makeup 79.0% of the total population ("Ethnic Groups in South...

...Final Assignment Misty White COM/155 University Composition and Communication I 1/16/11 Paul Neuhausen Final Assignment I think that paragraph five is an example of more effective writing than paragraph one. In paragraph one the sentences are very short. It is very hard to see were the writer is going with this paragraph. All of the sentences sound the same. I can get lost trying to rearrange the sentences as I read so I can get the writers point. Paragraph five is the total opposite. I had no problem getting what the writer is trying to say. The paragraph flowed smoothly from beginning to end. The first sentence leads way to the next and throughout the paragraph. The writer used sentence variety by asking questions and grabbing the readers’ attention. Theirs one thing that I would change about paragraph five is the last sentence; I would use something that does not sound the same as the first sentence. Paragraph five I think is the best written of the two. In the feedback from WritePoint there were many suggestions on my final paragraph. One of the suggestions was in my first sentence, I used the word “feel” to describe what I think of the difference between the two paragraphs that I reviewed; Writepoint gave me a clearer writing suggestion saying,“ if “feel” is used in the sense of “to believe or think”, it is a cliché and vague; use believe or think.” I think that this is a great suggestion. I was trying to have variety in my words but “feel” is...

...Katherine Cole COM 155 Write a 150 to 200 word paragraph describing the steps of your current writing approach. For example, how do you approach writing an assignment for a class? In addition, outline the ways your process differs from or is similar to the writing process outlined in your texts. This paragraph should follow the structure of an effective paragraph. Underline the topic sentence and bold the concluding sentence in the paragraph. Use complete sentences. Post your assignment, Review the additional resources I will be taking the time to explain my current writing approach. The first thing that I do is make sure I have a quiet area to work in and a sound mind so that I can focus on my writing. I usually use my laptop to write because pen and paper makes me nervous. I begin writing what I know and like to discuss, which is called discovering and brainstorming. Then after I have discovered and brainstormed, I begin narrowing down what I want to write about such as: Topic sentence and supportive details. After finalizing my topic sentence, I move forward and compose my rough draft. By drafting what I have written, it allows me to add thoughts and to subtract the unnecessary supporting details. Then after I have done that, I revise the draft by rearranging ideas and reshaping sentences to make a smooth and flowing paper. After carefully examining the paper to see if it contains any errors of grammar, spelling, or punctuation for the last time, I then proceed to write...
