The Capella Writing Center is a great asset when determining how to aligned and develop my paper.

Self-Assessment

The self assessment helped me refresh many of the skills I have become too comfortable with to further advance. Beginning with Bloom’s Taxonomy, the course introduced a different perspective and purpose behind individual approach to research and literary production (Persaud, 2018). How the resources provided are viewed can dictate an individual’s approach and perspective on what is considered ethical and credible. The goal behind doctrine level writing may different but should follow a certain construct to retain its integrity. The Writing Assessment reminded me to remain open to credible sources, refresh my APA formatting and to utilize said sources in a manner that reflects *excellence.

Discussions, Thus Far

The discussions have been interesting and have made me think, more than I expected. I almost feel ashamed for not expecting this level of intuitiveness from the course given the expectations of a doctrine degree. Sometimes courses only seem to address content from one perspective, giving me a falsified sense of “what to expect”. The very way the course has addressed simple ideas and questions has pushed me pass my current understanding of psychology and into a realm where I, once again, wish to know more or see the outcome. It has been a while since I was this intrigued by a course’s discussions, especially one centered on writing.

Feedback

Last week’s feedback should have been my biggest concern for this week’s response. Proofreading has always been one of my greatest disappointments as my process for review has been flawed for a while now. I will often begin by writing a great paper and verifying my points have been met. Each section is written and proofread as I scribe them. In many cases, particularly when adjustments are made, I forget to reproof the changes made. When rushing, I often continue to my next section without notice. As a result, when done, I now have an extensive number of pages which need to be reproofed (again) and small issues may slip through the crack such as wording, phrasing, punctuation, spelling or correct dictation. Remembering the goal and purpose of doctrine level writing and the feedback will support a more apprehensive approach to my proofreading on a continuous level.

Smarthinking

I have not yet submitted my Discussion 3 or 4 to Smarthinking yet but I will do so once I have proofed my Unit 4 Discussion again, per the instructor feedback received. I would like an additional review of my post but not with what I already understand as an issue. I would like to correct these mishaps first and then utilize Smarthinking to evaluate my writing skills. Improvement is my goal and my writing is now beginning to develop based on the purposes selected during composition. This course has shown me that my writing can be more than a grade when applying the correct method for presentation. The creation of viable sources is also a goal I plan to achieve.

Important Aspects

Three aspects I find important in writing are: integrity (as it relates to honest and credible sourcing), alignment (content and purpose) and flow. Capella offers many resources to assist into the development of my writing style and skills. Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Is a document, available for download, detailing the need for honest and productive writing. Many organizations will offer similar resources as guidance to how research should be approached. This form of assistance helps provide a constant and accessible resource on the policy as well as a statement of Capella’s dedication to the credible application of writing. The Capella Writing Center is a great asset when determining how to aligned and develop my paper. Coupled with resources such as Capella Library, Youtube and Google, locating references, guides, research and data is seamless easy and comprehensive. The articles found within the Library and podcast located on Youtube also assist in how the flow of doctrine level writing is completed. Graduate Savvy has supported many of my formatting concerns while concepts like Bloom’s Taxonomy And Ruscio’s discussions of pseudoscience have helped shaped how my research should be used in order to retain the balances* necessary to produce credible primary and secondary sources of content (Persaud, 2018).
