Good Morning,
After reading the prewriting styles I have chosen two that are more compatible to me and they are, brainstorming and informal outlining. Brainstorming enables me to just list my thoughts about the topic and the outlining keeps me a little more orgainized.
I found the reading about note taking on index cards was a great tool for me to use while I am reading my research papers. That keeps me organized with writing the cite on the top of the index card and the notes under it. For each research paper that I am using I use a certain color index card and that helps me as well.
For academic challanges up to this point I can get stressed out with trying to stay on top of the work required to maintain A's. I found out by attending college that I am somewhat of a perfectionist and really that is not a good thing. Not in my world anyway. This is my third term at Kaplan and prior to that it was forty years ago since I sat in a class room. At this point I am very proud of my accomplishments and I love being a student. I can see that every term is a little more challanging and when you can complete it with a passing grade you feel good about it.
Have a great day!

Wow Deborah forty years! You should be very proud of yourself and there is nothing wrong with pushing for A's in every class. I also love being a student and learning all that I can learn. Even with the challenges of being a student you have to stay focused and push through because in the end you will have your own reward of accomplishing your goals.
