Well, I am completed with two and a half weeks of my class. I need to be working on the research and assignment that is due tonight, but I wanted to take some time to update you on where I am at.
Previously I mentioned that I had planned to strive for a B, but might as well work towards an A. I am still on that path. After two weeks of assignments, I have a 97. It seems that every assignment I turn in has something wrong so I lose one or two points. It has been a little frustrating. I have spent the past two years writing using APA 5th edition. That is the edition that is still acceptable for me to write in because of when I started the program. The problem is that some of the students in my class are new to the program and are under the 6th edition. So, to make it easier, the professor is grading using APA 6th edition. Although they are very similar and almost identical, only being one edition off, there are minor things that are different. So when I reference my 5th edition guide, I am sometimes wrong. I guess that is okay, because by the time I am finished with this class, I will be used to the 6th edition. My gripe about it is that while it is only one or two points here and there, that gives me fewer points I can miss in the end to make my A.
The class is going well otherwise. I am exhausted, but getting through it. Still have my A and hope that the next five weeks will bring fewer errors and more points. The bright side, I am two weeks done.
