49ersfan02: Welcome statement

49ersfan02: Welcome statement: "Hi class this is my first time ever writing a blog, but im open minded to trying new things. As you can tell I like football and my team is ..."

Hey! I love the 49ers too,but it's been awhile since I've seen very many of their games. Back in the day, they were my favorite Pro team and I think I bet on them during the superbowl. Lol

Degree Bound: Degree Bound

Degree Bound: Degree Bound: "This is my second attempt at this class and blog. I dropped the class last term due to plain old insecurity. I am looking forward to com..."

I am having difficulty learning this whole blog thing. That's the main reason I dropped this class last term. My techno ability is evidently zippo!! Ha Ha!! I am truly trying.

I write for the local newspaper and need this class desperately. I know newpaper articles are a little different from professional class writings. I have to admit I unknowingly plagerized some in a couple of articles just from not the proper paraphrasing and that is embarressing to me, now that I am learning the proper way of handling it. For a novice writer, I can't wait to hone my skills for a more professional look and read.

I know giving credit where credit is due is so important and the last thing I want to do is take credit for someone else's work.

I see the importance of proper research and the development process of a thesis statement. I discovered just because you have a great idea for a paper some topics just do not have enough research to back them up.
