I was unable to attend the Wednesday, September 11th
web conference due to technical difficulties, but did get an opportunity to
listen to recording. I think that it
ended up being a better usage of my time after hearing about the technical difficulties
that Dr. Borel experienced in displaying the content for the web conference. The first half of the conference was very
helpful in providing some helpful hints for the APA portion of this week’s
assignment. While I am not new to the
APA method of citing and referencing works, I still learned a lot and was able
to form more of a holistic explanation for how to cite and reference works. I was particularly surprised when I learned
the difference between when to use the actual word “and” and an ampersand. The second half of the conference was
definitely of equal if not greater importance. Dr. Borel discussed how to approach writing
the required sections of our Action Plan Research report. Again, Dr. Borel’s verbiage, delivery and
quite frankly, her honestly and realistic understanding of the tasks that we as
students have to actually do is the best part of these web conferences. She, as well as the written exchange between students
in the chat log helps immensely as serves as the encouragement that I need to
be successful and balance the roles I play as a student, my professional career
and in my personal life.
