Dear Ms. Fisher:

When I first started typing papers at the beginning of this semester, my structure was really off, I would automatically go and result to typing a five paragraph format. I also would almost always have run on sentences and never really used periods which was a problem. Instead of using periods to end a sentence I would use a comma. As I had a friend peer review my papers she would always point this out, which was really helpful because I clearly did recognize what I was doing wrong. The most difficult thing in this class for me, was learning how to use citations and doing them correctly. At my old school they never taught us how to use them or told us that they were important. This was definitley a struggle when I transfered schools and then came to Normandale because it seemed like everybody around me already knew how to use them. This class however, has given me a better understanding of citations and how to use them.

As I briefly mentioned above, I had a peer help me with editing my papers. There were a few things she really helped me learn about my writing this sememster, one, as I talked about above, was my constant use of runon sentences. She pointed out each and every runon so I could see exactly what I was doing wrong. I laughed at myself a lot when she pointed out sentences that lasted trhee to four lines. Another thing she helped me with was paraphrasing and citing

In 1912, he dreamed of a highway expanding from coast to coast across the continent. He began calling his new idea the Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway. It costed about 10 million dollars to build…

A Note On The Real Interest Rate

minus the inflation rate (see Fisher equation and below for exact equation). It is the rate of interest an investor expects to receive after subtracting inflation. This is not a single number, as different investors have different expectations of future inflation. If, for example, an investor were able to lock in a 5% interest rate for the coming year and anticipated a 2% rise in prices, it would expect to earn a real interest rate of 3%. For information: The Fisher equation is: r = i − π Letting…

Communication In C. S. Lewis The Weight Of Glory

so-called old-fashioned postcards, letters, and invitation cards. Up in dusty attics and down in musty basements, abandoned letter paper turned yellow after months of neglect, as calligraphy pens began to dry up from lack of use. Occasionally, a few artsy individuals decorated and mailed fancy cards to friends and family, only to experience disappointment as a short text message came back with simple words of thanks. Gradually, people gave up writing letters, deeming it as an obsolete activity…
