My Liberty University Experience - presented by eLearners.com

My name is Roz and I am in my second semester at Liberty University. I have always wanted to get my bachelor's degree in Psychology, so I am finally getting started. Did I mention that I have a full-time job as well? Oh, and five kids and a husband with a disability? You think you're busy? Come read about MY life!

Almost there, 4 lessons to go

Here I am again. With only five days left, without taking any work home I will never complete this course. I have until only Tuesday to finish everything including the one paper we are supposed to write. I took one test today and have one left, I hope to take that test on Monday. I should have no problem in taking it on Monday providing I finish all my lessons this weekend. That is a must do. So, instead of maxing and relaxing this weekend, I will need to buckle down and study.

As the end of my work day is drawing near, I stopped listening to the lessons and have started writing the one paper that I have to do. We are required to do a 3 – 5 page application and analysis paper. No specific number of words and it needs to be double spaced. I have found that if I just write and let the words flow and type it single spaced that after I add double spacing, I can easily get 3 – 5 pages. So this weekend between watching my lessons, I am going to be slowly writing my application and analysis paper.

The first section is to be 3 to 5 pages and the topic of this section is for us to demonstrate what we have learned through our course material. We have to show what we have gained from the course material. The second apart is supposed to be the application on the topic we have chosen. We have to answer questions like what was most intriguing to us about our chosen topic and why or how does it apply to our life right now and again why. The third part is only to be one paragraph and it should address why the field of psychology interests us or why the study of psychology is of no significant interest to us.

Since I am trying to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, this should be the easiest part of the paper. This paper counts for 20% of our overall grade and the grading criteria will consist of comprehension, writing skills, grammar and composition and overall neatness. So the countdown begin. Between washing clothes this weekend and cleaning, I will also need to begin on my paper and finish my last 4 lessons so I can take my final test on Monday.
