Me in a nutshell...

I married my high school sweetheart in 2003 and have been enjoying the military life with all of it's challenges both good and bad since. I have a B.S. in Psychology, worked in law enforcement field and now am finding it difficult to find any work. I have decided to follow my heart and work with numbers! Yuck to some, but fun to me. I'm working on an Accounting degree while juggling military life, raising 2 beautiful kids and searching for an opening in the job market where I can hone my skills. Follow me along this fun, stressful and interesting journey....

RWT1

RWT1/Business Research and Writing

I completed this class today and although it was not extremely difficult it did take some time.  I would say that the majority of the time is spent reading your sources and interpreting them.  Next would be the actual researching of sources.  You really want to make sure they are credible sources.  Once you have these solidly in place, you should have no problem deciding how to go about your paper. 

The source document is easy and is essentially your reference page.  Have this done before you even begin to write anything in your paper.  Then mentally be cognizant of what it is that your task is (depending on what scenario you picked).

My biggest tip was what I failed to do when I first submitted the task.....use sub headings!!!! Use it on EVERY are! For example: Introduction, Summary of finding 1, Summary of finding 2, Summary of finding 3, Analysis of findings, Recommendations, Conclusion....you get what I mean....I had mine sent back to me for this.  Save yourself some time and add them in. 

Oh also, for any of you that don't have Power Point of Keynote, Google presentation is free and you can just upload the link for the presentation part.  I have found that some people know this and some don't.  Don't go out and buy a program, this works perfectly!
Here's the link to mine for reference:
