Reading and Writing Skills
Where can I go for help with my reading and writing skills? As an older non traditional student I have found writing to be fairly difficult. I have forgotten all of the "rules" and find myself spending more time on editing then writing!
Are these skills really needed????

What Skills determine success?
I have journeyed through a Skiills for Success online course offered through Argosy University for the past 8 weeks. Honestly not being as "successful" with this course as I would like to report.
I missed multiple online postings which resulted in a large amount of points being lost. Now these were missed for various reasons....mainly lack of planning, time management, and most importantly access to the internet. Now I have to say that my employment didn't assist me in my planning by last minute TDY assignments, but they were not my biggest challange. I was.
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS JOURNEY AT ALL.
I sort of felt that I could handle it, but nothing could have prepared me for juggling work, family, health issues, a car accident, wives business problems, and taking two online classes all within the same time frame. I somehow am coming out of this experience with a feeling of amazement that I may actualy pass my classes.
My thoughts on starting this blog is to see what you, as my peers, fellow students, family, and co workers think it takes to be successful? I will list the course objectives so that you are able to give feedback to me on whether or not you feel that particular objective is really needed to be successful. I would ask that you give me suggestions, information, links to helpful education (like online forums, articles, presentations, etc) that could possibly assist me as I prepare to take another journey to two new classes.......may the force be with me!
