Academic Writing Experience

           Academic writing is my first subject this semester in my MBA class. I am very hopeful that at the end of my class I will learn a lot from it. I really wanted to enhance my writing skills and apply it in my job and in my blogging endeavors. True to my expectations, academic writing is not that easy. It is a formal type of writing and a lot of writing style should be followed in each part. I finally had my first draft in the research paper assigned and the experience was unforgettable. I made first my outline. After having my outline, my next problem had been what should the things I should write down to reach three to five pages. Filling up the references part is also quite tough.. APA style is the method that was required to be followed. So far, I was able to pass my first draft but I think there are a lot of things that must be changed, rephrase, include or edited on it. Good luck on my second draft!

Free Saturdays

     I am officially not enrolled for the second semester in my MBA class. Our request to open first semester subjects was not granted by the registrar. This means that I have a lot of free Saturdays wherein I could leisurely stroll wherever I wanted to go. I would still have to follow up my grades in my academic writing subject where writing research papers had been the final output. I am anxiously waiting for the result of it because I am not confident with the output I submitted.      Since I have no class every Saturday, I do not have to worry any academic reports, assignments and other requirements. My Saturday schedule is very much available for any trips or outings with friends and family. There had been a lot of rejection of invites before because of the conflict of schedule with my MBA class.        Now that I am free from academic activities, this Saturday’s planned schedule to have a road trip to the southern part of the Philippines. I was never been there before and

Research Paper

Thesis writing is now unstoppable. I am now enrolled in in my Special Problem subject and it would the last phase I needed to complete before I could graduate with my MBA degree. When I started out studying again to attain a MBA degree, I was informed that a special problem, maybe it be thesis, feasibility or case study, is needed to be submitted and get the approval of a panel in a defense inorder for the MBA degree to be given. My initial plan is to conduct a feasibility study on any income generating venture and that is it. Since I stopped and was not enrolled for a year, a new curriculum was implemented and thesis was required for submission before I could graduate. Moreover, if two-three students per special problem output is allowed before, today it is by individual wherein one student, one output. It only means I have to do my thesis on my own. I never tried doing a thesis before and my personal perception to it is that it is very difficult. I have tried doing feasibility stud
