Week 8, Assignment 2

There were many areas during this class that help me grow as a writer. Even though I usually give myself time to write papers, I realize that giving yourself plenty of time to do your research is the key to be successful when writing a paper.  The research in Satir's Human Validation Therapy,  I did over this course weeks provided me with a good amount of information to not only prepare for this class but for a paper I had to write for another class. I have to admit, each week's assignments help me not to stress over, since, as weeks went by, I was more equipped with information and felt like the review of each article, book, etc., helped me achieve the result I needed.  The literature review was like the “abstract” of a research paper and the steps to complete this week’s assignment were helpful to gather substantial information as if you were writing a research paper.
