Last Fall I did a class long project on LMT's modular platform. I got so tired of doing reports on Apple or Starbucks and learning about companies I didn't care about that I decided to make it a report on something I do want to learn more about.
Highly competitive AR-10 and AR-15 markets, ISO certifications in manufacturing, made in the USA for quality control and product development, recently won the contract to replace the British .308, modular platform allows troops to change out parts depending on mission requirements and not overtaxing the unit's armorer, reduce the cost of the rifle platorm and make most of the profit off the accessories line.... it was actually quite interesting applying the tools learned in class to a private company that has little information available online.

Good luck!

I'm a grammar and spelling Nazi as a hobby, so I would be willing to look it over as well.

I'd love to help as well; I'm finishing 2 books- one a fictional novel the other a guide- and hoping to get them published by the beginning of next year.

Glock Gen 4 review in PUBLIC school?

I'll keep an eye out for you on the news.

Does Fountain have a SWAT team?

It's at the community college here. Ghetto are you familiar with the MLA format

I thought it would be fun as I'm not into music, or other products.

What do you want to know about MLA

I can help out. Being a current college student myself and in my Jr and sr classes, I'm very familiar with MLA and APA and have written lots of papers recently. I hve quite a bit of experience with Glocks too having owned about a dozen and modifying more than that for competition.

Where does everyone go to school at? Never got the opportunity...thus far...to write about guns or stuff that I actually like or care about...

Maybe I should go to school where you guys go

KevDen2005

And...

It's been my experience in school thus far (as a super-senior) that you will generally use MLA for Arts fields and APA for science. I have used MLA my entire college career (which seems to never end) and have never used APA. My soon-to-be wife has a BSN and has used APA her entire college career...just to throw out a couple examples.

It is probably good to know both, however, if your professor lets you pick a style then choose what's going to be best for your college career path

IMHO

We use the AP/Chicago Manual of Style for almost all of our corporate writing, and it's a pretty big company...

Been a while since I looked at the MLA, since college really. I am starting school again in the fall, so I better get used to it...

I find all this talk of MLA/APA so foreign. I wrote a few papers in college, but the teachers never cared, or even specified the way to write them. If they did, I don't remember, and just wrote the way I learned in high school. I was never, ever marked off for something to do with the format of how the paper was written.

It has to be in MLA. I think I have the formatting down but never used it before.

I was going to write it on the XD but the instructor would probably given me an "F" for being stupid.[ROFL1] [ROFL2][Coffee]

I think the better professors don't care as much as long as the content is filled properly, not plagiarized, and makes sense.

This. Original work done correctly and you'll be fine.

The disclaimer I should have put is...Unless it is an English/writing Class

And the most of my college career I had to but my own bibliography/works cited page together but now this website should be helpful

bibme.com

Just type in the book info and the style you are writing in and it formats everything for you.

Ill check it out as well and am familiar with MLA. I am a grammar nazi on the internet...although using my phone more causes problems even for me!
My dad is a retired high school english teacher. My sister teaches english. My wife teaches history and english and I never received less than an A in any english class.

When I was in the USAF (Homestead AFB, 76-79), I had a lot of fun correcting the spelling and grammar that was written on the mens' room stalls. (In their infinite wisdom, the commanders had large tablets of paper put up on each stall wall so they didn't have to repaint all the time.)

For a long time, I signed it, "Three", which was simply the employee number I put on the work records (00003). Then some full-bird moved in and wanted a low number, and I wound up with some obscure number to use. So I changed my signature to the "Spelling Bee", each one with a bunch of dotted lines and a little drawing of a bee at the end.

Man, did I ever get a lot of splatterback on that hobby! Nobody ever figured out who it was, though, and I had an absolute blast doing it.

Now I'm in the adult education field and it pisses me off to no end when my colleagues publish something that's full of punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors. The one that I scream loudest about is those who use the apostrophe to make a word plural! I've even sent around web links about how to properly use the apostrophe, but it doesn't seem to sink in.

Note rule #3 in the following link:

They do care, in my Indian law class she would mark down if its not MLA. They ar estrict about it. But it could be the fallowing directions part of it all.

So with Dr. Ortiz?

Yup! Had her last semester too

KevDen2005
06-12-2011, 00:11
As far "Left" she is I didn't think she was too bad...

As far as the paper at the end of the law class it was a bit long I guess but didn't do too bad on it.

Gunner
06-12-2011, 00:17
Yeah I'm pretty sure I got an A on that paper. What days did you have her. But one paper for 40% or your grade that's steep

Gunner
06-12-2011, 00:18
She was left but not to bad it was all the lefties in my class

I had her mondays and wednesdays fall 2010 it was something like a 1:00 pm class, what about you?

Wish I knew earlier, I would have given you all my Case Law stuff.

But if you enjoyed it all take Constitutional Law and the Criminal Justice Constitutional Law class (forget the actual name of that one).

Lots and lots of case law. Provizer's Con Law class (which is under the political science classes) was very interesting and extremely hard. Lots of people dropped it, but I really enjoyed it.

I'm changing my path as well...probably going to switch over to CSU Global Campus...I will pretty much be staying on a similar path but doing it differently...I am very unhappy with Metro
