Mental Illness. My long-term career goal in accounting

There are dozens of accounting and financial membership organizations. Some of these include:
AICPA IMA IIA FEI ACFE
HFMA IFAC NSA NATP SCM
How would membership in one of these organizations benefit you? Think about what you want to do long-term. Do you want to be a general accountant? Are you interested in a specific industry, such as healthcare? Are you interested in forensic accounting? How about cost accounting? Auditing? Taxes? Management Accounting?
For Project 3, select one (1) of the above organizations and write a 1-2 page paper in which you:
Identify your long-term goals or the area of accounting/finance you find most interesting.
Explain how the organization you selected could help you achieve your long-term goals or interests.
Describe any activities and/or opportunities that the organization you selected offers that could benefit you now.
Identify activities and/or opportunities that the organization you selected offers that could benefit you in the future.
Determine if there is a student membership price to join the organization you selected. Identify the costs involved and compare student membership rates to regular membership rates.

FEEDBACK:Hi, Artquishia - You earned a grade of B on this paper (80%). Please read through my feedback below and review the comments on the submission.
The outline is an important step in any writing activity; you have done a very good job and should be able to develop your essay based on this outline. Note, however, that as you continue to work on your essay, you will develop the outline more fully. You will want to develop 2-5 paragraphs per supporting point by the time you have the final draft.
Well done; your thesis statement is a good beginning and will guide your essay. It may change as you continue to draft the essay, but that will be fine. However, remember that the thesis statement is one sentence. Does your thesis statement need editing?
You have gotten off to a good start, but the draft needs editing and revision. Remember, the thesis statement guides the draft. Use key words in the paragraph topic sentences and the paragraphs to keep the essay on topic. The paragraphs for the starting draft that are to be submitted here are the first two paragraphs of the essay, the introduction with the thesis statement at the last sentence or second to last sentence of the introduction, and the second paragraph is to be the body paragraph immediately following the introduction. Please review the webtext, ch. 5.7, and information in the announcements. In addition, see the comments on the submission.
Good beginning. Remember, however, to edit carefully; if there are too many formatting, grammar, and/or mechanical errors, the message will not be conveyed to the reader. There are a number of grammatical, mechanical, and/or formatting errors in the submission. Check the grammar appendices in the webtext; use Grammarly to help you. You can also use tutor.com to help with grammar, essay and theisis structure, and SWS formatting. Both are free to you.
Well done; however, although the feedback is listed, the reflection needs development. It is important to reflect upon the feedback from a writing activity in order to use it in future writing activities. In addition, see the comments on the submission.
I think you should review this short document on the Strayer University Writing Standards to help improve your writing srtyle and earn better grades. There is also a handy FAQ document to get the answers to common questions and even a sample paper that uses SWS.
Have you tried the online library to find quality resources for use in assignments? You can find the library at research.strayer.edu. What's great about our library is that there's a general search box you can use to search multiple databases at once and save time. You can even use filter the results to only peer reviewed (aka quality) resources. Ploease note as well that we have excellent resources in the webtext, ch. 3-6, and in the announcements.
Did you know Tutor.com offers a 24/7 live chat for writing help and a drop off paper review service? I recommend all of my students take advantage of their expertise. You can find the link under the Tutor tab, on the left side of Blackboard. Use the paper review service for your draft. tutor.com can also help with SWS formatting.
Do you know that using correct grammar will help your readers respect your ideas and help you communicate those ideas clearly? Your SOOMO webtext has grammar help appendices; another good source of help is the OWL @ Purdue: https://owl(dot)purdue(dot)edu/owl/purdue_owl.html Two other helpful sites are Grammarly (se ch. 1.10 in the webtext to register) and tutor.com, accessed through the tutor tab on the left side of Blackboard. With these resources, you will conquer grammar and become an expert communinicator.
When you quote, paraphrase or summarize from your sources, you must set up a need for the source to add supporting evidence. Then, if you quote, use the quote, remembering to use a signal phrase to introduce the quote or any type of source material (see webtext, ch. 6.5, incorporating evidence). After you quote and cite your quotation, analyze the quote, discussing its relevance to the topic (see ch. 6.6). Then, continue developing the paragraph following that pattern. See ch. 5.5 for information about the paragraph. Remember that the quotation should be short and only used to provide evidence for your points. In addition, as a general rule, do not begin or end a paragraph with cited material. Take a look at the video below that analyzes a paragraph using research:
