I also got to learn more about the ways we can counteract the stigma that is causing many students to go undiagnosed.

1. How I Used It: This article helped me discover the most common reasons why innocent people end up in prison. I used it demonstrate that a mixture of intentional and unintentional actions on the part of witnesses and prosecutors most often landed innocent people in jail. The defendants were often badly represented, and the prosecutors exhibited an appalling willingness to cajole, coerce, or bargain with witnesses to get the testimony they needed to convict innocent people.
2. How I Used It: I retained some information to use in my research on the facts that are giving about mental health rising across universities. The article also gave very good examples on which types of students are most likely to struggle with dealing with mental illnesses and the challenges of college.
3. How I Used It: I mostly used this article to explain the different coping methods that occur when dealing with stress and way to be more proactive to trying to to help students who have trouble coping.
4. How I Used It: I used this article to explain how community college are not promoting as much. Community colleges believe its okay because of the fact a small amount of students live on campus and the demographics are different. This is still alarming because as an institution many are in need and don’t have any opportunity to partake in services.
5. How I Used It: I wrote about the different types of stressors and explained them in detail. I explained what they contribute and how they affect someone.
6. How I Used It: Although very similar to the other quotes I used this reference to back up my statement by not just showing on references that talks about similar things. I also got some factual information to back up my theory about the correlation between mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse.
7. How I Used It: I got to understand the stigma student with mental illness go through and why they refuse to seek help. The article also gave ideas on how to counteract this stigma and improve university’s mental health services.
8. How I Used It: I examined the compare and contrast list to see if I could determine the difference between stressed and depressed. This is important now since most of the signs are similar. Many of us think that they might be the same thing or is that just depressed might just be someone being sad when it’s much bigger than that.
I appreciate that you’re seeking help, PS, but you’ve waited so long to do so that you might be out of time. I hope you’ll spend the days between now and your Grade Conference fleshing out the sketchy arguments you’ve suggested in your Research Position Paper. If you do, you’ll be able to make the case that you responded (in panic mode) to your instructor’s feedback to meet the requirements of Core Value 1. I’m sympathetic, PS, but you have a lot of work to do.
