For this assignment, you will choose one topic from the list below and write an argumentative essay.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your readers attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming the point of view on the selected topic.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. Each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world.

Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 4 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.

This essay must include a combination of no less than SIX in-text citations from two or more credible and reliable sources. Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations with or without the author’s name, and a Reference List in APA Style must be included.

HI Hope you are well. I have added another essay for a friend. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks as always.
As cases of novel coronavirus infection proliferate around the world and governments take extraordinary measures to limit the spread, there is still a lot of confusion about what exactly the virus does to peoples bodies. With the basic understanding you already have on how the virus affects humans, make a thorough research and write an essay focused on the following questions:

What are the characteristics of the virus?
Describe the life cycle of the virus
What are the ways to contract the virus? How to prevent spreading?
What are the symptoms of the disease? How do we treat it?
How to perform tests to detect the virus?
What is the source of the novel coronavirus?
Who is at highest risk to contracting COVID-19?
Based on your research, is there reason to panic?
You must answer each of the above questions completely to receive full credit.

To receive 40 points of credit, you must submit an original essay containing 400-500 words no later than April 14, 2020, at 11:59 PM. The assignment must be in essay format!

Your essay will be checked against SafeAssign and any plagiarism will affect your grade. Be extra careful not to copy anything from internet sources without paraphrasing. Make sure to only add reputable sources and keep personal opinions out of your text. You can include citations in both MLA or APA format. Citations will not be counted in the overall length of the assignment and please let me know if you have any questions.

Week 6: Area of Interest Power Point Presentation
Due Apr 12 by 11:59pm Points 175 Submitting a file upload
Purpose

The process for affecting positive change to improve practice outcomes can start with either the identification of an area of interest or the identification of a potential or existing practice problem. Selecting an area of interest helps to define a direction for further inquiry. The purpose of this assessment is for students to identify and discuss an area of interest specific to advanced practice nursing. Students will identify a common practice problem related to the selected area of interest and provide a recommendation to affect positive change. Students will build on this project in later courses.

Note: The purpose of the MSN project is to translate evidence currently found in the literature into practice within the chosen specialty track. Due to the research complexity, time involvement, and implications regarding human subjects, drug studies are not acceptable areas of interest for an MSN project.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

Examine roles and competencies of advanced practice nurses essential to performing as leaders and advocates of holistic, safe, and quality care. (CO1) 
Analyze essential skills needed to lead within the context of complex systems. (CO3)
Explore the process of scholarship engagement to improve health and healthcare outcomes in various settings. (CO4)
Due Date: 

Assignment should be submitted to the Week 6 Area of Interest Powerpoint Presentation dropbox by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MST at the end of Week 6. The week 6 assignment will not go through Turnitin.

This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus.

Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the assignment.

In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will review the student’s rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of the student’s appeal. Consideration of the student’s total course performance to date will be a contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.

Legal Opinion

The State of Guyland situated in the Caribbean with a Constitution identical with that of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana was for many years gripped in debilitating political and legal controversies. The government of which Mr. Chim was President was in the third of its third five years term. The Leader of the Opposition informed the Government and the People of Guyland that the combined Opposition planned to move for a vote of no confidence in the Government at its meeting scheduled to be held on 24th December, 2019.
Immediately after convening the Meeting for its sitting on the 24th December, 2019, the Speaker of the Parliament of Guyland notified the Assembly that:
1.    He was advised by the President, Mr. Chim, immediately before the start of the Meeting, that he, President Chim, had prorogued Parliament by a proclamation issued and appearing in gazette, dated 23rd December, 2019, a copy of which was sent to his office in the morning of 24th December, 2019; and
2.    The Proclamation provided for the reconvening of Parliament on 24 June, 2020.
Application
The Leader of the Opposition moved to the High Court seeking declarations to the effect that-
(1)    the Proclamation is unconstitutional and void; and
(2)    President Chims continued occupancy of the office for the third term is unconstitutional.

Senior Counsel asked for your opinion on the Application to the High Court by the Leader of the Opposition. Write a legal opinion.

This is my Midterm Paper for my Art Therapy Psychology Class. The paper is a three-page paper answering 4 MAJOR QUESTIONS that my teacher provided. I uploaded a file that has the description of the paper from my teacher and it is really detailed so if you can make sure to follow everything that’s in the file, that will be great. I also uploaded a PDF version of the book as some of the questions require a book reference or quotes so make sure to include that in the paper. Its also an APA style so if you can make sure to follow that.
