Excerpt analysis

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Political science

Analyze the reading and discuss what the article is depicting ,select one quote that you find the most meaningful to you in one of two ways: either because the author/speaker validates something you have already been thinking about or because the author/speaker challenges you to rethink how you have been thinking. Analyze the quote: 01) what is the argument the author/speaker is making?; 02) what connections can you make between this quote and another text that we have engaged with in our course (e.g., how does a quote from Omi and Winant connect to the arguments that Lee is making in her chapter?)?; and 03) why is this quote so meaningful to you?

The Inclusion of Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Health Care and Life Sciences

In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.

In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.

To Prepare:

Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources.
Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.
Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.

Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.

Why does research matter?

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment Humanities, MLA

In the article by U.S. News and World Report, it states the following:

“Many different kinds of careers are going to present students with challenges that don’t have

obvious answers. At the end of the day, that is the best description of what

research is all about: We’ve found an interesting question, and we really

don’t know what the answer is going to be.” 

How do you relate the research process to your future plans? 250-300 words

Please research the topic, narrow it down, phrase the topic, carve out your central/thesis sentence, identify the main points to be discussed in the body of the presentation. Undoubtedly, you will need to build an introduction and a conclusion. Use no less than 3 sources in your presentation. Use reputable sources. Make certain to effectively use in-text citations. Please make sure that you are writing this paper as if it is me.. Thank you so much!

Rough Draft of the Research Paper

Choosing a Topic
You may choose any subject as long as the essay is argumentative.

Checklist questions:
Am I finding too many sources, to the point in which I will have to narrow the geography, audience, subcategory, or the like? Am I finding so few sources that I have to broaden subcategory, audience, geographical scope, and so forth?

Choosing sources
Go to library.hccs.edu

Use books and databases as much as you can. Interviews are optional.

Checklist questions:
Have I looked up the credibility of the author or source? Have I used a variety of evidence (experience, specific examples, testimony from authorities, statistics, etc.)? Do I have recent sources or sources that are not outdated?

Rough Draft
The purpose of the rough draft is to get an idea of your overall argument, using correctly cited sources in both the in-text citations and the works-cited page. (Use signal phrases.) Every source in the writing should be named in the works-cited page, and vice versa to avoid plagiarism cite each sentence that has a summary, paraphrase, quotation, or information not commonly known. If the paper plagiarizes, it is in danger of receiving a failing grade; thus, double-check your paper. Additionally, you must balance your ethos, pathos, and logos. Use transitional sentences and phrases. Remember to use MLA. The essay should be at least 800 words, but the closer you get to a finalized essay, the better feedback youll receive.

Checklist questions:
Have I used a variety of evidence (experience, specific examples, testimony from authorities, statistics, etc.)? Do I have recent sources or sources that are not outdated?

Do I have an introduction that grabs the readers attention? Is my thesis toward the beginning of my paper? Does my thesis hint at the subtopics I will discuss? Does my introduction argue the relevance of my subject so that my reader is certain that my subject is important?

Have I enticed my audience with an anecdote, either from research or personal experience? Have I appealed to the emotions in any other way?

Have I argued between facts? Do I maintain an argumentative voice frequently?

Have I used refutations effectively? Are my solutions feasible?

Is my paper elaborate and detailed yet cohesive? Am I using enough transitional phrases and sentences between paragraphs, between abstract and concrete ideas, between shifts in tone or context, between subcategories or audiences, between fact and opinion, between examples, between theory and its practical application?

Skepticism

October 22, 2020 Leave a comment MLA, Philosophy

I am picking the dreaming argument that was developed by Descartes, and I need to be able to explain it in my own words and convince my reader of the dreaming argument. It can be informal and not complex sentences. Practically I am informing someone who has never heard of this argument and convincing them.  It cannot exceed 700 words, please and do not give any philosophical background or give any further info on Descartes.
