Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field. To prepare: Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question? With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes. Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified. Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice? To complete: In a 3- to 4-page paper: Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice. Summarize the findings from the articles you selected for your literature review. Explain how the evidence-based practice that you identified contributes to better outcomes. In addition, identify potential negative outcomes that could result from failing to use the evidence-based practice. Outline the strategy for disseminating the evidence-based practice that you identified throughout your practice setting. Explain how you would communicate the importance of the practice to your colleagues. Describe how you would move from disseminating the information to implementing the evidence-based practice within your organization. How would you address concerns and opposition to the change in practice? Note: In addition, include a 1-page summary of your project.

Authors usually write books or articles in order to convince the reader of something. As you read, keep asking yourself, What is the main point? What is the author trying to convince me of? No matter how complicated and long the argument is, there is always amain pointthat can be summarized briefly. Caution: Telling me what the text isaboutis not the same as telling me what the author isarguing!Second,reactto the argument in some thoughtful manner. Your reaction can take many forms. For instance: Does the argument have political implications that are interesting to you? Are there parts of the argument you strongly agree or disagree with? If so, explain why and how you agree/disagree. What other questions are raised by the argument, sub-arguments, or proposals? Explain.In short, what I am asking you to do is (1) to figure out what the author is saying, (2) to reallythinkabout it, then (3) to make a written report on the explaining what you thought about.

Prof. Neufeld SOC-K210 Sociology of the Family BOOK REVIEW DIRECTIONS I. Purpose A book review is a summary and critical discussion of a book that highlights its methods, main points, and themes, and assesses its success, strengths, and limitations. In order to critically assess a books success, strengths and limitations, relevant literature and research needs to be referred to and included in the discussion. II. Assignment Instructions Your book review will focus around a full-length book of your choosing. You can choose a book from the list provided (some of which are in the library), or choose a book of your own choice. The book should ideally be a social science book, although other types of books, such as histories or personal biographies may be acceptable. If you choose a book not on the list, you need to confirm with me that it is appropriate. In addition to your paper having an introduction and a conclusion, the body of the paper should have two main sections. First, you should describe and summarize the book you have read. You should begin by describing the focus or aims of the book. You should also identify the type of book it is and the nature of the information that was used in the book. For example, is it a historical account? Is it biographical? Is it a sociological study? You should then provide an overview of the main points, arguments, and themes in the book. This part of the body of your paper should take approximately 3 pages. Second, you should provide a critical discussion of the book where you discuss your thoughts and reactions to it and discuss its strengths and limitations, including how effectively it makes its case or achieves its aims. This can include things such as identifying explicit or implicit assumptions that are made in the book, assessing the quality and limitations of the evidence used, and whether you felt the book seems to bring new and/or important information to light. For this part of the book review, you should do additional background research and find five additional sources that you can incorporate as supporting evidence as appropriate. For example, if you read a book that makes arguments about day care, the consequences of divorce for children, or the effectiveness of gay families, you should try to find additional sources that pertain to these points. While you can incorporate course material and course readings in your critical discussion, the five sources must come from outside the course. This part of the paper assessing your book should be approximately 2-3 pages in length. Your paper overall should be approximately 6-7 pages, double-spaced, including the introduction and conclusion. For assistance writing a critical book review, please feel free to consult the following on-line sources: https://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/book_reviews.pdf https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/704/1/ https://www.lavc.edu/library/bookreview.htm For your background research, I encourage you to use the electronic databases available on the TRCC Library home page (just click on Find Articles under Electronic Resources.)

Formal Analysis Writing Assignment
Due: Oct 25, 2018 at 11:59 PMFormal Analysis Writing Assignment: This formal analysis is a written paper where you analyze a work of art based upon its formal elements and your own impressions of the work. It is an investigation of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms contribute to the works expression, message, or meaning. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think about it as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. You are not required to but may find it useful to compare the work to either a contrasting or similar artwork, if it will help your analysis. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, answer a question like these: What is this work all about? The thesis statement is the most important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.Format for the Paper: The written portion of your paper must be a minimum of 800 words in length (this should be about 2.5 pages.) The 800 word written section does not include your heading, your image(s), title page or work cited page. You will use black ink, double spaced, 12-point type, Times New Roman, Helvetica, Cambria, or a similar, normal size font with a one inch margin. (If you attempt to use a large atypical font to gain length from your paper, I may deduct points.)Your paper should be broken into three sections, an Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. Make sure you set forth your Thesis Statement in the Introduction section of your paper. You must include at least one image of the work. If you cite someones work you must make citation within the body of the paper and you must include a work cited page formatted to MLA guidelines. As stated above, the image and work cited page are NOT counted toward the 800 word text of the paper. Your grade will reflect not only the content of the paper but also your ability to follow ALL of these format guidelines.Introduction: Your first paragraph is your introduction and must include the following components related to the work(s) you have chosen to write about:Artist name (if known), title (which is italicized every time you use the title in your paper), date, and medium (if known).
A brief description of the work
What you think this work means.
Thesis Statement (typically this is the last line or so of your first paragraph). Example: Donatellos David, includes A,B, and C, which make its subject X,Y, and Z. The following analysis will explain how.
Body: After your Introduction, you should begin the body of your formal analysis. This is where you develop the basis for your thesis statement or the central argument for your paper. To accomplish this, you will need to not only describe the work, but discuss those details of the work that have led you to come to your thesis. This should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about use of color, etc.).Conclusion: Your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis statement that informs your reader of the essential elements that led you to this analysis.Note: It is important to remember that a formal analysis is not a research paper. The purpose is to show your ability to describe the formal elements of an art work AND express your thoughts and impressions of the work. In other words, you are strictly relying on your ability to visually read a work of art and make interpretations about it based on your analysis of it. Remember too that your analysis should not be just a mechanical, physical description, but an explanation of what the work makes you think, feel, etc. Please use descriptive language and adjectives to describe your work. Begin with a general description of the work and then move on to the more specific elements.Proofreading: Proofreading is an essential part of submitting your final paper. When proofreading, look for all of the common mistakes such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., but also pay careful attention to ensure you fulfilled the content requirements set forth in the description.Plagiarism: In addition, please refer to your syllabus concerning my policy on plagiarism do not share your thesis statement or paper with other students and please do not work on your paper with another student. This is considered plagiarism.Images: You will include an image of the work or works that you discuss. Also, be sure you include the pertinent information about the image as you see listed below. Artist, title (italicized), and date. XXXXXXJoyce Kozloff, Hidden Chambers, 1975-76Submission Instructions: You are required to submit your writing assignment through Canvas. Papers not submitted through canvas will not be accepted. There will be a grade reduction of 10% every day the paper is late. Refer to Canvas for your due date.
