After reading, you can choose one of two options for your paper: Choose one of the diagnoses critiqued by the authors. Find one academic article/chapter (note that academic works are written by experts in the field who cite their evidence and have a reference section) that supports the critique and another academic article/chapter that counters the critique by supporting the validity of the diagnosis.

In 2-3 double-spaced pages, you will outline the main points and supporting evidence of each side of the debate. In the conclusion, you will explain your perspective on the controversy, based on a critical reading of the two articles (not your personal feelings or experience). Which side has the more cogent argument and why? DSM-5 Controversies and Critical Thinking Paper Rubric Option 1 Content 1.

Discuss the connections that you made from the evidence and how each theme emerged from the central topic of doctoral identity Read: Cameron, J., Nairn, K., & Higgins, J. (2009).

Synthesis is the act of creating something new from multiple existing entities. Synthesis of research, then, is creating a new idea from existing ideas. This assignment is designed to help you identify how themes can emerge from reading literature and how you can synthesize this information in a way that creates new knowledge. You will use your understandings of the Topic 2 readings to complete a synthesis worksheet. General Requirements: This assignment will be used as a pre-writing activity for the synthesis paper in Topic 5. Locate and download “Synthesis Worksheet” from the Course Materials for this topic. Review the articles by Baker & Pifer (2011), Gardner (2009), and Smith & Hatmaker (2014) located in the Course Materials for this topic. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. Review the GCU APA Style Guide for Writing located in the Student Success Center. You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Directions: Complete the Synthesis Worksheet for the articles by Baker & Pifer (2011), Gardner (2009), and Smith & Hatmaker (2014). The completed worksheet will include the following sections: 1.An Introduction that introduces and provides context for the topic, presents three common themes that emerged from the readings, and provides organization for the paper with a thesis statement. 2.A description of the evidence to support three common themes that emerged from the articles. Since this is likely your first experience with this depth of synthesis, we have provided two of the themes found in the articles. Your task is to identify a third theme and to provide evidence from each article for all three common themes. 3.A conclusion where you will return to your thesis and provide evidence showing you successfully addressed your thesis statement.

Write a 1,200 to 1,300 word process essay using one of the prompts below as your topic. Use a clearly directive or informative approach, not a hybrid of the two. Use at least three sources from the Saddleback College online databases.

As always, use proper MLA formatting, in-text citations, and a works cited page. Make sure you are credible on the topic by developing your claims with deep support, but make sure any fairly well-educated reader can follow you. Option 1: Write about a process in your career field using an informative appraoch. Please do not write about getting a job in that field, or a typical day in that field. Many of you already covered that in the comparative essay. Write about one specific procedure. For example, in nursing you might write about how a patient is tended to in an emergency room, including all the people seen from entry to discharge, and why they see each one. This is a narrow topic, so you’ll need depth and details on each part. It won’t be enough to say “The admitting nurse “sees if they’re OK.” You might use Anatomy of a Joke as a reference, swapping the patient for the joke and the writers for the physicians and staff. Or for computer majors, you might write about how a home computer talks to another home computer on the other side of the world. What’s involved between the modem, the ISP, the different servers and micro phone calls that bounce the signal across the globe, where encryption fits in, etc. Art majors might write about how auditions are run for a play, or how to apply a certain type of facial makeup. Students heading into sports therapy might write about how to set weight and strength goals for a team with a variety of body types and physical capabilities. Those pursuing criminal justice might explain how bail bonds work, or how physical evidence is handled and cataloged. Most of my examples above are the informative approach, but you may use either. Option 2: Write about a process involving a hobby, sport, or form of entertainment you enjoy. This will most likely be in a directive approach, but either is fine. When revising ask yourself if someone could follow your steps with no outside help and complete the task. A good way to test this is have someone read your essay and pantomime or draw out what they think they should be doing at each paragraph. Assessment Criteria: Sentence-level competence with standard academic English (grammar, mechanics, style, and avoiding affectation); focused paragraphs that have one clear role each (you deal with one thing at a time, and only deal with something once); a document-wide coherent organization (all the things connect, reinforce your main goal, and come at the reader in a sequence that is not confusing); the common elements of process writing as mentioned in our course materials and above; correct MLA formatting.

research a poet’s body of work which is Langston Hughes; then, write an imitation of one of his poems and write an essay that relays both the discoveries you made in your research and the choices you made as you went about imitating that author ( choices regarding style, diction, form, tone, metaphor, and so on).

In other words, explain the relevance of what you uncovered in your research, and explain how you went about writing the poem. Your imitation should differ in content from the original poem; however, your imitation should demonstrate a thorough understanding of and respect for the form, style, and tone of the original. Your essay should comment on what you found to be the key elements to the author’s style and how your imitation incorporated those elements. You might also comment on how this imitation process helped you gain more insight into (e.g. a deeper understanding of ) the original poem. When researching Langston Hughes, be sure to investigate ( and relay ) the main themes that other scholars have noted about the poet’s work by way of effective quoting and paraphrasing of outside sources. Parameters: * Poem: length and form should correspond to original poem * Essay: 6 pages, double-spaced, standard margins, 12-point, legible font, * Include a copy of original poem, including author’s name to the essay Checklist: *The imitation pays close attention to style, form, tone, line breaks, and imagery *The intro includes a thesis that overviews your discoveries about the poet’s style * The body paragraphs relay ( via paraphrasing and direct quoting ) relevant insights from research obtained via Literary Sources ( Gale, Literature Resource Center ), JSTOR or related academic sources ( 3 outside sources minimum )

Describe how decisions are made within the organization and within one department or unit in particular, noting relevant attributes of centralized/decentralized decision making.

Review the information presented in Chapter 12 of the course text. Focus on the information about formal versus informal structure as well as the types of organizational structures. Consider the overall structure or hierarchy of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Which organizational structure best describes your organizationline (or bureaucratic), ad hoc, matrix, service line, or flat? Note: It is possible to have a combination of structures in one organization. Is decision making centralized or decentralized in this organization? What is the role of committees, task forces, and councils in the organization, and who is invited to join? Consider how this relates to formal and informal leadership. Reflect on how decisions are made within a specific department or unit. Which stakeholders provide input or influence the decision-making process? Assess this in terms of formal and informal leadership. To support your analysis, consider your own experiences and investigate these matters by speaking with others at the organization and reviewing available documents. Be sure to consider how the concepts of formal and informal structure and leadership relate to one another and are demonstrated in the organization and in the particular department or unit. Post a depiction of your organizations formal structure, indicating whether it is best described as line, ad hoc, matrix, service line, flat, or a combination. Explain the influence of formal and informal leadership on decision making within this department or unit.

Beethoven, Ludwig Von, Symphony No. 9 in E Minor (Music Listenting Essay)

MUSIC LISTENING PAPER In previous semesters this has been known as a TERM Paper. This semester we are going to try something new. This will be a “creative writing” assignment based on one of the pieces listed below. You are to choose one of the listed pieces (each are significant works among the classical canon), listen to it multiple times, and write 2-3 pages, 12 font Double space (not 2,000-3,000 word count) on what types of visual imagery your imagination can manifest. This paper must be written in the first-person – in other words, you are the subject. Classical music (being more “methodical” than popular music) has a tendency to be more abstract. One problem we have as listeners is that unlike nearly all other art forms, the part that we are to play is not inherent to the composition. We are often left to our own devices as to what a particular piece of music is about and what it means. Music is supposed to stimulate the imagination. I am therefore going to allow each of you to explore your creativity through the aural, mental, and intellectual stimulation of one of the pieces below. This is a creative writing assignment, grades will be based on how well you tie the music into your visual imagery.

Do a research paper on the social disorganization theory of crime and how it proposes that crime is a consequence of the cumulative ecological environments that an offender was socialized in. Explain how it affects crimes and why people commit crimes.

strong paper, but too short- the body of the paper, your writing, must be 5-6 pages in length. So add more, go more in-depth with the description of the theory- add some critique, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the theory? add more to the analysis- be clear and specific when discussing how it fits the interview, and also note if there any aspects of the interview that do NOT fit with the theory and why- what other theories might fill those gaps? Do more, think more, write more… You are going to be adding on to the paper that I have attached. The statement above is what my professor sent me as feedback on the paper that I provided. I need you to go in and add mroe details about the theory and also add in some other things that the professor stated in the feedback above.
