Comparison Paper

Assignment objective: Your goal in this assignment is to write a paper that compares the similarities and differences of two items or processes related to your major or career in the style described within Unit III. In a larger context, the purpose of writing a comparative essay is to gain the skills of detecting similarities and differences between at least two items and then use those similarities and differences to create knowledge about one or both of the items. In this way, the comparative essay is a tool used for both observation and analysis. Additionally, the comparative essay allows you to think critically and share information about a pair of items relative to your occupation or major field of study.

Length: Your submission should be 500 to 750 words, or roughly 2 to 3 pages, not counting the cover page and references page.

References: This assignment does not require any sources. However, you may use outside sources if they are helpful to your paper. Any sources used must be cited in APA Style 7th edition standards using in-text citations and a references page.

Details: For the comparative essay, you will complete the following steps:

1. Choose a pair of topics that complement one another: see the Comparative Essay Topics Handout for more information about choosing your topic. Your choice of items to compare/contrast should be related to your career or major field of study. Business is my field of study
2. Create a list of similarities and differences: see Unit III, Lesson 2, for more instruction about how to create a list.
3. Create a thesis statement based on similarities, differences, or both similarities and differences: see Unit III, Lesson 3, for more information about how to create a thesis statement. The thesis statement should be the final sentence of the introduction paragraph and offers the main argument of your paper.
4. Choose whether to organize your essay by point or by subject: for an essay organized by point, see Unit III, Lesson 4, and the Comparative Essay Example: Essay Organized by Point sample paper. For an essay organized by subject, see Unit III, Lesson 5, and the Comparative Essay Example: Essay Organized by Subject sample paper.
5. Consult the Comparative Essay Self-check List below before submission.

Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements.

• Write in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
• Include 1-inch margins on all sides.
• Use double spacing (top-to-bottom every page, to include above and below titles and centered words).
• Include an APA Style title page with six-line title block. If you use any outside sources, include a references page at the end of the paper.
• Include page numbers (upper-right corner only).
• Adhere to APA Style 7th edition convention and documentation style.

Since enrolling at CSU, your supervisor has asked you to create a brief presentation for your team about learning strategies and learning styles to help the team achieve success.

Take all the information that you have learned from the Unit III Lesson and the reading assignments and create a PowerPoint presentation that helps your team be successful. Download the PowerPoint template for this assignment.

Your presentation should contain the sections listed below.

• Include an introduction slide.
• Explain how knowing your learning style will enhance your success.
• Provide information on learning strategies.
• Discuss some ways to enhance your learning strategies.
• Discuss the types of learning styles, and state your learning style.
• Identify the learning strategies that you will use to secure your academic success at CSU.
• Include a references slide, and list all sources that were used.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of at least 10 slides. You must include a title slide and references slide that lists the sources in APA format; however, these slides will not count toward meeting the minimum slide requirement.

You must include at least one reference, which can be your textbook. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

This semester you will write an Applied Final Project titled, Application of Psychology Paper.  The final paper will be due during Week 7. The paper provides you an opportunity to apply psychological theory and research in the exploration of the book or film you submitted for approval during Week 2.  (Recall, submission was made via the Application of Psychology Topic forum).

This week, your goal is to briefly outline the major sections of the Application of Psychology Paper, providing references at the end of your outline in APA Format. Two of the references used must be from scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.  Your outline should be 2-4 pages and be descriptive enough that I can get a sense of what the content of your paper will include. This is imperative so I can give you good feedback on your outline to enhance your final paper.

Please look at the outline tips document created especially for this assignment as well as this sample outline and sample paper from a previous student.  The outline tips document is important.  It connects you with tips, guidelines, and resources to build the outline.  Please note that the student sample outline uses complete sentences. This is not required for a good outline, but the level of detail in the content is what is required. The sample outline is a product from a student who did well and was willing to share his outline as an example for future classes. Please, do not duplicate the movie, disorder, or content of this example outline in any way.

Write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. 

• Describe the steps in the research design process. Be sure to use specific terminology related to research design and include a discussion on the steps to effective research design.
• How does research design differ from research methods?
• Based on the information you researched, how would you develop a plan regarding for data collection and the database selection process when preparing to create a new initiative?
• How important is it for health care researchers to use appropriate statistical tools and databases to ensure the accuracy and relevancy of data?
• Use sites such as CDC and Healthy People to find real-world examples of research-based interventions. Describe how the research was conducted and used to create a health care improvement initiative or intervention. What type of databases might be helpful in helping to conduct similar research?

Part II: Evidence-based Diagnosis

Due Week 7

In this section you will discuss the evidence that clinicians gather to diagnose the two diseases/disorders that you selected for Part 1. Use only credible sources for your Part II sources (Review “Is My Source Credible?” )

Part II submission should include the following information for both diseases you chose in Part I:

(a) Signs and symptoms of the disease.

(b) Explain the effects of the disease on healthy body structure and function, and how these effects relate to signs and symptoms.

(c) Discuss the tools or diagnostic tests that are used to make the diagnosis. Explain, in general terms, how each tool or test works and how the data from the tool or test conveys the relevant information to the clinician about the body function or structure that is impacted by the disease.

(d) For your Summary, discuss the following ideas:

– What differences and similarities exist between communicable and non-communicable diseases/disorders based on your choices?

– Risk factors

What are the risk factors for each of the diseases/disorders?
Are any of the risk factors in common?
Are any risk factors controllable? Why and how?
– How are the diagnostic tools or tests similar or different for the two diseases/disorders?

– Discuss at least one promising treatment or cure for each of the diseases/disorders you selected.

– Are there societal conditions that predispose these diseases/disorders to certain groups (think of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, age)? If a societal change is the cure (such as decreasing social injustice or less reliance on fossil fuels that pollute the environment), discuss any progress toward societal change.

(e) Written in your own words (less than 20% quoted material)

Keep in mind that longer does not always mean better. Good writing practices, including the use of correct grammar, punctuation, sentence and paragraph structure, and a clear flow of thought, will account for a portion of your grade.

Read Ending Case for Part Two pg. 170. Complete the following questions regarding the case study:

1. Which vision of the future was correct? The long-term fortunes of both Boeing and EADS depended on two contrasting strategic decisions, based on two very different assessments of the market. If EADS was correct, the market would continue to demand ever-larger airplanes.  If Boeing was correct, the current wave of jumbo jets had crested, and a new wave of fuel-saving midrange jets would soon replace them.

 

2. Which companys strategy had the best chance of succeeding?

The Week 3 Assignment is part of a scaffolded assignment and serves as the basis for creation of the Week 5 Assignment.  

For the Week 3 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Presentation Part 1: Holistic Assessment, you will meet with and assess a selected participant and complete the accompanying Holistic Assessment Form.  In Week 5, you will complete the Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation, which is a teaching presentation.

For the Week 5 Assignment, you will use the data collected in the Week 3 Assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation designed to educate your selected participant about an identified medical condition they are experiencing. The Week 3 Assignment data will be used as a foundation for creating the patient-centered teaching presentation due in Week 5.

Assignment Directions: 

• Identify an participant known to you who has a current medical health condition. The participant must be 18 years or older and legally capable of consenting to participate in this activity. The participant CANNOT be a family member or a client you have cared for in your professional nursing practice. Using a client or patient who was assigned to receive care from you by an employer, agency, facility, or any organization will result in earning a score of zero (0) points for the assignment.
• Be sure the participant is diagnosed with a medical health condition that meets the assignment requirements. The participant’s medical health condition cannot be congenital (i.e., present at birth). Instead, the medical health condition must have a pathophysiology. The medical condition also must be a primary health alteration (e.g., cyclic vomiting syndrome), and not simply a sign or symptom that is a manifestation of a primary medical disorder (e.g., hyponatremia, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, etc.).
• Complete the Holistic Assessment Form Download Holistic Assessment FormOpen this document with ReadSpeaker docReaderfor the selected participant, then upload the completed form to the Dropbox by the end of Week 3. The form should be typed. The course faculty will review and grade the form for completion and accuracy and will approve the participant/medical condition you have selected as the focus for the Week 5 Assignment. Be sure you have approval from course faculty before you begin working on the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation.
• After successfully completing the Week 3 Assignment and obtaining faculty approval of the selected participant/medical condition, follow the instructions for completing the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation.
