Lindsay
“It was really hard spending last summer with my parents, because we kept arguing over food! Even though I’d told them that I’m a vegetarian, they kept serving meals with meat! Then they’d get mad when I’d fix myself a hummus sandwich! When it was my turn to cook, I made lentils with brown rice, whole-wheat pasta primavera, vegetarian curries, and lots of other yummy meals, but my dad kept insisting, “You have to eat meat, or you won’t get enough iron!” I told him that plant foods have lots of iron, but he wouldn’t listen. Was I ever glad to get back onto campus this fall!”
Your Advice for Lindsay;
Lindsay is a ballet dancer who trains daily. If she eats a vegetarian diet including meals such as the ones she describes here, will she be at risk for iron deficiency? Why or why not?
Are there any other micronutrients that might be low in Lindsays diet because she avoids meat? If so, what are they?
Overall, will Lindsay get enough energy to support her high level of physical activity on a vegetarian diet? How would she know if she were low in energy?
Suggest at least 3-4 specific alternative eating choices (meal or snack ideas) as it relates to the case study prompt.

These are the assignment instructions, I have attached the powerpoints needed and added some pdfs to help but do not have to be used in citations. You could choose your own articles.
PART 1 (WORTH 12 POINTS):
I’d like you to consider all the content you have read for Weeks 1 – 5 (Rape Culture through University Environment). Before you read the directions for this discussion, remember that MOST schools do not have an academic course on campus sexual violence like this one:
For this discussion, I’d like for you to describe what you believe are THREE critical topics that all schools should focus on when they are teaching students about campus sexual violence. You will choose something specific from the 1. Rape culture, power, and privilege section 2. Consent section and 3. University Environment section. I’d like for you to describe in detail what exactly students should be taught and why you believe that is important. While I do genuinely want to know your opinion, I would still like for you to weave in content from readings/articles/videos, etc.
Examples:
1. Marginalized groups of individuals who may be the target of rape myths or are more likely to experience sexual violence on campus (for example: LGBTQ+ students are more likely to be sexual assault survivors compared to heterosexual and cisgender college students. Describe why you believe that is crucial for college students to understand. What difference do you think it would make if more students knew that?)
2. How oppressive systems that uphold patriarchy, white supremacy, hegemonic masculinity, and capitalism contribute to racism, sexism, and homophobia which all impact sexual violence (for example: you might describe the ways in which you believe our capitalist society impacts campus sexual violence. Describe why you believe that is crucial for college students to understand. What difference do you think it would make if more students knew that?)
PART 2 (WORTH 3 POINTS):
In addition, you will also include one recent video and one recent news article about each topic (recent is last 3-4 years):
Video 1 and article 1 must have the word rape culture in the title
Video 2 and article 2 must have the word consent in the title
Video 3 and article 3 should be related to something specific in the university environment (For example: fraternities, sororities, student athletics, Title IX on campus, etc)
ALL VIDEOS AND ARTICLES OBVIOUSLY MUST RELATE TO SEXUAL VIOLENCE!
To summarize your grading rubric:
– You will describe THREE critical topics that all schools should focus on when they are teaching students about campus sexual violence when it comes to 1. rape culture, power, and privilege 2. consent and 3. the university environment (GRADING WILL BE WORTH 7 POINTS AND BASED ON YOUR LEVEL OF DETAIL, YOUR COMPREHENSION OF THE MATERIAL, AND WHETHER IT SEEMS YOU DID ANY OF THE READINGS)
-Each of the 3 responses will be minimum 100 words (so for all 3 responses, you are writing 300 words total) (GRADING WILL BE WORTH 3 POINTS AND BASED ON IF YOU MET THE LENGTH REQUIREMENT)
-Each of the 3 responses should have a citation within the text and at the end of your paragraph. So, you will use a minimum of 3 citations, but feel free to use more (I do not care what citation style you want to use: APA, MLA, all are fine with me) (GRADING WILL BE WORTH 2 POINTS AND BASED ON IF YOU INCLUDED CITATIONS WITHIN THE TEXT AND AT THE END OF EACH SECTION)
-For each of the 3 topics, you are submitting a recent video and recent news article (3 videos, 3 news articles) (GRADING WILL BE WORTH 3 POINTS, 1 POINT FOR EACH VIDEO AND NEWS ARTICLE PAIR)
TIPS:
-You can use my powerpoint as 1 of your 3 citations. Please do not cite my powerpoint(s) more than once though
-Feel free to search online for more content and use outside sources for this assignment (meaning you are not only restricted to the course readings I have assigned in this class)

Formal Essay on Passing
(50 Points)
Directions: Please respond to the following prompt in a thesis-driven essay, and please drop it in the WARB: PASSING Formal Essay drop box on PowerSchool under ACTIVITIES / ASSIGNMENTS. Your essay will have a concise introductory paragraph, one or two body paragraphs (two if you are completing the Honors option), and a concluding paragraph. YOU MAY USE THE COMMA USAGE HANDOUT UNDER READING/WRITING RESOURCES / WRITING TOOLS! ON POWERSCHOOL TO GUIDE YOUR COMMA USAGE. HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT TO CONSULT ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES, HUMAN OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE NOVELLA. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
Prompt:
At the conclusion of Nella Larsens Passing (1929), Clare Kendry falls to her death from an apartment window during a party. Based on textual evidence, what seems to be the most likely cause of Clares fall? Also, So What? How/why might Clares death be significant in/for the novel?
So, there are two questions here: First, what seems to be the most likely reason/cause of Clares fall? Second, how might Clares death contribute to the novel? What might Larsen be conveying to readers, intentionally or not, by having Clare die?
Structure/Content: Students completing the College Prep option will write a three-paragraph essay (3), and students completing the Honors option will write a four-paragraph essay (4).
1.) Short Introductory Paragraph: Use the terms of the question (including title/author/date of publication) to articulate your response to the prompt in three to five sentences. This is clear and concise! Briefly clarify the most likely cause and two reasons (2) for why you believe this to be so. [Honors option will also clarify, briefly, a less likely cause of Clares fall and two reasons (2) for why you believe this is a less conceivable or convincing possibility.]
2.) Body Paragraph: Provide and explain textual evidence to defend your response to the first portion of the prompt: What seems to be the most likely cause of Clares fall, and what two reasons can you offer in defense of this claim? BEGIN YOUR PARAGRAPH WITH A CLEAR TOPIC SENTENCE TIED TO YOUR THESIS. OFFER AND DEFEND TWO COMPELLING REASONS (2) FOR YOUR CLAIM REGARDING THE CAUSE OF CLARES FALL, USING A COMBINATION OF PARAPHRASED TEXTUAL EVIDENCE AND 2-4 PIECES OF QUOTED MATERIAL (TOTAL) IN SUPPORT.
3.) HONORS OPTION ONLY: Body Paragraph Two: Provide and explain textual evidence to defend your claim regarding a less likely cause of Clares fall: What is a less likely cause of Clares fall, and what two reasons can you offer to demonstrate that this cause is less conceivable or convincing than the cause you presented in your first body paragraph? BEGIN YOUR PARAGRAPH WITH A CLEAR TOPIC SENTENCE TIED TO YOUR THESIS. OFFER AND DEFEND AT LEAST TWO WEAKNESSES IN THIS COUNTER ARGUMENT REGARDING CLARES FALL, USING A COMBINATION OF PARAPHRASED TEXTUAL EVIDENCE AND 2-4 PIECES OF QUOTED MATERIAL (TOTAL) IN SUPPORT.
4.) Conclusion (So What?): Defend your response to the second portion of the prompt: How/Why might Clares death contribute to the novel? What might Larsen be conveying to readers (intentionally or not) by having Clare die? Does Clares death reinforce a central theme(s) or issue(s) regarding racial passing in the early 20th century? Does her death illuminate more about Clares character or the characters of others in the novel? Explain. BEGIN YOUR PARAGRAPH WITH A CLEAR TOPIC SENTENCE TIED TO YOUR THESIS. THIS PARAGRAPH MAY NOT REQUIRE QUOTED MATERIAL, BUT YOU MAY NEED TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF THE NOVEL.

PLEASE HIGHLIGHT ALL INTRODUCTORY ELEMENTS: After Clare Falls, the party guests are stunned.
PLEASE HIGHLIGHT ALL COMMAS USED WITH COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: I love Nella Larsens novel Passing, but its a challenging read.

HERES AN EXAMPLE SENTENCE WITH BOTH ASPECTS HIGHLIGHTED: While I love Nella Larsens novel Passing, its a challenging read, and I need to look up definitions for words constantly.
HERES AN EXAMPLE WHERE TWO SENTENCES (EACH WITH AN INTRODUCTORY ELEMENT) ARE COMBINED INTO ONE SENTENCE: While I love Nella Larsens novel Passing, its a challenging read, and despite having a fairly robust vocabulary, I still need to look up definitions for lots of words.
HERES AN EXAMPLE OF A COMMA SPLICE (WE CANT DO THIS!): I love Nella Larsens novel Passing, its a challenging read. I wake up most mornings at 6:00am, I hate getting up early.

As in all of your formal writing this year, I will be looking for you to answer the question/prompt immediately, to express yourself clearly (in complete sentences, avoiding run-on sentences and comma splices), to defend your claims with specific/relevant textual evidence, to lead into all quoted material smoothly and effectively (using MLA citations), and to utilize transitional elements and paragraph breaks effectively.

HERES AN EXAMPLE AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH (THIS IS FICTITIOUS, BUT IT FITS THE FORMAT IM ASKING FOR) FOLLOWED BY THE 3-PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE REQUIRED FOR THE COLLEGE PREP RESPONSE:

INTRODUCTION: At the conclusion of Nella Larsens Passing (1929), Clare Kendry falls to her death from an apartment window during a party. The most likely cause of Clares fall is that Dave Freeland, host of the party, pushed Clare out the window. Throughout the novel, Freeland made clear that he resented Clares close relationship with Irene, and his jealousy likely compelled him to kill Clare. Moreover, Freelands behavior during and after the party is incredibly suspicious, leading readers to believe that he likely pushed Clare to her death. Clares death at the end of the novel serves to reinforce a central theme in Larsens novel: jealousy is a powerful, destructive emotion.
BODY PARAGRAPH: Craft a topic sentence linking Dave Freelands jealousy to Clares death, then show: 1.) Freelands jealousy as demonstrated at multiple points in the novel; 2.) Walk me through textual evidence showing/proving that Freelands behavior during and after the party was highly suspicious, thus suggesting that he is the culprit for causing Clares death.
CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH: Craft a topic sentence, then, Show me how Freelands likely killing of Clare at the end of the novel fits with a pattern of destructive jealously demonstrated at other times in the novel.

Health care delivery and the organizations that provide, manage, and reimburse for it are growing at an explosive rate. As part of this trend, the allied health job sector is the largest employment sector, with job growth projections in the 14% plus range for the period 2018-2028 (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018).
Expansive growth is a response to current and predicted need for services, and while encouraging, sustained and rapid growth will inevitably affect safety, risk management, and quality provision on scales not yet seen by health care organizations.
In an essay of 1,250-1,500 words, provide your assessment, with recommendations, for how the United States, as a country, can best manage quality assurance in the health care workplace going into the future.
Questions to consider include:
How best can the United States, as a country, manage this growth in the allied health sector? What role does the 2008 Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA), accrediting body requirements for workplace safety, risk management, and quality care, play in this effort? Provide examples.
Analyze the core safety, risk management factors, and quality management tools in the health care industry through accreditation that assist in the decision-making process for implementation in allied health care.
Describe the decision-making process for safety, risk management, and quality management in allied health care.
What steps might the United States take, from the global to the organizational level, to maintain high standards for providing outstanding care-based services?
Describe the core safety, risk management, and quality management tools in the health care industry.
What are two or more performance-based trends in patient safety, risk management, and quality management in health care organizations currently being followed to meet this goal?
Access the AHRQ National Quality Measures Clearinghouse and the National Quality Forum to aid in the completion of this assignment.
Provide a minimum of three qualified resources from the readings, the GCU Library, or cited sources in order to complete this assignment successfully.

Background Information.
Staffing includes the broad areas of job analysis, personnel planning and recruiting, employee testing and selection, and interviewing candidates. The focus in this discussion forum assignment will be on all areas of staffing except for employee selection and testing, which will be addressed in the second discussion forum assignment for this workshop.

Job Analysis
All managers need to be familiar with the basics of job analysis:

*Job analysis is the procedure through which you determine the duties of the department’s positions and the characteristics of the people to hire for them.
*Job descriptions are a list of what the job entails, while job specifications identify what kind of people to hire for the job.
*The job analysis itself involves collecting information on matters such as work activities, required human behaviors, and machines, tools, and equipment used.
*Managers use job analysis information in recruitment and selection, compensation, training, and performance appraisal.
*The basic steps in job analysis include deciding the use of the job analysis information, reviewing relevant background information including organization charts, analyzing the job, verifying the information, and developing job descriptions and job specifications.
There are various methods for collecting job analysis information. These include interviews, questionnaires, observation, participant diary/logs, and quantitative techniques such as position analysis questionnaires.

Personnel Planning and Recruitment
A more detailed look at personnel planning and recruitment is provided in the Assignment Lecture section under Activity 2.4 Individual Paper: Personnel Planning and Recruitment. Here, the assignment focuses on the importance of understanding how to recruit a more diverse workforce.

Interviewing Candidates
Managers should be aware of the basic ways available to avoid interview errors and the steps in conducting an effective interview. You will specifically address those important areas in this assignment.

Instructions.
