In this paper you will argue For a Policy. You can find your policy anywhere there are a large enough group of people that rules are required: your university, your workplace, your place of worship, social clubs, your city, etc. This is a library research paper, so it is a good idea to make the policy as local as possible, since state, national, and international policies have a lot of material to master, and therefore might require a great deal of research time; the smaller and more local the policy, the less material there is to master. If you choose non-local issues, therefore, choose smaller national issues rather than larger, more controversial ones (the national policy on abortion, etc.).
Regardless of the policy you write about, in your paper you should carefully define it, thoroughly investigate its history and current status, and examine its consequences. You should decide whether the policy actually addressed the problem or issue it was intended to, if it is now outdated and no longer useful. You will need to evaluate it objectively in terms of its fairness, popularity, utility, enforceability, effectiveness, cost efficiency, and any other relevant factor.
Since policies are formulated and implemented by people around us every day, you are required to Interview as a part of your research. Essays without an Interview will have one-half of a letter grade deducted from the assignment. You may want to interview those who have created or enforced the policy (keeping in mind that they will be naturally defensive of the policy), and perhaps anyone of some authority or insight who is opposed to the policy. It would also be helpful to formulate or discover alternate policies to the one currently in use. In order to determine if a policy is popular, you might want to take a poll of the people affected by the policy — but make sure your poll is as scientific as possible.
Ultimately, you must have a strong, arguable (debatable) thesis. You are
1) For the Current Policy, or 2) For a Revision to the Current Policy, or 3) For an Alternative to the Current Policy. In this case you cannot merely be arguing against the current policy.
REQUIREMENTS: The paper should be about 4-7 pages in length (not counting a Works Cited Page). You must have at least 6 sources including the current policy, an interview, three library sources, and another source of your choice. Pick a topic quickly, so you can allow yourself enough time to do your research and conduct interviews.
Sample Policy Topics:
School / Work City Social Religious State/Society Entertainment
parking leave time zoning rules phone sales football playoffs
dorm food benefits noise doctrines toll roads media censorship
alcohol dress codes water restrictions tag agents
tuition/fees club policies membership student loans
marijuana
Checklist:
1) Don’t argue Against a Policy: Argue For One (Counter-Arguing when helpful)!
2) 4-7 Pages! 6 Sources (the Current Policy, an Interview, 3 Library Sources, and 1 other)!
3) Have good MLA format, both In-Text and on the Works Cited page.
4) The works you cite on the Works Cited page must be cited in the body of the essay as well!
5) Make strong arguments! Present both sides. Counter-Argue against the opposite side.
6) Avoid grammatical errors, especially Fragments, Fused Sentences, and Comma Splices.
Existing Policies: Some Lines of Attack and Defense

Some Hints on Interviewing
1. Find out the name and position of the person you need to talk with. You can start by calling or visiting the department (or whatever) and asking the administrative assistant (or the department head, etc.) who would be an expert in the specific area or field. Make sure that the person really is an expert on the subject.
2. Make an appointment to see the person. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time between the interview and the paper deadline.
3. Do most of your research before the interview. Do not rely on the person you’re talking with to give you background information on your topic. Do not go into an interview without already having some knowledge of what you want to talk about.
4. Have specific questions prepared and written down on a piece of paper. It is often useful to write down the questions in a notebook, leaving pages or appropriate space to write the person’s response in.
5. It is very helpful to tape record any interview. However, you must get the person’s permission to record! If the person doesn’t wish you to record the interview, then don’t.
6. Show up to the appointment on time.
7. Before you start asking questions, be sure to tell the person what you are working on and what you will do with the information. Be sure to be polite, and thank the person for his or her time.
8. If you are recording the interview, set up the equipment before you start asking questions.
9. Ask questions you have written down in your notebook. Even if you’re mechanically recording the conversation, write down the person’s responses, since your recorder might break down. It is proper and often helpful to read back a quote you think might be particularly helpful, to be sure you’ve gotten just what the person said.
10. Whenever possible, ask questions that can have specific answers. Try to avoid questions that are too general or are too leading.
11. If a person does not wish to comment on something, respect that. You might be able to get the information elsewhere.
12. If you think of a good follow-up question to a person’s response, write down the question and answer.
13. After you finish with your questions, see if there is anything else on your topic the person might want to comment on. You might also want to ask the person if there is someone else he or she might suggest you talk with to get a different perspective.
14. Be sure to thank the person for the interview. If the person expresses an interest in the final product, be sure you send him or her a copy.
15. Right after the interview, go back over your notes. Write out quotations again while they are fresh in your mind. Make sure you can read your own writing and rewrite anything you might have a hard time remembering.

Transformative Learning
In this discussion you will describe a short plan for lifelong learning and self-awareness. If you can share it professionally, you can describe a
culture you might want to learn more about.
**Understanding it does not mean you will become ore accept it, you are just understanding this culture a bit more. Any post that is not
constructive will receive zero points.
How can you build continue lifelong learning habits to follow you after this class is over?
This plan can include events, travel, research, new friends or groups of people, etc.
You will need to include specific steps for the most possible points.
Include a culture you might want learn about, if it is professional and appropriate (optional).
Share any additional information you would like that furthers understanding and class discussion.
Finally, this is optional, discuss the researcher’s take on education and the ‘War on Boys.’ Before responding, remember, this is a class that asks us to step outside ourselves to learn about another person’s journey or experience. Be open-minded and discuss things from a social science perspective and offer thought and understanding in your answer. If you are shocked or offended by this as new information, you might ask yourself why that is? Wouldn’t you want to validate and understand another culture, especially a child? Take a moment before responding and think how you might help a boy in your classroom who is having this negative experience.
Check out this researcher’s information about how there needs to be more critical thinking about how we see boys in school. Are we
stereotyping boys and how they learn and grow? Dr. Christine Hoff Sommers argues that boys are being left behind in many areas. I raised a
boy and did experience this for much of his K – 12 experience.
What I find really interesting and a bit disturbing is that she has received death threats from feminists and has been banned from some
speaking engagements some are at universities. This is not critical thinking.

HCAHPS survey
Assignment Content
Inventories of patient satisfaction are important tools to help health systems receive feedback from patients regarding the quality of care they received. Hospitals have long done their own surveys and inventories, but the HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey was the first standardized survey in the United States designed to capture, directly from patients, their perspectives of the hospital care they received.
The HCAHPS survey contains 19 core questions asking patients about everything from communication with nurses and doctors to the cleanliness and quietness of the hospital environment. A random selection of patients who have had a recent hospital stay are contacted to participate in the survey via mail or telephone.
The English version of the HCAHPS is posted within our weekly folder (of note, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese, Portuguese and German versions are also produced).
For this week’s assignment, in a response of at least 1.5 pages, (Times New Roman, 12-point font), review the survey and respond to the following questions:
-Why is it important to survey patients and what are some factors that can affect the accuracy of the responses received?
-Critique the survey. What are positive and negative aspects and opportunities for improvement?
-Does this survey accurately capture feedback from patients about the cultural competency of the care they received?
-Write two additional questions to add to the survey to directly ask patients about their experiences with staff and the hospital environment regarding this topic.
References are to follow the APA 7th edition intext citations and reference format – See the Start Here folder.
