Best Writer

For this assignment, you will need to gather 3 sources that answer a research question that you’d like to further explore. For example, if your question is: Why are criminal recidivism rates so high in America? You would then find 3 sources that attempted to answer this question.
Two of your sources must come from peer-reviewed academic articles, the other one can come from other good, edited sources that are non-academic. You may use books, videos, websites (careful!), or other relevant sources.
Each annotation (that is, each summary of a source’s contents), will consist of an approximately 300-word paragraph (one page) summarizing the piece. The paragraph must identify:
the authors’ hypothesis
author’s methodology
major findings of his/her research
You may bullet-point your summary to make it easier to read.
Format the document as follows:
1) At the top of the assignment write your research question. This is actually a critical step since you will be graded on whether your sources answer your question. I suggest getting your research question approved by me before continuing.
2) For each source, you write a citation at the top. Please use the following format:
For a research article: Smart, G. H. (2020). Declining violence in norther New Jersey schools. Journal of adolescent Behavior, 15(3), 396-419.
For a book: Smart, G. H. (2019). School Violence in Northern New Jersey. New York: Columbia University Press.
For a website: Smart, G. H. (2019, April 10). Whales likely impacted by Great Pacific garbage patch. The Ocean Cleanup. https://www.theoceancleanup.com/updates/whales-likely-impacted-by-great-pacific-garbage-patch/
For a news article: Smart, G. H. (2018, June 30). Why is there so much violence in schools? North New Jersey News. [Add URL if available]
3) Immediately after each source citation copy and paste the link to your source (if online). Then write a one to two-line summary of how this source answers your research question. Following that, write a 300- word summary of the source, making sure to highlight the main points:
the authors’ hypothesis
author’s methodology
major findings of his/her research
Make sure to write the author’s main argument up-front.
Write so that someone who has never read the article/book/etc. would have a good sense of what was written just from reading your summary.
You may use no more than one quote from the source.
See example below
Note that you will be graded on the quality of your summaries, the quality of your sources, and whether the articles you found will help you answer the research question you want to answer.
Example:
Reuter, T. R., Newcomb, M. E., Whitton, S. W., & Mustanski, B. (2017). Intimate partner violence victimization in LGBT young adults: Demographic differences and associations with health behaviors. Psychology of Violence, 7(1), 101-109.
Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28451465/
The authors hypothesized that female-identifying racial minority members of the LGBT+ community were more likely to experience intimate partner violence (IPV) than their male-identifying white counterparts. Furthermore, they hypothesized that IPV would be associated with certain health habits, such as high usage of alcohol and marijuana. The study drew from a sample of 172 ethnically diverse members of the LGBT+ community in the Chicago area. Each participant first was prompted to complete a demographic form, then was asked a series of questions designed to assess if the interviewee was physically abused by, forced to participate in sex acts with, or verbally abused by an intimate partner. Furthermore, participants were prompted to fill out the HIV Risk Assessment of Sexual Partnerships to determine mental health symptoms and sexual risk-taking. Finally, the study collected self-reports of marijuana and alcohol use among participants. Each participant then received a 4 year and 5-year follow-up interview. The results confirmed results found in previous studies of heterosexual relationships: that female, male-to-female transgender, and African American participants were at the highest risk of victimization. The only difference in IPV between sexual minorities in the study was that lesbian partnerships were more likely to perpetrate IPV. Furthermore, the study found that victims of IPV in the study were at higher risk of developing depression and anxiety, which was again in line with previous studies. While IPV was not the cause of current anxiety, upon a follow-up investigation one year later, IPV was the cause of increased anxiety among those interviewed. Finally, the study also found that there was a correlation between sexual risk-taking (such as unprotected sex) and IPV.

1. Choose a disorder that is COMMON in childhood/adolescence and pick at least 2 methods of treatment for that disorder. You will write a short summary of what the disorder entails for the child and how you would go about treating the child for the disorder in another. Tell me how the treatment works (whether pills or therapy), what the pros/cons are, and let me know does that particular treatment work better for certain age levels as some medications and treatments target specific age groups. Use at least 2 outside sources.

You have to define the Vocab words from Block C in your own words, add terms that are related, compare and contrast the terms, use abbreviations, disccuss the treatment, any diagnostic procedure, and pharmalogical options associated with the terms. MAKE sure you BOLD or highlight the terms, or any other terms that are similiar or related to the term,the abbrevations,diagnostic procedure, etc. Also cite sources especially from credible sources

Self-driving cars are supposed to be safer than the
average drunk, distracted or texting driver. But if they get into an accident,
who is responsible? The owner? the car company? The programmers?
The theme and format of the paper are similar to the following

Autonomous Accidents: The Ethics of Self-Driving Car Crashes

the 3 sources:
1. Lloyd Bitzer, “Rhetorical Situation” http://www.arts.uwaterloo.ca/~raha/309CWeb/Bitzer(1968).pdf
2. Cicada Scott, “Congratulations! It’s a Mockingbird.” https://www.facinghistory.org/stories/congratulations-its-mockingbird
3. Gloria Anzaldua, How To Tame a Wild Tongue https://www.everettsd.org/cms/lib07/WA01920133/Centricity/Domain/965/Anzaldua-Wild-Tongue.pdf

For this assignment, you will write a 6–8 page source-based article, in which you will go beyond summarizing to analyze and make connections between the concepts of genre, audience, and rhetorical situation, and begin to develop a theory of writing. You will choose three of the assigned sources (which represent a variety of genres) listed above, from which you will incorporate evidence to support your ideas about these key concepts and reflect on a possible theory of writing. You must first define the key terms audience, genre, and rhetorical situation and investigate their relationships within the context of all sources in order to determine the connections between them. You will closely analyze the sources you choose to write about in your article, looking at how each writer uses genre, handles the rhetorical situation, and reaches an audience. As you develop your article you will incorporate both the rhetorical strategies we will explore in class and your understanding of audience, genre, and rhetorical situation.

NOTE: At the same time that you are developing your article, you will include a 2 page reflection piece in which you begin to develop your theory of writing, considering the concepts of genre, audience, and rhetorical situation and how they connect. The Reflection Piece will be submitted with the revised draft of the paper.

What is so Modern about Modernism?
Due date: Feb 14 2022 by 11:59 pm (Sorry, I forgot to change this to a later date in Canvas. This is the revised due date)
Points: This assignment will be worth 75 points.
Paper length: this short response paper should be around 400 – 500 words, about 1 1/2 to 2 pages.
I would like you to tell me how you understand Modernism based on the readings we’ve discussed.
Your grade will be based on how well you can answer the prompt using the reading.
Step 1:
Make sure you have read the following readings in order to answer the prompt:
Culture & Values – CH 21: The Contemporary Contour
Experience Humanities – CH 21: The Zenith of Modernism
Culture & Values – Chapter 22: The Contemporary World
Step 2:
Choose one specific work that you believe best represents the Modernist movement and argue why it is the best example of Modernism.
Prompt
Based on the readings mentioned above, name one thing that you believe points to a difference between Modernism and the styles and culture that came before it.
As an example, please choose what you see as an approach to any art form (such as music, painting, dance, sculpture, etc.), a style in society, or even a philosophical view. Make it clear why it is something of a “Modernist” era, rather than something from an era that came before it.
Choose one specific work that you believe best represents the Modernist movement from one of the arts (music, painting, dance, sculpture, etc.), and research it. The artwork you’ve chosen does not have to come from CH 21 or CH 22- you can choose something not covered in those pages. However, I would like you to use Chapters 21 & 22 as a part of your research.
You should use other sources – what art critics have said about the artwork to help you understand its meaning and significance. Good places to start are
JSTOR (Links to an external site.)
CSUN Digital LibraryLinks to an external site.
Google Books (Links to an external site.)
You must use quotes from the readings as the basis of your understanding of the difference between Modernism and what came before it. You can use the citation format (title, page) to let me know where you are getting your quote. And please use a “Works Cited” at the bottom of the page to let me know what you used as research.
NOTE: please do not block quote- keep your quoted references to around 8 to 10 words.
Below is an example of how I would like you to format your Works Cited:

*Heading & Title (1 pt) – Your name, your lab partner’s name, date, course section, TA’s name, name of the experiment

*Purpose (1 pt) – The reason for the experiment in your own words; 1-2 sentences.

*Reaction & Physical Properties Table (4 pt) – Draw the reaction (if you’re performing a reaction) and record the
physicals properties (mp, bp, MW), including units, of the reactants, reagents, and products you will use or make.
Reactions are drawn using a program like ChemDraw. Texas Tech University now has a site license for ChemDraw
software.

*Safety (4 pts) – Any safety precautions necessary for the experiment should be outlined here. Examples include proper
techniques (e.g. – for using syringes, for handling hot glassware, etc), a listing of chemical hazards, a listing of physical
hazards, how to dispose of waste properly, and any other safety issue you see or your TA expects you to address. Make
it a habit to reference all necessary chemicals’ safety information before handling them in lab. A good website to

reference for this data is www.sigmaaldrich.com. You can search for and select the chemical in question, then click on
the “Safety & Documentation” link.

*Procedure (4 pts) – A detailed explanation of the lab in your own words. You should be able to perform the lab by just
following this procedure. This can be written as steps (e.g. – 1. Add 0.15 g of benzophenone to a 3 mL conical vial).
Don’t copy from the lab manual. Don’t use personal pronouns (I, me, you, us, etc…)

Data/Observations (4 pts) – Any colors, measurements (weights before and after), reaction times, etc. observed during
lab. All graphs tables, and spectra must have a title and be clearly labeled. All IR spectra must have the functional
group’s peak labeled. Record any and all observations. Draw pictures. Duplicate pages of your notebook & IR spectra
should be attached to the back of the final lab report.

Calculations & Results (5 pts) –You may or may not have calculations; usually this will be the weight and % yield (see
below). Record all weights & measurements to the 2nd decimal place.

Conclusions/Discussion (7 pts) – Discuss the results of the experiment thoroughly and in at least 4 full sentences. This
should include a brief description of the lab, its purpose, and state why the lab was or was not successful by citing
specific data collected during the experiment.
You must reference your results in this paragraph, the actual weight of your product, the percent yield (if applicable),
peaks observed from IR spectra, etc…
One should be able to read just this section and get all the pertinent data from the lab.

Post Lab Questions (10 pts) – Answer all assigned post-lab questions
A digital lab report that contains all of the above sections will be submitted to SafeAssign on Blackboard by the due date.
The main body of the report needs to be scannable by SafeAssign. Students should also upload digital copies of the TA
initialed pre-lab portion of the report, TA initialed pages from your lab notebook if they are not already included in the lab
report file.

our goal is to create a high-level architecture
for the system that will analyze real-life drug performance in the market using
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data from providers. You will contract with providers
to pull in their data from any EMR regardless of the vendor, bring it into a batch, process,
normalize, and make available to your Data Scientists internally for
evaluation. More specifically, you are looking for certain patterns indicative
of an issue such as side effects, collecting information about details and
quantity of those side effects, and reporting on a certain set of attributes
selected by analyst to address the research question about a drug and its
real-life performance. You will use a specific drug, called Darvocet, (that was
taken off the market for a specific reason in the past), as your pilot for
evaluating whether the system works and how the system works. Assume a
few pilot provider sites may participate in your study. They will gain
the first adopter benefits and related discounts for a finished product, should
you be successful. Your general steps are as follows. Your detailed steps are
completely open to your interpretation, based on your research, attendance of a
lecture related to Unit 6, and the readings.
1. Find and research Darvocet.
Pay special attention to its purpose, intended clinical goals and patients,
side effects, and reasons it was taken off the market.
2. Determine how you would structure
your system to (a) extract relevant clinical data from provider EMRs, (b)
process data at the arrival point when it is loaded in bulk into from various
EMR sources into your system, (c) store the data at the arrival point, (d)
analyze data inside your database, and (e) supply relevant reports to your life
sciences clients. Describe your logic

3.
In
conclusion, explain how and why your system would work, represent an
innovation, and justify value for your clients. Do remember that you need to
return value to your health care providers who signed up as early testers, in
addition to your “primary” clients in life sciences. The question you will
strive to answer is, if you had this pilot in your hands before Darvocet
was pulled off the market, how could you either prevent it or help your client
improve the drug by the ways of supplying early trouble indicators and feeding
into the Version 2 development process?

Your responses must use at least four different lectures. Essay must be at least 750 words and be organized and they clear inc chronological manner with the introduction that makes an argument/thesis to answer all part of the question, for example‘s from the lectures are their own paragraphs and needs to have a conclusion to wrap up the argument. The questions that need to be answered are- discuss the impact that religion has an several world societies? How do people living at this time expressed or spread their faith in new ways? What elements of religious practice are criticized or change at this time and how? And how do political leaders make use of their respective religion to wield increased power and control others? Once you accept this writing, I will send the lectures you will need to finish this writing.

Read Robinson Crusoe and answer question below. Do not uncle outside sources only the text.

QUESTION>>>>>> (Robinson Crusoe’s father advises his son not to move from the “middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found, by long experience, was the best state in the world.” He then warns Crusoe that if he does, “God would not bless [him].” Consider Crusoe’s development and the end of the novel. What losses and gains–material, mental, characterological–does Crusoe experience as a result of his adventurism? Does Defoe’s narrative suggest that remaining in the middle state is best? Can Crusoe be regarded as blessed by the time the Novel concludes. )
