  • Exploring Appearances vs. Reality in Roald Dahl’s “The Landlady”

    For your research paper, you will be asked to gather data from primary and secondary sources as
    an act of discovery. This involves utilizing academic sources , books, and commentary in
    addition to one of more of the readings we’ve completed this semester. As you begin to develop
    your topic ask yourself some of the following questions as a way to guide yourself. What is
    something you want to discover? What do you want to explore more? Consider questions you
    have about the author(s) and their work(s). Potential options include researching from a critical
    lens, themes, and commentaries.
    For example, if you were to focus on gender roles, find scholarly articles which discuss the
    role of gender within a story or perhaps a comparison of two. Perhaps your interest lies in
    language characters use and how it is a mark of social status. In this instance, you might consider
    articles that discuss such concepts. Another possible topic also includes uncovering one or
    more of the texts as a social commentary. The choice is up to you!
    As you prepare to write and research, choose a specific theme, symbol, topic, or aspect of
    literature from these texts that is of interest to you and that also gives you enough scope to write
    a full eight pages.
    A minimum of five scholarly sources are required for this essay. You are free to use more if
    needed. The paper must adhere to the MLA guidelines, and a works cited page is be required. 
    ___
    Please use the theme appearances vs. reality.
    And use the primary source: THE LANDLADY- by 
    ROALD DAHL 

  • “Revised Module Summaries for Final Exam Preparation”

    You have written all the modules, some modules were not good and I will provide the teachers feedback. Rewrite all modules!
    ONLY USE INFO FROM PROVIDED SLIDES
    Resummarize from scratch completley and only summarize the slides as instructed.
    1) The Final Exam consists of appropriately summarizing Lessons corresponding to Weeks 9-15 of the course. 
    2) Each Lesson should be summarized in no more than 10 sentences each.  (But at least 7 sentences each.) 
    3)It’s understood not everything in each Lesson is easily included within the 10-sentence limit.  Capture what you can from the start of the Lesson;  what you can from the conclusion of the Lesson;  and include relevant “highlights” from the “middle” of the Lesson.  (DO NOT copy-and-past “What We Will See” or “What We Have Seen” points from any of the Lessons.)

  • “The Power of Therapeutic Communication: Exploring its Impact on Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes”

    I need an evidence based paper on the impact of therapeutic communication between nurse and patient on patient satisfaction and outcome

  • “My Journey into Deviance: A Personal Account Using Becker and Goffman’s Theories”

    Describe a past or current involvement in a deviant behavior or way of being (e.g., stigma, a subculture). Using the course readings, explain how your involvement developed. If you haven’t engaged in deviance, use the readings to explain why you haven’t. Remember that what is or isn’t deviant in any given setting is shaped by the setting itself (school, work, home), and your age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic class, etc. Have you been able to move in and out of a deviant status, and if so, how? In short, how do you make sense of your involvement or lack of involvement in a given type of deviance? Use Becker (“Labeling Theory,” “Career Deviance,” “Becoming a Marihuana User”), Goffman (Stigma), and other relevant readings from the course to tell your story. (Be sure to discern whether your nonconformity is deviance, which is behavioral and presumably by choice; and stigma, a violation of identity norms, generally not by choice).
    Guiding questions (adjust these as needed to apply to stigma):
    How and/or why did you start engaging in deviance? Or when did you acquire your stigma or the awareness that you possess a stigma?
    Why do you continue to engage in deviance, if you do?
    Were you ever caught “deviating”? Labeled a deviant? Subjected to “correction?” With what consequences for your public identity and further social participation (e.g., were you treated differently by peers or adult authority figures, did you gain or lose friends, etc.)? Did it lead to secondary deviance? Or what sort of stigma-management work have you performed and why? Has this changed over time? Why?
    Changes in deviant behavior/activities over time or stigmatized identity: types of deviance engaged in, frequency or intensity of engagement:
    Did you pick up additional deviant behaviors/activities, drop one form of deviance for another, or move in and out of deviance or reduce/increase your engagement with deviance? Explain any such changes. Consider the influence of opportunity/exposure, positive or negative reactions of others, and broader processes of medicalization and/or criminalization.
    If you’ve stopped engaging in whatever form of deviance, why did you stop? If you haven’t stopped, why haven’t you? Consider actual or potential negative impacts on your health, family relations, friendships, etc., the likelihood of getting caught and the potential consequences for your educational and/or career aspirations, etc.
    Alternatively, you may interview someone else about their deviant career. Adjust the guiding questions as needed. Please speak to me if you want to pursue this option so I can provide you with additional guidance.
    Your papers should be approx. 4-5 pages in length, double-spaced with 1″ margins on all sides, using a standard 11 or 12-point font. DO NOT SUBMIT AN AI-GENERATED OR OTHERWISE GENERIC “SOCIOLOGY OF DEVIANCE” PAPER. I will not read it. The assignment calls for specificity and (personal) insight using the course material. Only a living, breathing, thinking-feeling human being can do that.
    Regarding citation style and references
    For in-line citations (in the body of your text), use the author’s last name and the year their work was published, in parentheses; for example: (Goffman 1963). Insert them directly after the idea you’re attributing to them, whether by direct quote (as indicated by double-quotation marks and a page reference) or paraphrase. If the citation comes at the end of your sentence, place the period after the citation, e.g., (Goffman 1963). See the “Quick Tips for ASA Style” PDF attached to this prompt and posted to Assignments on Bb.
    It’s always a good idea to include a list of references, in alphabetical order by the first author’s last name, single-spaced, at the end of any academic writing you do. For this assignment, use any standard format you like: MLA, APA, Chicago, etc., just use it consistently.

  • “Exam 1: Sampling, Data Types, and Graphical Summaries” “Statistics and Data Analysis Assignment: College Faculty Survey, Data Interpretation, and Graphical Representations”

    Submission Instructions
    Read each question carefully!
    Please clearly show all of your work to receive credit.
    To submit your work, either:
    Scan and upload a pdf version of your quiz, OR
    Typeset your answers in a word document, using a mathematics editor, and submit a pdf version, OR
    Typeset your work in our current online platform, CANVAS. Then copy/paste/screenshot your work into a doc, and submit it as a pdf, OR
    Use a phone app to scan your solutions to your phone and convert them to a pdf. I have used the tiny scanner app for Android in the past and it worked well for me, but please check if this app meets your privacy/security standards,
    I will be unable to grade your work if it is too messy or hard to follow. Improper syntax and not using whiteout/eraser in an effort to write legible solutions will result in point deduction.
    Please write your name on the document that you upload.
    Assignment Quality Instructions
    Independent of the format you upload your solutions (scanned, typed, etc. ), please:
    do not write answers next to the Quiz/Exam questions (this includes fill in the blanks and True/False questions). Answers submitted in this format will be skipped.
    do not attempt to squeeze full solutions to the right of a question with multiple parts or write answers between sentences.
    do not use multiple arrows to point to different parts of a page or different pages. This is okay if you want to point to objects in a computer output, label an item in a picture, etc.
    do not combine answers to exercises(For example: write your answer/solution for (c) and an answer/solution for (d), but not provide a combined answer for both (c) & (d))
    do not change the sequence/order of the exercises (For example: your solutions should have answer to question 1, then answer to question 2, then answer to question 3, etc. not answer to question 3, followed by answer to question 7, followed by answer to question 4, etc. ). If you don’t have an answer to a question at the moment, come back to it later, leave space, or insert a new page in your work at a later time.
    Start your work on a new blank page; however, 
    you are allowed to change the quiz/exam into a word document and include answers after each question (This is okay!). But ensure you use a different font, more spacing, and/or highlight your work/answer. You could use bold font for the questions, for example.
    you are allowed to copy/paste the questions in its exact format but be consistent in writing your answers below them. The idea here is that your work is easy to follow by you (the writer) and me (the reader). This will be helpful to you when you want to review/study for the Final or refresh at a later date.
    Clearly label where each exercise or sub-exercise begins. This is already a requirement, but some students often forget to do this. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the answer being provided is for the question being asked. 
    Ensure your screenshots are not too large or too small (Canvas has a limitation in the amount I can zoom in/out, in some cases making it infeasible to grade a solution). 
    I understand the challenges of uploading work in digital form, which is why I have provided everyone with multiple options. If you have any questions about the above requirements, feel free to reach out to me to discuss further or provide clarification. 🙂
