  • Title: Improving Patient Utilization in Nursing Homes: A Data-Driven Plan of Action

    Create a descriptive statistics table and histogram for one of the three variables in a data set. Write a 2-3 page recommendation and plan of action in a Word document and insert the table and histogram graphic into this document. Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the descriptive statistics output.
    To complete the assessments in this course, you will need to use data analysis software to complete statistical calculations, create graphs, and tabular summaries, and share your results in a Microsoft Word document. You will use Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Excel Analysis ToolPak add-in. Be aware that not all statistical calculations, graphs, and tabular summaries can be completed in this software, so you may need to do some work outside of the software.
    The data set contains the following variables:
    utilization (average number of patient days per month).
    satisfaction (patient satisfaction scores percentile rank).
    readmissions (readmission rate per month).
    Nursing home administration has the objectives of higher utilization, higher patient satisfaction, and lower readmissions. Select one of the three variables to analyze to create a plan of action for improvement. Provide a rationale for your selection. Base your analysis on average performance over the past 70 months.

  • Rhetorical Analysis: Understanding the Elements of Persuasion in a Speech Rhetorical Analysis of “I Co-Founded Facebook. It’s Time to Break It Up.”

    Assignment Prompt: Rhetorical Analysis
    Overview
    Before you start working on your own research argument essay, you will spend some time studying the arguments of others, to better understand how they successfully structured and presented a persuasive project. The rhetorical analysis is a foundational assignment to introduce you to the “rhetorical situation,” as a concept. The goal is for you to take what you learn about successful argument, and apply it to your own writing in this course.
    For this rhetorical analysis assignment, you will analyze a speech (see the options below) to gain a better understanding of “the rhetorical situation”- the audience, purpose, medium, and context–within which the speech was created. In addition to dissecting the speech’s rhetorical situation, you will also identify and discuss the author’s choice of rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) or evidence. *This is the one and only assignment that is not driven by your personal topic selection, as all the following assignments build on each other starting with the Annotated Bibliography and concluding with the Research Story.
    Expectations
    As a foundational assignment, the rhetorical analysis will help you to:
    Identify and analyze the rhetorical elements of a piece of communication
    Assess the effectiveness of a speaker’s choices, in relation to the rhetorical situation
    Build a foundation for future argument writing based on the skills and strategies identified and analyzed in this assignment 
    Requirements
    Length:  There is a 1000 word-minimum. All elements noted below are to be included in the analysis. See Assignment Organization.
    * if the minimum word count is not met, your assignment will be returned with no grade and a resubmission will be required.   
    Organization: Check out the table below for more information about the required content and conditions of each component:
    Component
    Content
    Conditions
    Introduction (Description)
    The intro is your first chance to reach your reader, engage their interest, and include all of the forecasting for the rest of the essay, such as the purpose of the writing project, and the parameters of your investigation. Be sure to focus on what the speaker is doing, how, and why, using the conditions as your guide.  
    Make sure that you clearly state the speaker and the title of the speech, along with any other details that will help provide the reader with context about your analysis.
    Place the speech in a broader context.
    Introduce the speech by characterizing the speaker and the occasion.
    Identify the audience and situation for which the speech is intended.
    Describe the speaker’s purpose.
    THESIS/CLAIM: Identify the rhetorical strategies that you have decided to discuss and indicate, in general terms, how they function to promote the author’s purpose in relation to the intended audience. 
    Body (Analysis)
    The body will include paragraphs that will have their own topic sentences developed with specifics from the speech. You may want to focus each paragraph on one rhetorical strategy, or you may focus on different parts of one strategy.  Useful strategies for developing paragraphs include:
    Defining the rhetorical strategy(ies).
    Quoting or paraphrasing examples to illustrate the writer’s use of the strategy (two or three examples generally suffice).
    Explaining how the example illustrates the strategy and how the strategy contributes to the writer’s purpose. 
    Conclusion (Evaluation)
    The conclusion serves the purpose of reiterating your thesis, briefly summarizing the main points of your analysis, and explaining the significance of your analysis. The significance of your analysis may be suggested by asking questions such as these:
    How do the rhetorical strategies that you discussed explain the effects the speaker achieved with his or her audience?
    Why were the strategies effective or not effective with the speaker’s core constituency and with other audiences?
    What do the rhetorical strategies suggest about the speaker’s agenda?
    Document Formatting: MLA formatting: Heading (name, assignment name, course name, date), original title, header (page numbers), line-spacing (double-spaced), 1”margins, and 12-point font size, Times New Roman or sans-serif font. The thesis must be underlined.
    Genre/Style: Formal analysis: thesis-driven and paragraph formatted

    the post must be 1100 words.

  • “Mastering the Art of Writing an Article Review: A Guide to Effective Evaluation”

    What is an Article Review and How One is Written
    An article review is a written evaluation of a particular work. It takes the form of an essay. It is
    done after careful reading, note-taking and analysis of what the author is trying to say. Your
    review’s length may vary according to the article’s size. Generally, two typed pages (12 fonts
    double-spaced) per article will suffice. Article Reviews are to be submitted in Blackboard. To
    submit the Reviews, go to the relevant week in Canvas (be guided by the syllabus), and the link
    will be available for the Review to be uploaded. Note that both your review and the article that was
    reviewed are to be uploaded.
    The review consists of four main parts that are placed in continuous narrative.
    A. Description of the work
    One or two paragraphs describing the work’s physical structure and any information about the
    author you may have discovered. The title and date of publication of the article, the name(s) of the
    author(s) and the name of the magazine/journal in which the article was published must be
    included in your description. Feel free to state whether the article is part of a series or any other
    information you may think is relevant.
    B. Statements of author’s goals:
    The author will state what he or she is trying to accomplish somewhere at the outset, either in the
    article’s preface or in its introduction. In your own words, or paraphrasing the author, state the
    objective(s) of the article (one or two paragraphs).
    C. Your verdict:
    Did the author achieve the goals? Or, were some achieved but not all? Were the conclusions valid,
    or can you show when he or she hedged the point? If the answer is “yes” show why and use
    examples from the text to bolster your praise. If the answer is “no” do the same thing to back your
    claim. Remember, you should not praise or condemn without evidence.
    D. Your Opinion of the whole Work:
    Did you like the article? Use examples to bolster your statements.
    Proofread your work before turning it in and watch your spelling. Again, a copy of the article that
    was reviewed must be submitted along with your review.
