How to write a great research paper

Seyed Hamid Hashemi Petrudi

COMPOSITION II Assignment Sheet: Research-Based Argument Paper Assignment: In an original paper of at least 3000 words, articulate and support (through reasoning and research) an argument related to your theme. For this paper, your thesis statement should be the argument you are supporting. For example, for a research paper on the death penalty, a thesis statement might look like this: Capital punishment denies equal treatment under the law and violates the tenets of civil society; it should be abolished in the United States. Begin by formulating a research question. A research question is the question you plan to answer in your paper. You should make a specific, original argument—ideally, your argument should be a “new” argument. Avoid generic topics like gay marriage, immigration, abortion, capital punishment, etc. The best papers will add something new to scholarly discussion on the topic. See Chapter 3 of the Palmquist book for advice about forming a good research question.You may define “argument” in one of three ways: 1. You may make a philosophical or theoretical argument. 2. You may propose a solution or course of action in response to a problem or opportunity. 3. You may take a position on a controversial issue. Goals of the assignment: 1. Develop a research question and an argumentative thesis statement. 2. Use well-developed body paragraphs to support the thesis statement. A well-developed body paragraph includes a topic sentence, some of your own analysis and/or explanation, some evidence, and a conclusion sentence. Aim for paragraphs of about 8-10 typed lines in length. 3. Locate, read, and use scholarly research materials effectively and responsibly. 4. Use rhetorical strategies to appeal to readers’ sense of credibility, logic, and emotion. 5. Use grammar, language, and organizational principles in clear, correct, and effective ways. Your paper should include: 1. An introductory paragraph and thesis statement that introduce the broad topic you are exploring and articulate the argument you plan to support. 2. Body paragraphs that support your thesis statement through facts and examples, research, and reasoning. 3. Topic and transitional sentences within paragraphs. You may use headings to organize different parts of the paper, but headings are not required. 4. A conclusion paragraph and a correctly formatted APA References page. 5. In-text citations that refer to or quote from 11-14 scholarly sources. 6. A correctly formatted abstract and APA title page. Forming a Research Question: As you read and summarize sources for the annotated bibliography, several potential research questions should emerge. The issues, questions, and arguments presented in the sources you have located should provide ideas for your own research question. Use the annotated bibliography as a tool as you form a research question and thesis statement.Research: You must make use of at least eleven scholarly sources. These eleven sources can draw fr ...

Writing Project #5: Extended Argument The objective of this assignment is to construct an extended argument that builds on Writing Project # 4 (proposal and annotated bibliography). Writing Project #5 asks you to pick a side and argue for that position. It also is critical to take “the other sides” into account (and refute them), as that will make your own argument more effective. In an argumentative paper, you need to · Make a specific claim with your thesis about what you are arguing should happen concerning the topic. · Choose a specific structure for your argument. · Find convincing reasons to support your claim. · Inform your audience about the issue you are analyzing. · Do research in order to justify your reasons, read/evaluate the material critically, and provide sufficient evidence for each reason. · Analyze the opposing views and write about them honestly andfairly. Research Focus For this assignment, we will focus on using the information we find, in our own writing: · Using various resources to select credible and appropriate sources. · Integrating those quotations and paraphrases appropriately to support the writer’s argument, with accurate APA citation throughout text and in References page. · Note that visual aids are critical to this assignment, so you will want to select, use, and discuss at least two (2) visuals: charts, photographs, maps, drawings, cartoons, graphs, etc. Be sure to explain and discuss them in your own text, so they connect to your arguments, and be sure to cite them appropriately and accurately. Your essay should include the following parts: · Introduction: this is where you tell your readers what the essay is about. This is also where you need to make sure that you capture your readers’ attention, provide background information, describe existing arguments and counterarguments, etc. For this paper, your introduction need not be limited to a single paragraph. · Thesis: this is where you establish your debatable claim. Make sure that your claim is very specific. Your thesis should include a brief outline of your whole paper and may appear somewhere within the first two pages of the essay, towards the end of your introduction. · Body: · Each paragraph in the body of your paper needs to have a main point that you can support with specific evidence. That evidence must be cited appropriately and correctly. You should include appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. · This is also where you outline opposing points of view—at least acknowledging them and, as appropriate, refuting those other claims. · Conclusion: this is where you close your essay by briefly recapping your essay, describing its connection with similar issues, and stating the significance of your paper with future directions and implications of your research. · Works Cited: The Works Cited page is not your annotated bibliography – it should follow proper APA format for a Works Cited page and reference only the sources that you include i.

There are two objectives for the Course Project. To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical) To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis. These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended. Proposal Topic Ideas The proposal (one page is due during Week 3) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred); a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition; a complex real estate purchase; a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues); a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government; a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services. The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course. Guidelines Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages. Paper must apply APA formatting. Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation. Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills.

The employee life cycle is a foundational framework for robust and healthy employee experience and is a major contributor to the success of the organization. It is also a powerful mechanism that can, when well-designed and properly used, make a company a workplace that employees want to be at every day of the week and creativity and innovation show up even when leaders are just hoping for it. Learners are asked to respond to the following question for this last discussion in the course: Which parts of the employment life cycle do you consider most important and why?

THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AND VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE: AN ASSESSMENT OF PREPAREDNESS TO HELP STACEY BETH PLICHTA, SC.D. TANCY VANDECAR-BURDIN, M.A. Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA REBECCA K ODOR, M.S.W. Virginia Department of Health, Richmond, VA SHANI REAMS, A.A.S. Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance, Richmond, VA YAN ZHANG, M.S. Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA ABSTRACT The Emergency Department (ED) is a key source of care for victims of sexual violence but there is little information available about the extent to which EDs are prepared to provide this care. This study examines the structural and process factors that the ED has in place to assist victims. A survey of all 82 publicly accessible EDs in the Commonwealth of Virginia was conducted (RR 76%). In general, the EDs provide the recommended medical care to victims. However, at least half do not have the needed resources in place to effectively assist victims and most (80%) do not provide regular training to their medical staff about sexual violence. Further, almost one-quarter do not have a relationship with a local rape crisis center. It is recommended that each ED partner with local rape crisis centers to provide training to their staff and to ensure continuity of support for victims. It is also suggested that the state government explore ways in which a forensic (SANE) nurse be made available to every victim of sexual violence that presents to the ED for medical assistance. Ideally, each ED would become part of a community-wide Sexual Assault Response Team 286 JHHSA WINTER 2006 (SART) in order to provide comprehensive care to victims and thorough evidence collection and information to law enforcement. INTRODUCTION This study seeks to examine the extent to which Emergency Departments (EDs) in the Commonwealth of Virginia are prepared to provide care for victims of sexual violence through an examination of both structural and process factors that are currently in place. Many studies indicate that sexual violence victimization has both long- term and short-term health consequences (Plichta and Falik, 2001; see also Rentoul and Applebloom 1997; Cloutier, Martin and Poole, 2002; Bohn and Holz, 1996). The ED is a key source of care for victims of sexual assault. It is one of the first points of entry to care. Competent care by professionals trained in treating sexual assault victims is critical to the timely recovery of physical and mental health. The ED also plays a critical role in the collection of evidence that may lead to the conviction of the perpetrator and a recent study found that specially trained (forensic) nurses perform this function significantly better than do other staff (Sievers, Murphy and Miller, 2003). Forensic nurses are registered nurses (R.N.’s) who have advanced training in the examination of sexual assault victims; this includes training on legal aspe.

The Elements and Principles of Design A Guide to Design Terminology The elements of design are some of the basic building blocks that make up the design or artwork. Understanding and using this terminology can help the designer articulate what works and what doesn’t work in a design, and to think critically about a design on a more conscious level. Combined, the elements and principles of design can make for a strong, complete and well-established composition. The principles of Gestalt, which arise from the elements of design, are included at the end of this document. Learning to use these elements and principles will be the focus of Beginning Design. The elements of design are: Point, Line, Form, Value, Texture, Shape, Space, Color (Color is covered in Art 110; we will be focusing on black, white, and gray scale values.) DEFINITIONS: A Point is a position in space. A Line is the path of a moving point. Two points connected make a line. Lines often imply motion, and can be rendered in a variety of ways. Contour lines or outlines, define the boundary between shapes. Lines can create texture or value when used in crosshatching. In addition to these types of actual lines, our eyes can invent implied lines, such as in dotted lines, or where area boundaries describe lines that may not be there. Shape is a two dimensional form. The variety of possible shapes is endless. Several common ones are as follows: • Simple Geometric: circles, squares, triangles are some of the examples. • Complex Geometric: straight and curved shapes that have more sides and angles. • Curvilinear: French curves, ellipses, circles and ovals used in combination. • Accidental: an example of this might be a coffee ring or paint splatters. Form is a shape with dimension, an object existing in three dimensional space physically or implied. Value is the tone created by black, white and shades of gray. The value or tone of an element can create mass, dimension, emphasis or volume. Texture can be actual or visual. • Actual texture is tactile: you can feel it by touching it. • Visual texture are the markings of a two dimensional artwork that imply actual texture. Space is an illusion or feeling of 3-dimensionality, which can be created in a two-dimensional design in several ways, for example: • Overlapping one object in front of another; • Using differences in value, amount of detail, etc. between elements; • Using techniques related to linear perspective, such as differences in size or height on page between elements The principles of design are: Unity, Variety, Movement, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, Proportion, and Pattern. DEFINITIONS: Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the elements and principles of design. The most basic quality of a design or artwork, unity gives a piece the feeling of being an integrated human expression. The princi.

The eligibility requirements to become a family nurse practitioner include completion of “APRN core (advance physical assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology), supervised clinical hours, completion of an accredited graduate program with evidence of an academic transcript, and an active nurse license” (American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2021). The value associated with certification as an FNP is very personal to me. Along with providing higher quality care to clientele, I will have a more fulfilled inner sense of purpose and also be able to provide for my family in a higher capacity than I was previously able to, with an estimated average nurse practitioner salary being over $100,000 annually in the state of Wisconsin. Achieving both my master's and nurse practitioner certification would allow my employer, fellow professional comrades, and most of all; my clients, to have a higher sense of security knowing I’ve worked and studied hard to bring them the highest quality care available. Staying up to date on my continuing education and state-of-the-art processes and pathology will also instill confidence in my clientele to not only continue coming to me with their individual and family healthcare needs but likely will ensure referrals into my practice. Any time a nurse genuinely takes on a holistic approach towards the practical application of nursing theory, a client is in a better position for patient-centered care, maintaining anonymity, and ensuring positive effective communication during the care process. In the nursing profession, nurses need to not only advocate for their clients, but themselves by participating in associations that work towards advancing the field through by working towards lower nurse-to-client ratios to decrease burnout, leadership education, and opportunity, and also grants to advance continuing education. .

The Emerging Role of Data Scientists on Software Development Teams Miryung Kim UCLA Los Angeles, CA, USA [email protected] Thomas Zimmermann Robert DeLine Andrew Begel Microsoft Research Redmond, WA, USA {tzimmer, rdeline, andrew.begel}@microsoft.com ABSTRACT Creating and running software produces large amounts of raw data about the development process and the customer usage, which can be turned into actionable insight with the help of skilled data scientists. Unfortunately, data scientists with the analytical and software engineering skills to analyze these large data sets have been hard to come by; only recently have software companies started to develop competencies in software-oriented data analytics. To understand this emerging role, we interviewed data scientists across several product groups at Microsoft. In this paper, we describe their education and training background, their missions in software engineering contexts, and the type of problems on which they work. We identify five distinct working styles of data scientists: (1) Insight Providers, who work with engineers to collect the data needed to inform decisions that managers make; (2) Modeling Specialists, who use their machine learning expertise to build predictive models; (3) Platform Builders, who create data platforms, balancing both engineering and data analysis concerns; (4) Polymaths, who do all data science activities themselves; and (5) Team Leaders, who run teams of data scientists and spread best practices. We further describe a set of strategies that they employ to increase the impact and actionability of their work. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.2.9 [Management] General Terms: Management, Measurement, Human Factors. 1. INTRODUCTION Software teams are increasingly using data analysis to inform their engineering and business decisions [1] and to build data solutions that utilize data in software products [2]. The people who do collection and analysis are called data scientists, a term coined by DJ Patil and Jeff Hammerbacher in 2008 to define their jobs at LinkedIn and Facebook [3]. The mission of a data scientist is to transform data into insight, providing guidance for leaders to take action [4]. One example is the use of user telemetry data to redesign Windows Explorer (a tool for file management) for Windows 8. Data scientists on the Windows team discovered that the top ten most frequent commands accounted for 81.2% of all of invoked commands, but only two of these were easily accessible from the command bar in the user interface 8 [5]. Based on this insight, the team redesigned the user experience to make these hidden commands more prominent. Until recently, data scientists were found mostly on software teams whose products were data-intensive, like internet search and advertising. Today, we have reached an inflection point where many.

The economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, also known as the global financial crisis, was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The general situation of financial markets has been additionally complicated by the introduction of new financial products as well as other modes of operations including globalization. The global financial market seems to be playing a different function in our economy and it has been working because of new regulations. The introduction of new trade platforms, online access to information, integration and globalization of the market have caused some revisions of finance theories. What are reliable predictors of economic and financial crises (list at least 3 of them)? Describe some achievements and some pending issues in context of a global crisis. Are we still in danger of economic and financial crises today (please refer to current Covid-19 situation)?

The Early Novel in the Western World Listen to the Audio Early Western literature, especially the picaresque tale, flourished in Spain. These often quite long stories narrated the adventures of a soldier of fortune living the carefree life on the open road and getting involved in all sorts of intrigues and love affairs. The Spanish also had tales similar to the King Arthur legends, dealing with the adventures on the road of brave and dashing knights who were superheroes; tremendous in battle and noble and chivalrous toward their true loves. The first known major novelist of the Western world was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616), whose life span closely parallels Shakespeare’s. His Don Quixote (written between 1612 and 1615) remains one of the most popular and beloved of all novels. The central character is an old man who has read so many stories of brave knights that he has gone mad and believes himself to be one of them. Riding a broken-down old horse named Rocinante and attended by his faithful squire Sancho Panza, he goes off in search of glorious adventure (Figure 4.1). Intended originally as a satire on the ridiculous excesses of the wandering knight story, Don Quixote became, in the opinion of many, a tragic tale of an idealist who sees the world not as it is but as it ought to be: a world in which people are driven by the noblest of motives, chivalry prevails, and love means forever. As an adventure story, Don Quixote influenced the work of many novelists who followed, setting the pattern for long, loosely structured yarns that would find a home in the magazine serials of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The serial was a publishing gimmick, each episode ending with the hero or heroine in a perilous strait, and thus keeping the reader coming back to purchase more issues. The English novel had its true beginnings in the eighteenth century. The coming of the magazine fostered a passion for fiction that had potential novelists busily scribbling. But the period was also one of a passion for science and its search for truth. Those who dictated the taste of the reading public insisted that a lengthy published work, to be worth the time spent in reading it, must at least pretend to be a true story. Consequently, much fiction was passed off as biography or autobiography, and this meant that the author’s real name was often omitted. For example, Gulliver’s Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift and Robinson Crusoe (1719) by Daniel Defoe, two enduringly popular works of fiction, pretended to be nonfictional accounts of actual adventures, and Pamela: Virtue Rewarded (1740), by Samuel Richardson was an epistolary novel, consisting solely of letters “written” by its 15-year-old heroine. American writers were slow to gain recognition and respect abroad. In the early nineteenth century, British critics were asking, “Who reads an American book or goes to see an American play?” These questions incurred the wrath of American authors, who promp.
