HUM 1050 – Introduction to Literature

Assignment #2: Two Mediums – Evaluative Essay – Initial Submission

For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story “The bear came over the mountain” (Munro, 2013) and the film 
Away from Her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will begin working on this assignment with reading, viewing, drafting.

For this essay, the short story is the source material. You are going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. First, you must establish the criteria. What makes the short story successful?  You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper. 

This essay should:

· have specific criteria, using the short story as source material

· use that criterion to make judgments about the film

· support the judgment with evidence from the text and film

· be 1000 words long

· have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)

· In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis.  Remember — this judgment is not about the film or text is good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story. 

· include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs

· be written using APA formatting

· use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page

· avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)

· be submitted as a MS Word .docx file

 

References and Citations:

Citation: (Munro, 2013).

Add paragraph numbers with direct quotes (Munro, 2013, para. 4).

All citations should be: (Egoyan et al., 2006).

Add timestamp number with direct quotes.

Distractors in our Environments

Discussion

Purpose

This week's graded discussion topic relates to the following Course Outcome (CO).

Preparing the Discussion

· Discussions are designed to promote dialogue between faculty and students, and students and their peers. In discussions students:

· Demonstrate understanding of concepts for the week

· Integrate outside scholarly sources when required

· Engage in meaningful dialogue with classmates and/or instructor

· Express opinions clearly and logically, in a professional manner

· Use the rubric on this page as you compose your answers.

· Best Practices include:

· Participation early in the week is encouraged to stimulate meaningful discussion among classmates and instructor.

· Enter the discussion often during the week to read and learn from posts.

· Select different classmates for your reply each week.

Discussion Question

Distractions are everywhere. They may include cellphones, multiple alarms sounding, overhead paging, monitors beeping, and various interruptions that disrupt your clinical practice.

Give an example of an ethical or legal issue that may arise if a patient has a poor outcome or sentinel event because of a distraction such as alarm fatigue. What does evidence reveal about alarm fatigue and distractions in healthcare when it comes to patient safety?

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in the last assignment and the four systematic reviews you selected in previously.
• Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected and analyzed.
• Review and use the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template attached below.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template attached below. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest. (please APA title page)

Part B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page APA format critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research. (please provide at least 4 references)

(Remember that part A is the appraisal matrix completed with your four articles.)

Part B is a 1-2 page p a p e r in which you suggest the best practices (an intervention recommendation) that you base on the findings within the four articles you are using.)

Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:

· The role genetics plays in the disease.

· Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.

· The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.

· The cells that are involved in this process.

· How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
