  • Identify the types of errors that you make most often and what strategy you will use to minimize making this type of error in the future.
  • State what you have learned by analyzing your mistakes.

Why do we make mistakes?   The old adage that “nobody is perfect” is certainly true but we can LEARN from our mistakes.   Start to analyze your mistakes.  In this analysis consider these categories for your mistakes.
1.         Conceptual Error:  The error is due to a misunderstanding of a concept.  Name the concept, at least to yourself.  For example, the concept might be finding the absolute value of a number.  The process of naming the concept will help you to find additional information about that concept and strengthen your understanding.
2.         Calculation Error:  In your judgment, you understood the concept or concepts involved but you made a miscalculation.  Name the type of calculation error.  For example, a type of calculation error might be that you applied the wrong rule for adding signed numbers or that you rounded the number incorrectly.
3.         Transcription Error:  The error resulted from miscopying of the problem or miscopying a portion of the problem from one step to another. Identify the transcription error. For example, you may have copied the wrong problem or copied part of one problem and part of another.  Another common transcription error is to leave out a number or sign as you copy from one line to the next.
4.         Interpretation Error. We answer the wrong question or do not answer all the questions.We often find ourselves anticipating what a problem is asking us to do without carefully reading the instructions.  For example, you might be asked to give the new amount in a percent increase problem instead of just the amount of increase.
By increasing your awareness of the type of mistakes that you make the most often, you will begin to make them less often

Argumentative Research Paper

 
This paper requires you to take a clear stance on a controversial topic and support your thesis with solid research. This paper will be 4-5 pages and will include at least 6 sources.
 
Consider the following:
· Before you choose a topic, you need to brainstorm several research questions. Consider which research question may be most appropriate for the scope and requirements of this assignment.
· You need to ensure that your topic has at least two distinct, arguable sides/positions/perspectives.
· You must make sure that your argument is not centered on a belief system (religion) or personal bias (prejudice).
· You may NOT choose a topic on the “Forbidden Topics List” or a topic you have previously worked with.
· Who cares most about this issue? How could you appeal especially to them in your research paper?
· Think about your plans for the type of argument you want to make (i.e., purpose, occasion, and kind).
· Think about the support you anticipate using. How might you use the appeals?
· Where will you start your research?
· Why is this issue important to you or society? Why will it be worthwhile for you to research your topic? What will you learn?
 
The Forbidden Topics List
The following is a list of subjects that have been written about time and again. Your chances of successfully persuading the opposite side to believe as you do (in 4 pages) are practically zero. Strive for some topics that are new and innovative, or things that go beyond the old standbys listed below. Unless an astounding advance has been made, or a wealth of new information uncovered, there isn’t going to be anything new you can say about any of these topics that we haven’t already heard.
 
 
· Abortion
· Adoption
· Anorexia/Bulimia/eating disorders in general, or fad diets, etc.
· Racism/Sexism/Ageism
· Euthanasia/Assisted Suicide
· Abuse (Domestic, Substance, Child, etc.)
· Steroids
· Global warming
· Capital Punishment/ Death Penalty
· Smoking/Vaping
· Drug Legalization
· Gun Control
· The Driving Age
· Abstinence/Safe Sex/Teenage Pregnancy
· Conspiracy theories
· Texting while driving
· Immigration
· Gay marriage
· Virtually any topic where your primary source of defense rests in 1 main source
· Virtually any topic where your main source of information is only on the Internet
· Virtually any topic where your main evidence is opinion-based
· Any topic that attempts to link two or more of the above
· Any topic you have previously worked with
 
Note: If you’re finding it impossible to come up with a topic on your own, see https://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/04/200-prompts-for-argumentative-writing/
 
Your essay should include the following parts:
· Introduction: this is where you tell your readers what the essay is about. It may be necessary to define your topic, give a brief history of the issue, or relate an interesting story. This is also where you need to make sure that you capture readers’ attention.
· Thesis: this is where you establish your claim (What are you trying to prove in this paper?). Make sure that your thesis statement is specific. Your thesis could include a brief outline of your whole paper (think “points”) and should occur within the intro.
· Body:
· Each paragraph in the body of your paper needs to have a main point that you can support with specific evidence and that supports your thesis clearly.
· Support your main points through a close analysis of at least six sources. To support your claims, you will need to quote from the texts and cite your sources.
· Make sure to acknowledge the other side of the argument in some way: by conceding to and/or refuting some points from that side.
· Conclusion: this is where you round up your essay: briefly restate what your essay was about, what you think the ultimate outcome of your issue will be on society, or the future directions for this issue, etc.
· Works Cited Page: This essay must include a works cited page in which you list the correct MLA citations for the each of the sources you use in your essay. Also, remember to have corresponding in-text citations for all of the sources on your works cited page.

The Impact of Chronic Illness

QUESTION

Nursing

The Impact of Chronic Illness

Identify one person from the illness group you chose in Week 1. The person should not be a patient at the facility in which you work. You can use friends, family members, or coworkers. Do not use the person’s name in the paper but only initials. Administer the questionnaire you created in Week 1 to that person. Compile the data and analyze the responses to better illustrate where this person, his or her family, and friends are in relation to accepting the diagnosis in relation to the standard health or illness definitions. The analysis should also include coping skills, treatment, and support aspects of the illness. Identify how this will direct care plan development for the chosen illness group.

Compile a report of your interview with the questions you created, the responses you received, your analysis, and your interpretation of how it will affect planning care for the group in a 4 page Microsoft Word document.
