Address the following questions
What have you learned in this course that will help you be a successful nursing student in your future classes?
What have you learned in this course that will help you continue to grow as a future nurse?
What was the one most personally useful or meaningful thing you learned in this course?
In what area would you like to continue to strengthen your knowledge or skills?
What did you learn about your time-management skills while working on these assignments that you will improve for your next classes?
Include a thesis statement in your introductory paragraph. It should follow the formula “I believe X because 1, 2, 3. Your thesis statement should be the last sentence in your first paragraph. Each paragraph should include supporting evidence to the “1, 2, 3” points and include answers to the question prompts to support your main claim.

Instructions: Perform an analysis of ONE of the following articles:
“Yes, It’s Okay to Throw Away a Book” by Michelle Cyca (she/her)
“It’s the End of the Web as We Know It” by Judith Donath and Bruce Schneier
“The Diminishing Returns of Having Good Taste” by W. David Marx (he/him)
Your analysis should consider both what the text is saying and how the message is being expressed. Your close reading should be double-spaced, in 12-point font (Calibri or Times New Roman only), and between 1000 and 1200 words. You will be evaluated on the following basis: plausibility of interpretation and analysis of the text; structure of argument; and writing (spelling, grammar and style. Students are required to submit an e- version of their midterms to our D2L Brightspace site. Please submit as .doc or .docx or .pdf only.
Points to consider as you construct your analytical essay:
Start by underlining or highlighting key words and phrases. Note anything that strikes you as surprising or significant, or that raises questions. It is a good idea to make notes in the margins.
Look for patterns in the things you have noticed about the text: repetitions, contradictions,
similarities.
Ask questions about the patterns you have noticed, especially how and why (and so what?)
What’s at stake? Why is the author so motivated to write about this subject?
Does the author use a central argument or example to focus his/her examination of a larger
issue? How? Why?
Organize and come up with an overall argument about what YOU think the text means. Explain HOW that meaning is made (by linking your claims to evidence found in the text).
Warning! Do not produce a plot summary, a simple observation, or a list of ideas from the text. You
need to make claims and arguments about how the passage produces meaning.
Remember: The author’s subject is NOT your subject. The author’s article is your subject. Produce an
analysis of the text. DO NOT produce your own essay on the author’s subject matter or engage in an
argument with the article using your own opinion. Stay analytical. It is a good idea to review the
previously assigned chapters and video lectures as you prepare your essay.
Important: This assignment is a close reading. This is NOT a research assignment. The only evidence you
will use to support your claims is your analysis of the text.
You are required to use either MLA or APA citation style for this assignment. I recommend strongly that
you visit OWL Purdue for assistance with proper in-text citation and bibliographical information.

I attached the outline for my research paper where you can see the sources I used and use one authen ntic source.
***In academic research, the use of authentic sources plays a crucial role in developing a strong argument and supporting claims. Share an experience where you encountered an authentic source that significantly impacted your research paper. Explain how this source enhanced the credibility and effectiveness of your argument. Additionally, discuss the challenges you faced in locating and evaluating such sources and how you overcame them. Feel free to include a reference list of the source(s) to enrich your response.
Write a paragraph in no less than 200 words. 

Below is a list of broad topics. Select ONE of the topics and use the concept mapping technique from the lecture notes and the videos to develop a more narrow topic in a thesis statement or research question format. Please see the sample concept map in your lecture notes and click on the link for a grading rubric for this assignment. You are creating a concept map and including a thesis statement or research question for your selected topic.
For those of you who struggle technologically with creating a concept map on a computer, you may use a youtube tutorial to assist you or you may make one on physical paper and submit a NEAT, CLEAR AND LEGIBLE photo of the assignment (anything less will not receive credit).

I need a two page rating basically saying how the process of using the shift method felt throughout ratings. I will send you a file with some questions on there and I also send you exactly the shift method is.

This assignment asks you to consider how and why a specific written text works (or does not work) rhetorically. You will be using the homework readings from the textbook, along with the class resources and discussions about rhetoric and the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) as you write your paper. Your analysis should focus on the specific argumentative strategies or elements that the author uses. Your paper should focus on analyzing the text and evaluating its use of rhetoric, not on summarizing the text or presenting your own personal response to the text’s topic or rhetorical strategy.
Instructions

Ella Houston, “Featuring Disabled Women in Advertisements: The Commodification of Diversity?” (pg. 561)

Research important contextual information such as who the writer is, when and in what publication the text was first published, and what conversation the text responds to. If you use any information gained from this research in your paper, make sure to document it with in-text citations and on the Works Cited page. 
Conduct your analysis. A successful rhetorical analysis essay will do the following:
Describe the rhetorical situation (purpose and original target audience) surrounding the text
Accurately (but briefly) summarize the text’s argument
Include a clear and precise thesis statement (an analytical claim with reasons about how the text works or does not work), along with organizational cues and patterns to guide its readers
Explain and analyze how the author’s specific writing choices help fulfill the author’s purpose and connect with (or fail to connect with) the target audience
Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of how rhetorical appeals are working in the text
Support its claims with quotations and/or paraphrases from the text
