    This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography for two (2) of your sources

    This week, you will submit an annotated bibliography for two (2) of your sources for the final project paper. Both sources should be scholarly (peer-reviewed) and from the APUS Library. Read the instructions for upcoming assignments so you will have a good idea of sources you might need.
    Each source (listed in alphabetical order) should have a complete Works Cited or References entry for the citation style you are using, as well as an annotation, which should be a paragraph or two summarizing and evaluating the article. Information about the author’s credentials and publisher’s credibility may be included. Value of the sources to the final project paper should be part of the annotation. (Summaries/evaluations under one hundred words each will be considered under-developed.)
    Write in third person only. It’s a good idea to include a signal phrase, direct quote or paraphrase, and a parenthetical citation within each summary.
    To format your Works Cited or References entries, you may use the library cite button discussed in the week four Lessons. Include the article’s web link (the https address—not just the doi) at the end of your Works Cited entry. Just copy and paste it from your web browser, if it is not already included. Examples are shown in the attached Template (which you will download) and Sample (which is attached to show you an example of what a good submission looks like).
    Submit your assignment as a Word document attached to the assignment link so it can be automatically processed through Turnitin. Use the template provided. You can save the template with a title like this: Your Name_Annotated Bib.

     Deconstruct a standard that is appropriate for your 8th Grade Math. Use the Deconstructing Standards template in Module 3 to help you.
    Identify KUDs: Knowledge, Understandings, Dos

    From the standard, pull out the key understandings. Find the key nouns (concepts), verbs (measurable behavior), and context.  These make up your key understandings.  You are looking for “bite-sized” chunks of the standard that can be taught and assessed individually.  Note:  There will most often be multiple key understandings in a standard.

    Create at least five learning objectives

    Turn these key understandings into learning targets. The nouns, verbs, and context from the key understandings must be in the objectives.  This makes the objectives congruent to the standard.

    Use the Bloom’s Taxonomy chart in Canvas to assist.
    You will provide feedback to one of your peers on their Activity: Standards using the following:

    Praise – what did your peer do well?
    Question – are there any parts are unclear? Are there any disconnects between the standard, KUDs, and learning objective(s)? Are the “dos” – assessments aligned with the learning objectives?
    Suggest – make suggestions for improvement

  • It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction

    It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction

    It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction to Statistics class. Why is it important for a person working in health care to understand statistical concepts? To answer this question, please provide two specific examples incorporating two different statistical terms from “Visual Learner Statistics” (https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/the-visual-learner-v2.1.html). Do not use the same examples as those in a prior post. You may reference other articles in this topic or conduct your own scholarly research if more statistical terms are needed.
    Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

    Who are you? What do you believe? What cognitive biases do you have? These are b

    Who are you? What do you believe? What cognitive biases do you have? These are big questions to answer, but necessary to consider before moving forward in your professional life. In a one- to two-page paper, consider the people and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, how you see life, and, most importantly, how they have shaped your biases. List and then describe a minimum of three things you believe to be true, such as the existence of God, right vs. wrong, morality, and what it means to be a “good” person. Explain, in detail, how you acquired these beliefs (including the other people or experiences that have influenced you most), why these beliefs are important and how these beliefs will influence how you engage with people and policies in your future career. Do not simply say something like, “I believe in doing the right thing because it is the right thing.” You must really dig deep into your psyche and analyze your own perspective of the world; make your brain hurt! Most importantly, discuss at least two cognitive biases that you might be most subject to and why. Integrate these into your three beliefs and analyze the ways in which they shape you. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions, but your in-depth insight is important. Your paper must be in APA Style, typed, and proofread. You do not need an abstract or outside references for this paper. Remember we acquire beliefs largely from our social circles (especially parents) but ask yourself the origins of your beliefs. (If you talk about God, make sure you say that his existence is real)

    Write a 4–6 page analysis of your previously selected current problem or issue in healthcare, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications. APA FORMAT For this assessment, you will analyze the same current healthcare problem or issue topic area you selected for Assessments 2 and 3 (mine was HEALTH INFORMATION PRIVACY). To explore the chosen topic, use the first four topics of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach for critical thinking. Start by defining the healthcare problem or issue based on the selected healthcare topic. Provide details about the problems or issues that are part of the chosen topic, and identify causes for the problems or issues. Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic you are discussing by using articles you found for Assessment 2 or by searching the Capella library using the BSN Program Library Research Guide. Use scholarly information to explain a healthcare problem or issue related to your selected topic. Cite credible, relevant sources to validate and reinforce the information used to explain the healthcare topic. Analyze the problem or issue. Describe the setting or context for the problem or issue. Describe the reasons that make the problem or issue important to you. Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue. Compare and contrast potential solutions for the problem or issue. Describe potential solutions. Compare and contrast your opinion with other opinions you find in sources from the Capella library. Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing. Explain how the ethical principles (beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice) apply if your potential solution were implemented. Describe what would be necessary to implement the proposed solution. Explain what ethical principles need to be considered (beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice) and how they apply if your potential solution were implemented. How would bias need to be considered? Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making. Explain how the solution you present will benefit or help to improve your selected topic as it relates to at least one of the Four Spheres of Care: Wellness, Disease Prevention. Chronic Disease Management. Regenerative/Restorative Care. Hospice and Palliative Care. Organize your paper using the following structure and headings: Title page. (A separate page.) Introduction. (A one-paragraph statement about the purpose of the paper.) Identify the elements of the problem, issue, or question. Analyze, define, and frame the problem, issue, or question. Consider solutions, responses, or answers. Choose a solution, response, or answer. Implementation of the potential solution. Conclusion. (One paragraph.) Academic Requirements Your paper should meet the following requirements: Length: Include at least 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, in addition to the title page and reference page. Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12 point. Writing: Produce text with minimal grammar, usage, spelling, and mechanical errors.
