Remember when you first learned about theories in school? There were the Big Bang Theory, the Theory of Evolution, Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation (a law is a theory that is so universally accepted that it is considered an absolute), Archimedes’ Buoyancy Principle, and the Three Laws of Thermodynamics. You can probably describe them even if you don’t have them memorized. You also probably remember Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Erikson’s Eight Stages of Psychosocial Development, and Pavlov’s Theory of Learning. There are many more that you have been exposed to in your education. What makes them theories? How do you identify a theory? As a practicing nurse, can you identify the concepts and propositions of the theories of Orem, Watson, Roy, Henderson, Peplau, Leininger,, Rogers, and Nightingale? What makes them theories and what makes them nursing theories?As a scholar within a profession, your decisions and practice are based upon the theories of the profession. Research using quantitative measures is used to test theories. Qualitative research is used to create theory. The practice of nursing is based upon well documented and supported theories with evidence well established in peer reviewed literature. A nursing scholar with an advanced degree must be intimately familiar with nursing theory, how to evaluate it, and how to use it.

Sources of scientific information.

/in /by

In this learning block, you will consider different sources of scientific information. Which sources are the most trustworthy? Where does the information presented in articles and news stories come from in the first place? Sources of information are an important part of scientific discovery. The readings and activities in this learning block will help you learn how to recognize the differences in sources of information. After participating in this learning block, you will be able to:

Recognize the differences among a variety of sources of scientific information

In this activity, you will evaluate the results of your library research and some websites for credibility using the techniques and tools covered in the Shapiro Library tutorial.

First, review the Website Evaluation Template document. Follow the instructions in that document and complete the table using two of the six sites in the Shapiro Library tutorial. Note that your completed table will not need to be submitted, but you will need to fill it out to complete this activity.

Then use the information from your completed table to address the following:

Report your scores for your two chosen sites from the Shapiro Library website tutorial. Be sure to include hyperlinks to the specific articles and sub-pages you examined in your work.
Which of your two chosen resources would you consider to be more valid? Explain your choice.
Next, use the news story you selected and the results of your Shapiro Library research and respond to the following:

Briefly summarize (in 1 to 2 sentences) the natural science topic featured in your chosen news story.
How would you go about finding more information on the topic that you chose? List at least two different sources that you would consider reliable.
Briefly explain why you think these are reliable sources of information to help you find out more about your topic.
As you complete this assignment, keep in mind that your answers to these questions or closely related questions will be part of your Project 1: Topic Exploration Graphic Organizer submission at the end of this theme. It is recommended that, in addition to entering the answers to the questions below, you save your answers in a Word document that you can refer to later when completing Project 1.

Multiculturalism in America

/in /by

Requirements:

In our discussions of short stories, poems, and T.C. Boyles novel The Tortilla Curtain, many topics/issues connected with multiculturalism have been raised. In this essay, you will demonstrate careful analysis of one of these topics/issues as presented in 2-3 texts from the semesters readings. This essay is a literary analysis of theme(s) the texts explored.

Book= The Tortilla Curtain by T.C Boyle

1.      Quoting from texts:

o  In order to write a literary analysis of texts, you must quote specific words, sentences, images, etc., from the texts as evidence to support your observations. Because this is a relatively short essay, you need to be deliberate in the quotes you choose. They should not be long because most of the essay should be your own discussion of the quotes relevance to your essays thesis.

o  You should not quote events. If you are going to talk about a specific event in the story, you only need to identify the event and then move directly to your point about the events relevance to your thesis. For example, you could begin: When  _______ .  By beginning with when, your reader knows where you are in the story.

o  Consider how much your reader needs to know. For this essay, your reader knows the texts, so you do not need to provide extensive plot summary. Your reader only needs enough information to know which scene you are talking about. However, you need to say quite a lot when you are discussing your thoughts about the book.

o  Make sure every quote includes an in text citation in MLA style. You must include page numbers for quotes always!

o  Because you are using more than one text, your in-text citation needs to include authors last name AND page number.

o  Warning: If you are retelling large chunks of the story, your essay is in trouble! This essay is not a book report. It is an analysis.

2.      Secondary sources are prohibited. In this essay, you are exploring your own thoughts about the texts. Therefore, do not consult outside sources. Trust your own thinking, class discussion, and online discussions.

3.      Incorporating your own experience:

o  In this essay, you are welcomed to draw on your experiences as a way of expanding your discussion.

o  If you choose to incorporate a personal experience, it must be brief and must illustrate a point you are making.

o  Keep reminding yourself that this essay is about texts. If you catch yourself writing more than a few sentences about your experience, pause and ask yourself what the connection is to texts.

4.      Format & Correctness

MLA style is required for formatting this essay. You are required to use MLA heading and citation format. If you are not sure what MLA looks like, look it up! On Blackboard, I provided a navigation link to Purdue Universitys Online Writing Lab (OWL). Use the link for access to OWLs MLA reference guide. There is no excuse for not following MLA.
Proofread, proofread, proofread! Although typos are a part of life, there is a difference between the occasional typo and a pattern of errors. At the very least, essays must be free of capitalization errors, misspelled words, sentence fragments, run on sentences, and punctuation errors. The essay should be written primarily in one verb tense. Careful attention to correctness demonstrates respect for both your ideas and for your reader.
