The journals are designed to be fairly informal and the topics are entirely up to you; however, I have found that journals are much more successful when students focus on one concrete issue or idea rather than ramble from one sparsely developed observation to the next. I recommend focusing your journal using one of the topics listed below if you are struggling to come up with a focus on your own. The goal here is to engage critically with the readings—develop your interpretation, what you think and WHY you think it. In other words, do not plot summarize. Your journal should reveal that you have taken the time to read and to reflect on the material.
Suggested ways to focus your journal:
Character analysis – one character/significance
Significance of Theme
Significance of Setting
Significance of Plot
Role of Irony
Significance Imagery
Significance of social issue addressed
Choose your own topic
Though this is informal writing, it should not be sloppy in either the thinking or presentation.
Requirements:
Use the primary text and your own analysis. You may also use supporting materials from the Lesson if you choose.
Do not repeat your discussion posts.
*NO SOURCES FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COURSE MAY BE USED* If outside sources are used a 0 will be assigned for the journal. If outside sources are used in the form of plagiarism, automatic failure of the course will result.
Quotes from the narrative to illustrate and support your analysis
MLA in-text citations for all quoted and paraphrased material (see Purdue OWL in Course Resources for a refresher)
A Works Cited page is not needed/required
Proofread your work carefully
Late journal submissions are not accepted

*Journals must be submitted as a Word document. Submission in any other file format will not be accepted and no credit will be earned.

Peer Evaluation and Discussion Questions
Please discuss the following either in paragraph or numerical form in a minimum of 250 words (for all questions combined, not 250 words for each answer).
Remember to review 2 presentations. If you are giving a presentation, choose two from those given by the other students.
What does the group’s thesis say they will try to prove about their topic?
In what ways was the group successful in proving their thesis? Discuss at least two examples.
What part(s) of the presentation were weakest and why?
What did you learn about the book that you hadn’t thought about before from the group’s presentation?
Please make any general comments about the group’s presentation.
Then, please choose one of the discussion questions posed by the group in their presentation and give a thoughtful response.

I’m preparing for an English exam in which we have this essay question. Can you help me prepare an intriguing outline so that I can write a good essay? All I need is your time and knowledge to help me get prepared with a strong outline.
Provide a thorough discussion and analysis of the given question. Provide a short and three-word interesting title. Develop a clear, focused thesis statement to define your argument. Develop three paragraphs with each of them having proper topic sentences and supporting examples (add quotes from the novel to support your topic sentences).
Discuss how Ishiguro used Darlington and Faraday to highlight postcolonial theory the question is:
Discuss the contrast between Darlington and Faraday in the Remains of the Day. How do the characters function symbolically? How does Ishiguro use them to advance a theme in the novel?

You are required to investigate the epidemiology of Smoking tobacco and provide implications for policy, practice and future research. Write case report about smoking tobacco among adult in United Kingdom. The report is 1500 words (excluding the reference from the count).
Learning Outcomes to be assessed: – Demonstrate knowledge and skills in the principles, concept and theories of epidemiology
– Demonstrate understanding of key epidemiological methods, measures and indicatorssuch as prevalence, incidence, odds and risk ratios, attributable risks and epidemiologicalresearch method
– Analyse and evaluate epidemiological data and use them to inform public health practice
– Apply quantitative health measures in a selective and considered way
The case report must include the following components: Introduction:
Describe the problem and context of the chosen behaviour to show why it is a problem and
deserves to be studied. At the end of this section state the objective/s of your paper. You may wish to focus on a specific geographical focus (e.g in UK, Ghana, across Africa) or aglobal focus
You may wish to focus on a specific demographic focus (e.g children, older adults, pregnant women, racially minoritised groups)
Prevalence and determinants of the behaviour:
Analyse the scale and burden of the behaviour e.g. by reporting and analysing prevalence and other measures of occurrence in the chosen context. This may include distribution by person place and time if applicable such as prevalence in different age groups, communities, times etc.
Analyse determinants of the behaviour by reporting and analysing odds ratios and/or risk ratios for association between the risk factors and the behaviour.
Effect of the behaviour on health:
Analyse the effect of the behaviour on health e.g. by reporting odds ratios and/or risk ratios for association between the behaviour and the health outcomes (morbidity, mortality).
Show your understanding of epidemiological study designs (case-control studies, cohort studies
systematic reviews and meta-analyses etc.) and their strengths and weaknesses.
Include in-text references to support all of your claims. (intext citation and Harvard reference style)
Control and prevention/promotion:
Discuss some control/prevention interventions/programs that have been tried to address the
behaviour in your chosen context or if not available, in a similar context elsewhere, and how
effective they have been.
Conclusion and recommendations:
What policy, practice or research recommendations could you make to address the issues identified? Justify your recommendations based on your analysis and support with empirical evidence.
Bibliography:
Maximum of 25 references using Harvard referencing
Should mostly contain peer-reviewed journal articles
Case Report Guidance:
Write ONE 1,500 word case report (not to exceede 1500 words, preferply 1300 to 1400)
Assignments to be double spaced, well presented and clearly referenced
Assignment to be accurately referenced using the Harvard reference system, with up to 25
references.

How does Tagore represent the “Crossroads of Empire”?
How does Tagore’s work represent or challenge the idea of empire?
Feel free to diverge from these questions. My goal for this
discussion is that you think about the Enlightenment and how Voltaire
fits into the conversation. You can answer one or more of my questions
or offer your own critical interpretation. Post an initial response of at least 150 words. Your response should show that you’ve read and considered the readings. Adding a direct quote
or paraphrase is a great way to do this. Include quotation marks when you quote directly from the text,
look up crossroads of empire and tagore in the book

Response papers should be 3 pages, double-spaced (about 750 words)
The first paragraph should briefly summarize the plot of the primary text for the week.
In your response you might consider the themes, symbolism, form, imagery and/or tone of the work. You might discuss aspects of the work that surprised or impressed you, or you own affective response to the work.
You should cite the text at least once in each response paper. You should cite the text in support of assertions you make about it. For example, the statement “I found the representation of Grendel in Beowulf interesting” should be supported with a citation of a passage that demonstrates why you find the representation interesting.
The paper does not need to have a thesis statement and an argument. However, the paper is submitted for a grade – it should use correct grammar, punctuation and other aspects of a formal essay.

Overview
Now that you have identified a behavior, population, and setting, you will start to review the literature related to that behavior. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based practice, which means it’s important for practitioners to identify and recommend treatments that are based on evidence from research. This literature review will help you to identify research to support your decisions in later sections when writing your hypothetical behavior analytic study.
Preparation
Use the Capella Library to locate four recent (within the past 5–7 years) behavior analytic, single-subject design articles related to the behavior you selected in the last assignment.
Review the Literature Review Template [DOCX], which you will use to complete your assignment.
If you need help using the Capella library, review the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Research GuideLinks to an external site..
Instructions
Complete a literature review to support your hypothetical behavior analytic study.
Provide the APA citations of the studies you found.
Identify the dependent variable in each study.This should be your selected targeted behavior.
Describe the implementation of the independent variable.This should be the intervention or interventions used.
Identify the single-subject design in each study.
Describe the data collection procedure and interobserver agreement (IOA) method used.
Describe the internal, external, and social validity of each study.
Describe the conclusions to each study, including the effectiveness of the interventions.
These are the elements you will be writing for your hypothetical behavior analytic study, so it is important to pay attention to the details so that you understand how to write and structure your assignments.
Note: Put the information from each article into your own words rather than using direct quotes from the literature.
Additional Requirements
Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Use current APA style and formatting, paying particular attention to citations and references. Refer to Evidence and APALinks to an external site. for citing and referencing tips.
Length: 6–8 pages.
