Essay Title:
At Stanford, we welcome applications from individuals with a broad range of experiences, interests, and backgrounds who would make a unique contribution to the sciences and engineering. Please describe how your interests, lived experiences, perspectives, and/or activities have shaped you as a person and would help you uniquely contribute to the SIMR Program.

With this assignment you will have a choice of controversial topic (below) to write about, but it must be about flowers in some way.
You must gather information, decide on a point of view, and discuss to support your perspective. Some of the earlier modules focused on some of these topic areas. You may have noted that some of the speakers are not presenting an unbiased, fully-balanced argument. Some were promoting something, perhaps it was not clear to you what. This is what will be expected of you out in the real world when you go to work: you will need to convince.
What matters in this assignment is that
it be some significant issue,
that it be controversial in some way and that you understand the controversy,
it must be your own writing
it cannot simply be echoing some party-line, religion or mantra. You must make a coherent, logical case for your position.
it must involve flowers in some way.
And to make it VERY clear: You must take a side! You cannot just write an analysis of both sides of a topic. Indeed you SHOULD present both sides of the topic, but you cannot do just that.
Your first step is to choose one of the topic areas below; if, in the end, your essay fits several topic areas, then you must pick one, so that it will be evaluated with respect to that topic area.
Topic Area: “Flowers as medicine.” Do flowers have the power to heal? You learned about cannabis; you could write about that. But note a lot of misinformation might make this a difficult topic – do not echo nonsense from the past. There are other flowers used medicinally (eg herbalists, traditional Chinese medicine,…). Note that there are other ways that flowers can improve human health; would that be “medicine”?
First Line: Chosen Topic Area: identify the topic area (from above) using the subheadings above. You are not allowed to create a new topic area.
Second Line: Your name
Third Line: Abstract sentence (one sentence which identifies the point of the essay, and the stand you are taking)
After the abstract: the essay itself: You must submit text for one particular topic areas above. If you wish to include an image then this must be embedded in the text. Images should be small (not full page) and do not count as part of the length requirement. You must reference any (every) image in your text, otherwise it will be ignored or deemed disconnected or irrelevant.
Then: References: You should cite references, in any format that you like, to back up your logical thinking. Note that definitive references are ones where a human being is standing as expert. Real supporting references have names in a by-line and those persons are experts. Some students seem to think that Wikipedia can be used as expert; but you have no way to know if it is definitive, accurate, authoritative. Note that anyone could edit whatever you find! So your citations need to be authoritative and attributed to a human being. This, especially, if you take the side opposite the person grading your essay. Writing this essay requires a coherent argument and solid citations and references.
Write coherent English: 1000 to 1500 words. It will be graded for quality in both the content as well as English composition. It must be your own words. Illogical or rambling nonsense will get few, if any, points. Show your sources (if any) by listing references at the end, in any format you like. A well-made argument can gain full points even if the graders disagree with your position. Submitting text which is not on topic will gain 0 points, even if all other formatting is done as required. See Rubrics which will be used in grading.

SCHOLARLY Citation Requiremenbdgt: Minimum of 2 resources

You have been asked by your private employer to create a handout to educate employees on how health insurance impacts preventative care. Be sure to include the following information: Covered preventative measures; Frequency of preventative care allowed; How utilization changes based on health insurance coverage; The impact of preventative care on the individual, organization. and nation; and Figures, examples, and statistics supporting your findings. Your assignment should meet the following structural requirements. Two-page handout, not including the cover sheet and reference page. Include headings titled “Covered Preventative Care” and “Utilization”. Be sure to include an informational paragraph under each heading and a citation to the resource utilized. Formatted according to APA and Saudi Electronic University writing standards. Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of four scholarly articles. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but two must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these references.

Outline for the Paper: Each student will complete a paper on a selected topic related to course content, investigate the topic in depth and provide a formal 4-6 page term paper (excluding the cover page and the reference page/section). The goal of the paper is for you to understand the topic, become familiar with the research and theoretical approaches associated with the topic, and learn about intervention and prevention approaches and social change efforts related to the topic. Evaluation of the paper will be based on instructions followed, scholarly approach, writing proficiency (grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style), and connection to course content and class learning. Topics need to be specific. Select a topic related to Domestic Violence that interests you (i.e. elder abuse, child abuse, stalking, etc.) – and then begin narrowing it down further. You may choose a specific demographic group (age, race/ethnicity, religion, geographical or regional group, etc) or you may choose to examine your topic from a specific perspective (treatment issues, theoretical perspective, professional considerations such as legal or educational factors). Some examples of narrowed topics include: Physical abuse of Hispanic children ages 7- 12; Financial abuse of the elderly – legal considerations; Theoretical Frameworks for working with adult survivors of child sexual abuse…… Students are encouraged to select a topic of their own, but will need the instructor’s approval. Topic for the Term Paper will be the same as the topic used for Assignment I of this course. Refer to the specific Assignment Document located in this course for grading rubric and additional information. The written paper should be organized under the following headings (please use distinct sub-headings whenever required): Introduction In this section, you should discuss how and why you are interested in researching the topic or issue. This section will then include a general introduction on the topic and ultimately narrow down to the specific topic or issue. You may support this section with one or two references (peer reviewed journal articles) to support your statement. History/Background of the topic In this section, you will discuss the importance of the topic i.e. why it is important. Further, you will answer the questions: who, what, where, and when besides the why of the issue. The section will provide relevant information about the history/background information (including statistical data, important definitions, and other interesting facts and highlight as necessary) about the social issue, the specific population that it impacts and how it impacts. You will also describe challenges encountered by that population. Theoretical perspective, context analysis, and limitations In this section the group should include theory(s) or perspective (s) that is especially relevant to explain the topic/issue. This will not only be in support of the problem/issues, but also strengthen their discussion. This section should also concentrate on limitations or significant areas that are important, but will not be explored because of page restrictions. This will allow you to convey to the instructor that you are aware of the importance of the related areas. Conclusion In this section, you will include the overall findings of your paper. You should also discuss what you think will be some of the future recommendations, for example, in terms of practice and research implications related to this issue. References and Appendix Materials – The Reference Page is in addition to the required 4-6 pages. The paper including the reference section will be according to APA guidelines. Appendix materials should be well organized. The bibliography must cite at least three professional sources (peer reviewed journal articles, books, and/or other online sources) used to prepare the paper. A list of names of relevant journals and links to websites has been provided on the current and next page. (NOTE: If you are including any Website as one of your electronic sources/references, in that case, you are only allowed to use a SINGLE website source, NOT multiple websites.) The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) (6th Edition) is the style manual to be followed for all assignments in this class. Proper referencing (authors, year, titles, page numbers, etc.) of assignments is required. This includes giving due credit to others when indirect quotes (paraphrasing) and direct (verbatim) quotes are used. Short direct quotes (less than 40 words) must be placed in quotation marks. Long direct quotes (40 or more words) should be indented. Paraphrasing requires more than changing a word or two in a sentence. NOTE: Plagiarism is a form of scholastic dishonesty and can lead to failing the paper (“0” for the assignment) or failing the course (“F” for the course). Procedures at LU as described in the student conduct code will be followed. If you do not know how to cite appropriately, please learn before you submit any assignments either by following the handout on APA style referencing (will be given in class) or consulting your instructor.
