I’m studying and need help with a English question to help me learn.

This assignment requires two paragraphs. Each paragraph employs a pattern of development that was covered in the reading for this lesson. If you’re not familiar with narration, description, or process analysis, you should review the required reading for Lesson 4. For your first paragraph, use the narrative and description techniques you learned in this lesson to describe daily activities. You’ll write about the activities you dedicate your time to: schoolwork, family responsibilities, and your job. Don’t forget to include other pursuits such as hobbies, sports, and volunteer and social activities. This paragraph should be between 500 and 550 words

In your second paragraph, focus on how you manage your time to accomplish everything you need and want. For this paragraph, use process analysis to explain how you manage your time. Consider the tools you employ, such as a planner or calendar, whether paper or electronic, or even a chart or list. Again, write between 500 and 550 words to clearly illustrate your process for managing your busy schedule. Your prewriting should total between 1,000 and 1,100 words. This is an example of what the description portion might look like: It has been a challenge to balance all the areas of my life since I became an online student. Each day, I struggle to balance my full-time job, my personal life, and my schoolwork. I work as a Physicians’ Aid at Holy Cross Hospital. Monday through Friday, I leave at 6:00am to make the hour and ten minute commute from my home so I can be on time. My job is multifaceted. I help the nurses and doctors by doing intake for their patients, taking patient weight and height measurements, temperature, and blood pressure. I also go over each patient’s medical history to ensure everything is correct. Most of my job, though, is focused on administrative duties. With all these responsibilities, my work day is a blur, and I often don’t have time to take a break before it is 3:30pm and I begin my commute home. Even though my workday responsibilities are done, my weeknight responsibilities often make me feel as though my day has barely started. I have two teenaged daughters, Zella and Jade, so I spend much of my evenings enforcing rules, dispensing advice, helping with homework, and occasionally providing a shoulder to cry on. Our dog, Gizmo, also needs attention. I must have dinner ready for the whole family by 7 PM, when my husband gets home. After dinner, I am responsible for cleaning the house. As if this weren’t enough, I am responsible for looking after my aging mother, since my sister Alyce is only eighteen and can barely look after herself. Two or three evenings a week, I go to my mother’s house, I pay her bills, help with household chores, and provide her some much-needed company. I must also complete my coursework. Though I like my job, I would like to help animals, not people. So, I enrolled in Penn Foster’s Veterinary Technician program. I find it very hard to complete schoolwork amid my other responsibilities. I am currently taking English Composition and Veterinary Office Management. I am really enjoying the Veterinary course. My English Composition course, however, has been a big of a struggle. The readings for this course requires my full attention. I find the writing assignments in the English course interesting and applicable to my future career, but the amount of effort I must put into each paper is exhausting. I need at least a two-hour chunk of time in order to get any meaningful work done, and that is hard to come by during the day with everything else going on in my life. I usually try to study around 11:30pm, once my children and husband have already gone to bed. However, Gizmo is usually still awake, and between him vying for my attention and my sister texting me every three seconds, I am behind on my schoolwork. Each night, as I stumble into bed around 12:30am, I wonder why I am putting myself through all this. Here’s an example of what the process portion might look like: To help find a way to balance all the home, work, and school responsibilities together, I decided to use some time-saving techniques, ask my family for help with responsibilities at home, and set up a distraction-free study space to help me balance my life. First, I started saving time by planning out our weekly meals instead of wasting hours each night trying to think of what we should have for dinner. I also started making a grocery list, based on my weekly meal plan, to save time while grocery shopping. Before I made these changes, I wasted several hours each week deciding what to make for dinner or haphazardly picking out random items when grocery shopping. Now that I have all those extra hours available, I am able to devote about an additional hour each weekday evening to my school work. Second, I decided to call a family meeting to delegate some of the chores and responsibilities at home to my husband and my energy-filled teens. Zella now handles all the laundry during the week for both herself and Jade, Jade cleans the bathrooms every other weekday, and I now handle these chores only Saturdays. My husband also agreed to cook or bring home take-out two weekday nights per week, so that I would only have to cook three weekday evenings. He also agreed to take one of my three weeknight visits to my mother’s so that I could have more quality time with the kids, as well as more extra time for my schoolwork. This is a big relief. With all this extra help, I now had a total of three full hours I could study every weeknight. But I still needed a way to avoid distractions during my designated study time. So, for my third step, I converted our guest bedroom into a dedicated office, since we so rarely get visitors anyway. I sold the guest bed and used the money to buy a sturdy office desk. Then, I got some good lights to help me see my schoolwork and a bookshelf on which I organized all my study guides and work materials. I close the door whenever I am working so Gizmo can no longer devour my schoolwork. I also advised my sister that I will be unavailable each weeknight evening between 9:00pm and 12:00pm, and I shut my phone off and do not log into my email or messenger services on my computer during this time, to avoid temptation. My new office has made is so much easier to get my work done, and I’m now back on track with all my schoolwork. I even have enough time left over to take a full day on the weekends (Sunday) to relax and spend time with family. Honestly, now that I have a plan and everyone has agreed to help out more, I don’t feel so stressed, I remember why becoming a Veterinary Assistant is so important to me, and I know I can do this.

American Literature Research Paper Assignment

Requirements:

-MLA Format with a Works Cited page

-2000 words (the Works Cited Page does NOT count towards the word count)

-Selection of at least 1 author covered in the course with at least 1 of their works covered in the course as a primary source. You may use 2+ authors or 2+ sources, but at least 1 author and 1 source must be from our course.

-2 outside sources minimum (databases, online articles, etc. *Wikipedia does NOT count as a reputable source.*)

You may use outside sources (databases, books, articles, internet); however, if you plagiarize, you will receive a 0 for the paper. Please refer to the OWL Purdue website in the Research Paper Folder and the other resources provided if you have questions about source formatting in your paper. You’re always welcome to ask me as well.

Plagiarism is where you use someone else’s information either word for word (direct quote) or in a paraphrased or summarized format without giving the source credit. So, punctuating and parenthetical citations along with the WCP are VERY important. Plagiarism is a serious concern. You will submit your essay through Turn It In, which checks for the use of outside sources. A first time plagiarism offense will result in a 0 for the assignment; a second-time plagiarism offense will result in an F for the course. So, basically, don’t steal what’s not yours. Just simply give credit where credit is due.

You should pick a piece of literature that we’ve studied in this class this semester (for example: a selection of Dickinson’s poetry, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Stowe, etc.).You will want to select a fairly important piece.The purpose of this paper is to discuss each of the goals/objectives for the course in one paragraph each, using the piece you have selected to discuss. Below are the 5 Goals for the course. In your paper, you need a paragraph addressing each of these 5 goals below. You are not limited to only 5 body paragraphs in your paper, but you are required to have at least 5.

I’m studying for my Writing class and need an explanation.

Scholarly Writing for Healthcare Professionals – Week 2 Assignment 1

Developing the Parts of a Formal Paper: Headings

This week we continue to develop a proper formal paper format. Review Week 1 where you learned how to use the computer to create headers, title page, reference page, and other APA needs. With this assignment, you will learn to create a standard outline for a typical formal paper.

The majority of formal papers in undergraduate work use primarily Levels 1-3 headings to explain the major thoughts of the essay. The longer the paper, the more levels might be required. Each heading level is formatted differently and serves to aid organization of the paper for increased readability. But they also aid on a practical level by ensuring that each required aspect of the assignment is covered. Students have a tendency to cover the first one or two parts of an assignment, forgetting the rest. [Review the assigned videos if any of the information is unclear.]

For our purposes of initially creating short academic papers, the title becomes the first and only Level 1 heading. Therefore, it will be entered on the first line of page 2, centered and bolded. Later, we will see how the style can be modified with more complexity.

One way to know how to plan your paper and your heading outlines is to thoroughly read and understand the assignment. Look at the information required. How is each part of the required information related to the other parts? Remember that each heading level may or may not need to be broken down into smaller parts. Is each required element a major idea or can some of the elements be placed underneath a higher level idea?

Below is an actual assignment from a nursing course:

Case Study

As a newly hired Nurse Manager for a small 25-bed rehab center, you have been warned that the facility is on the brink of bankruptcy. You know you must conduct a thorough analysis to begin to understand the situation.

Assess the financial situation of the facility.

Include the following aspects in the assignment: (the actual numbers do not matter)

ØEstimate macro-level and micro-level influences

ØEvaluate reimbursement sources

ØConsider service strategies to control cost

ØPlan efficiencies to decrease spending and areas to increase reimbursement

Review the above assignment and decide how it would be best to outline the paper with headings.

Using the sample assignment above, produce an outline to guide your writing. No written paragraphs are needed…just an outline with appropriate topic headings.

Include the following aspects in the assignment following APA rules:

A title page

oCreate a title for this outline and ensure that the title page conforms to the correct format

oPlace page numbers in the top right hand corner of all pages

Page two

oPlace the title as the first line [Level 1], centered and bolded.

oContinuing on page 2, find the appropriate Level 2 and Level 3 headings from the assignment directions above, choosing titles for these levels that would be reasonable for the scenario. Be certain to mirror the heading table guide above for Levels 1 – 3.

oNote: Headings are very brief, so you will choose a brief heading to capture the main point of the content that you are addressing. You will need to create the Level 2 headings [hint: look within the directions for ideas and create relatively logical headings for the rest.] The purpose of this exercise is to create an outline using the information that you have received so far, not study the topics presented nor write body paragraphs.

A reference page – Insert one entry: the correct APA entry for your book, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

I’m studying and need help with a Nursing question to help me learn.

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

I need support with this Law question so I can learn better.
