The Comprehensive Final Project (Assignment #4) has been designed for the student to identify federal and state policy roots in a specific health services organization.  Each student will select a specific management area for a specific organization.  The student will identify a health services setting where they have access to the policy manual (or a sample policy manual).  The setting may include a single location or an organization with many types of services and many service delivery settings. Select one of the following spheres where you will map out and describe a minimum of five (5) organizational policies linked to federal or state legislative mandates. Note some policies may be required for accreditation and also related to public policy.  This is the case with many NCQA standards.. A cover and reference slide must be provided.  Draw on what you have learned throughout the class including: a summary of each organizational policy and the federal/state legislative roots for each policy (by name and statute), any pending changes to the legislation, and your metrics for the organization in terms of performance.

For the unit on the novella you read Franz Kafkas The Metamorphosis and wrote response journal entries for each chapter. Formal writing assignment 2 is a critical thinking and information literacy project that will now require you to locate literary criticism for the tale, analyze it and reflect upon how the criticism has informed your understanding of Kafkas story.

Requirements

Access Online Sources:

To begin, locate two (2) literary criticism essays from Gales Literature Resource Center Database. The two pieces you pick must represent a different approach to literary criticism.
Print the first page of each critical analysis. (These will later be attached to your final paper.)
Construct a Works Cited that identifies these sources.

Summarize, Analyze and Evaluate (at least 2 pages):

Briefly summarize each of the critical essays you have chosen. Be sure to discuss the main point(s) of each essay.
Make an argument that identifies which critical approach the essays author uses. (I am less concerned with whether or not you correctly assess the approach, and more concerned with how you prove your point.)
Answer the following question: Did the analyses of the two pieces overlap at all? If so, how? Cite the sources and provide specific examples.
Which critical approach did you find more interesting or meaningful? Why?

For your third major assignment you will write a literature review on a specific theory of your choice. ( I have chosen Expectancy Violations Theory) You must present a comprehensive discussion of the current body of research on this theory. For instance, if I see your last source is from 1998, I am going to know you are not up to date on the current research. Much like a book report describes a book or a biography describes a person\’s life, this paper should, above all, describe a theory. Once you\’ve described the theory, you\’ll then need to elaborate on how the theory works, how it has been tested, how it has been applied, what shortcomings have been identified, etc. This will require that you research several sources, which may include books, book chapters and scholarly journal articles. Finding primary research – reported results of original studies – is really important so that you can see how researchers have developed and tested the theory first-hand.Finding the literature (and limiting your search, if necessary)

Outline of the paper:
1.)Introduction/overview of the theory

2. Definitions of concepts — What are the main concepts and how have they been defined? This should include nominal definitions (working definitions used in research to date) and examples of operational definitions if possible (how the concepts actually have been measured). Again, cite primary research.
3. Relationships among concepts — How do the concepts defined above affect, mediate, or interact with one another? What other factors have come into play in the literature you have reviewed?
4. Critique — What are the limitations of the theory? What are proponents and critics concerned about? This likely will include issues of conceptualization, measurement, and general usefulness of the theory.

Write 5 pages essay about \”the government shouldn\’t support homeless people free shelters, use money to other system such as education or something else\”. Use 5 sources(2 sources from 2 different articles that I will give to you, 3 from online or anywhere) and 1 graph(about the topic, any kind of graph) to support statement.

The key to this assignment is examination of the topic from different perspectives, actively seeking opposing or alternate points of view to analyze, compare, contrast, synthesize and evaluate. This is the dialectic process. Remember, you do not need to come to a conclusion or take a stand; in fact, you must avoid taking a firm position. You can and should say if you find one position more logical, easier to believe, or in some way more desirable than another, just don\’t declare that position to be the right or best one. Instead, keep your mind open to additional questions, contradictions and complexities that may arise in the course of your research.Your research log should includes dates and all the necessary reference information for each source, an annotation of the information you found in that source, and your thoughts and reflections, showing how your thinking was influenced by what you learned and what you did next.These are the requirements:You will not be able to revise this assignment.
