Title: Annotated Bibliography on Nutrition and Endurance Sports: A Review of Recent Research
This assignment is to help graduate students examine effective, evidence-based approaches to nutrition for specific sports or exercise based on peer-reviewed, original research. You will need to prepare an annotated bibliography with 4 journal articles published within the last 10 years (in the US) about nutrition and sports). Three of these articles must be peer-reviewed. Citations should be in APA 7 format. For APA citations, look on the internet for information. Here is a link. Each student must select a unique topic. You might focus on nutrition and endurance sports or exercise, such as tri-athletes or marathon running. You could focus on current topics related to carbohydrate intake for athletes or protein intake for athletes. If you do not choose one of the topics above, please get your topic approved before beginning your research.
Information on Annotated Bibliographies:
Use information on the internet to research what an annotated bibliography is and how to write it. Here is a link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.to one source. Here a second source (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
Write the citation and annotation
Give the complete citation first and then write the annotation. Each annotation should be about 3/4 page typed, single-spaced. You should consider including:
The stated purpose of the research (especially the main research question)
A summary that includes more than you can get from simply reading the abstract. The summary should include brief information about the methods (including # of participants), if the research was quantitative or qualitative, the results of the study, and the conclusion (that MUST answer the research question).
How important is this research on the topic you have chosen? Why is it important?
Note any special or unique features about the research.
What are strengths, weaknesses or biases in the study design? -
“Exploring Narrative Elements: A Comparative Analysis of Two Short Stories” “Crafting a Polished Essay: The Importance of Time and Effort”
We have read a number of short stories so far—and will read two more before Monday. Choose
exactly two of them (no more, no less), then compare and contrast them in terms of one (just
one!) narrative element we’ve addressed so far (or will address soon): plot, perspective, closure,
etc.
– Your comparing and contrasting should rely extensively on the analysis of evidence. In other
words, if you have a paragraph discussing closure in “Standard Loneliness Package,” much of
that paragraph will be made up of your interpretation of relevant citations from the text.
– Much of your essay will be taken up with this comparing and contrasting. But the entire essay
should be framed by a larger claim (aka—a thesis). This central claim should, more or less, take
the form of your answer to this question: What is the significance of the different ways these two
narratives approach the element you selected? As such, your comparing and contrasting should
ultimately be in service of proving this claim.
– Your claim will likely force you to discuss not just the “how” of each short story (closure,
perspective, etc.), but the “what” of each one as well (love, parenting, loss, etc.). For instance if
you argue that one short story provides closure, but the other does not, well, that’s a “how”
claim. In order to make a case for the significance of this, you’ll probably have to talk about
“what” the narratives are about as well (themes, issues, etc.).
– Don’t start by trying to formulate the final version of your main claim, though a rougher form
of it may be possible early on. What will likely be more productive is something like this: 1)
Write up some general ideas or hunches you have, based on your initial response to the stories,
our discussion about them, etc.; 2) Analyze the evidence you suspect you’ll use in the essay; 3)
Look over your analysis and see what big claim you can make about it. Some back and forth
between your general claim and close analysis will likely be necessary. This back and forth is a
central feature of (and reason for) The Process™, which is just about inescapable in a paper like
this.
I strongly recommend you going through The Process™ for writing this paper. Though
everyone’s process is different, yours might look something like: 1) Choose the stories you
want to spend more time with; 2) Reread them (or at least parts of them), mark them up, and
take notes; 3) Select the narrative element you want to focus on; 4) Make a list of all relevant
evidence; 5) Free write or brainstorm; 6) Start writing up some close readings (i.e. extended
analysis of evidence); 7) Formulate a tentative central claim; 8) Think about the structure of
your paper (and perhaps make an outline); 9) Write a first draft; 10) Give yourself a treat; 11)
Print out the first draft and read it as if you’ve never seen it before; 12) Come up with a plan
for making draft #2 better than draft #1; 13) Revise; 14) Line edit; 15) Repeat step #10.
In order to go through The Process™ effectively, you’ll want to spread out your work on this
essay into a few sessions over the course of a couple of days.
You don’t need to be an expert on the narrative element you’re writing about, but you should
feel pretty comfortable with it. If you need help clarifying the concept you’ve chosen, feel
free to email me. But you must do so by Friday at 6PM.
Once you’ve chosen your short stories and your narrative element, don’t second guess
yourself! You may get stuck, that’s normal. It doesn’t mean that if you chose different
stories or a different element that the whole essay would be a breeze.
900 words is not much. Keep your introduction very brief. Get into the details of your short
stories quickly and stay close to the texts throughout. Your conclusion can be longer, but
only if it is used to develop your main claim.
I am fully aware that this class only started four days ago, and that this paper is due in just
another four days. I am not expecting masterpieces. But I do expect you to put in some time
and effort here. I also expect you to produce an essay that is somewhat polished. -

“Adapting to Change: A Journey of Growth and Resilience”
Prompt: Share an essay on any topic of your choice. Tell us your story and show us who you are.
Use these prompT/ideas provided to write a college application essay, that illustrated growth around the theme that I am adaptable. Be specific in personal examples, narratives, and use imagery and rhetorical devices to make an impact on the reader. I have the main points, just need someone to bring it all together, write it well, and make it flow. It should be near 600 words.
Below is just a general guide. I have attached the guide specifc to me as a PDF.
Deciding on Your Essay Type:
Key Event: This essay picks an important life event that occurred in the student’s life and gives insight to why the event was so transformative.
Metaphorical: This essay picks an important object in the student’s life and relates his/her experiences and transformation of maturity to the object.
Timeline: This essay picks out multiple key events in the student’s life that connect to one overall theme/event.
Picking a Value to Highlight:
To make your essay focused, you need to choose one value you want to highlight about yourself throughout the essay. Is it your value of community? Family? Autonomy? Compassion? Teamwork? Equality? There are a lot of values to choose from, and extensive lists can be found with a simple online search.
Creating an Outline:
Your personal statement should include:
A depiction of your character before a pivotal event.
The event itself and its immediate consequences.
How the event transformed you.
Your future direction, informed by this transformation.
Structure your essay with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, ensuring each section supports the overarching theme and value you’ve chosen to highlight.
Crafting an Intriguing Introduction:
You need an interesting hook. This, however, is more simple than it seems. When you brainstorm your hook, ask yourself, “If someone read just my hook, would they be curious to read more?”. A hook may just be a simple statement, a quotation, a vivid description of the scenery, etc. (pro tip: AVOID USING A POPULAR QUOTE OR TRUTH AS YOUR HOOK)
Describing the Main Event:
As you begin your body paragraphs, you want to descriptively lay out the main event that resulted in your character transformation. This is where you want to use extremely vivid sentences. In describing the main event, it is good to include the immediate effects of the consequence. Not all consequences have to be negative. (pro tip: AVOID SIMPLY STATING WHAT HAPPENED).
Illustrating Growth and Future Aspirations:
This is the absolute most important part of your personal statement. You want to describe how you changed as a person as a result of the main event. Do not just say, “I became more passionate about service”, but show that you became more passionate about service by describing the homeless shelters you volunteered for or the elderly couple you helped get groceries for every weekend. Remember that you need to focus this part on only YOU!
Conclusion:
Reiterate how the event has shaped you today and how you’ll leverage the lessons learned as you move forward. This is a MUST. It’s your chance to leave a lasting impression on the admissions committee, highlighting your resilience, growth, and potential for future success.

“Conflict Management and Cultural Dynamics: An Analysis of Interpersonal Conflict in Film/TV” Reality Television and the Dynamics of Interpersonal Relationships: An Analysis of Communication Behaviors
This assignment is intended
to assess the ability of students to do the followin
g:
1. identify and describe types of interpersonal conflict.
2. compare and contrast various methods for managing conflict.
3. identify and describe destructive and productive
behaviors people exhibit when in conflict; and apply appropriate concepts towards
the goal of making recommendations for approaching conflict more effectively.
Using the material from the
textbook, you must write a 5 – 7-page essay (approximately) in which you
provide an analysis on a specific scene or moment of conflict, 2 – 5 minutes or
so of verbal conflict (approximately), not the entire show or movie. You may refer to any idea from the text, use Chapters 6, 2, and 8 in your textbook
as the primary text-based resources for responding to this assignment, and as a
guide for how to apply the concepts identified in the sections below to a film
or television show of your own choosing.
You must consider what film
or TV show might function well as a way to perform a case study of
interpersonal conflict between two characters in the film using conceptual
material in the textbook as the basis for your analysis. Analyze the communicative behavior of the
people in a conflict episode based upon the following topics and conceptual
areas, and write your paper accordingly:
1. If conflict occurs
between people during interaction, where there are real or perceived incompatible goals, scarce resources, or opposing
views. Identify and describe
which of these factors (and there could be more than one) the conflict appears
to be about. Define what conflict is through your example, and describe what
each person is doing and saying to make the conflict as being situated in incompatible
goals, scarce resources, or opposing views?
2. Identify, define, and describe which conflict
style or styles each participant seems to engage in most consistently
(describe what each person is doing and saying that marks his or her behavior
as the style defined in the textbook).
a. Competing?
b. Avoiding?
c. Accommodating?
d. Collaborating?
e. Compromising?
3.
Using the
material in Chapter 6 and/or Chapter 8 regarding culture and conflict, identify
and describe any possible sources of conflict or aspects of culture that might
be creating challenges to resolving conflict between the participants. In what ways do the participants’ methods for
doing facework during conflict
create problems with conflict resolution?
Do the participants display different cultural tendencies along the
dimensions of individualism or collectivism, and is this influencing
conflict dynamics? Other cultural
issues?
4. Explain what specific strategies for handling conflict better you would
recommend each person adopt to manage more effectively this conflict or future
conflict?
a. Can you identify and possible conflict patterns in the episode you observed? Are there any perception issues (see Chapter 2), serial arguing, mindreading, etc..)? Suggest how to overcome them.
b. Offer some specific negotiation steps and skills the participants might use to handle
their conflict more effectively in the future.
c. How should each participant be supportive of each
other?
d. How should each participant strive to “save face” for
the other?
***Not all the above
categories may be relevant depending on the conflict you observe. What specific recommendations from the
textbook would offer the people in this conflict so they might have handled it
more effectively?
Your
paper should not only address each of the content areas identified above, you must also construct the paper such that
it is structured to include an introduction, body and conclusion, and in
which you include any visual data such as film segments or examples that would
help support your conclusions or convey your ideas. Obviously, the body of your paper should be
devoted to addressing items 1-4 above.
You should also construct your paper keeping in mind the general
guidelines for papers outlined in the syllabus.
*****HINT:
Think about the potentially rich source of data you might find on almost any
given episode of almost any Reality
Television show in which the relationships between the people on the show
are the main or secondary focus of the show.
Seriously folks, there is more than an abundance of recorded conflict
interaction out there from which to choose.

“Optimizing Treatment for Peptic Ulcer Disease: Evaluating and Monitoring Patients for Appropriate Management”
Select one of the following discussion prompts to address:
Select a sexually transmitted disease and discuss the importance of appropriate dosing, administering, and monitoring drug therapy. How do pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles guide the selection of the optimal dosing regimen, and what factors must be considered when tailoring treatment plans for individual patients, such as renal and hepatic function, patient adherence, and potential drug interactions?
The treatment of hepatitis, a viral infection affecting the liver, has evolved significantly over the past few decades with the introduction of new antiviral agents. Select and discuss one of the different classes of drugs used to treat various types of hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B and C), their mechanisms of action, and the factors healthcare professionals must consider when selecting the most appropriate treatment regimen for a specific patient, such as the viral genotype, disease stage, and potential drug interactions.
Penicillin allergy is a common concern among patients and healthcare professionals. Reflect on your experience as a healthcare professional or through a case example, and discuss the challenges of managing patients with suspected or confirmed penicillin allergies. How do you ensure the appropriate use of alternative antibiotics in these patients while minimizing the potential for further resistance development or adverse reactions?
Managing peptic ulcer disease may require adjustments to patients’ treatment plans over time due to changes in their symptom severity, underlying health conditions, or comorbidities. Discuss the process of evaluating and monitoring patients with peptic ulcer disease to determine the most appropriate treatment plan and when modifications may be necessary.
