The purpose of this assignment is to bring together the skills learned in Modules 1-5 for critically communicating and writing at a college level. The assignment will allow for the application of research and writing about that research while avoiding plagiarism. Finally, the purpose of this project is for participants to complete a polished writing product using the writing process using academic arguments supported by the research. The topic is very broad, so as you research, you will need to narrow the topic down a little. This will not be easy, but you can do it.To complete this assignment, please follow the steps below:
Participants will research the topic of “Student Success in College” Participants will need to locate 2 to 3 articles to support their essay (also called a thesis or academic argument)
The articles must be peer-reviewed Students will compose a 3-to-5-page essay, or 1800 to 3000 words using the findings of their research
The essay must be in APA format The essay must follow the rules of grammar The essay must be original work The essay must demonstrate a clear introduction, a review of the researched literature, and a conclusion

in 250 words.
Identify which article you selected, including an in-text citation, and the full reference correctly at the end of your post.
Explain what you would change, add, or remove, and why.
Does the claim need a qualifier? Is more evidence needed to support the argument? Does it address opposing views fairly, or at all?
How will you utilize these revision skills in your future career as a nurse?

After studying program management for the past 7 weeks, you feel confident that program management should be a concept your organization should consider. Leadership in your organization is receptive to your thinking and wants to hear more about program management and asks you to create a presentation to distribute to senior leadership.
Presentation needs to be at least 10 slides (but not more than 15 slides, and this does not include the title slide and reference slide(s)) and incorporate the different concepts we have been studying to help make your case.
At the very least, you need to:
explain your organization
discuss the culture of the organization
explain where program management would be beneficial
What concepts and ideas would be best suited for your organization
What types of artifacts or communications are needed
What is needed from leadership to ensure the implementation of program management is efficient and sustained. You can add other concepts, too, especially if there is something specific to your organization that needs to be considered.
Remember, program management is not industry or organization specific. Therefore, you can relate it to any organization. You have flexibility

OBJECTIVE: Human Planet is an amazing series that shows how humans survive and thrive in the most challenging of environmental circumstances. IF YOU ARE NOT IN CLASS ON THIS DAY TO WATCH THE VIDEO, or IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING ALTERNATE ASSIGNMENT:
List three cultures who live in ARCTIC TUNDRA BIOME. Write one paragraph about each culture: who are they, where the live, how they survive in such extreme conditions. INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU ARE IN CLASS ON THIS DAY: Watch the video: Human Planet: The Arctic: Life in the Deep Freeze. Fill out the attached worksheet. Here is the worksheet: Global Human Planet ARCTIC (1)-1.docx

Prompt: 
Defining history of singular cause or singular effect
The primary goal of Essay 1 is to establish a comprehensive understanding of your chosen subject. This involves defining the central topic, delving into the underlying issue, providing historical context, and conducting a thorough analysis of either a single cause with multiple effects, or a single effect with multiple causes. Do not pick both.
A cause is something that produces an issue (creates problem; antecedent). 
An effect is what results from an issue (consequences; aftermath).
Select an individual research topic that addresses the concept of cultural stagnation (CS). Cultural stagnation encompasses instances of social injustice, including civil unrest, marginalization, and inequality within specific communities, leading to a cultural standstill (metaphorical quicksand). This issue often goes unnoticed by the media, which might not fully cover or even address the problem. Consider cultures or communities that are suffering due to the absence of equal rights and access to goods and services.
Your chosen topic must provide the scope to discuss cultural progression (CP) in Essay 5, separate from Essays 1, 2, 3 and 4. Cultural progression should encompass both practical and idealistic solutions, as well as logically sound compromises.
Essay 1 should not discuss counterarguments and oppositions nor solutions (which you will cover in later essays).
Keep in mind that you will be composing four mini essays centered around a single individual research topic, which can ultimately be arranged into a final research paper ranging from 15 to 20 pages (equivalent to 4,500 to 6,000 words) by the end of the semester. 
When selecting a topic, conduct preliminary research to assess the availability of relevant information to support your research essay. Additionally, explore the diverse positions that past writers have taken on similar topics. Understanding the spectrum of possible responses is beneficial before formulating your own stance.
Your topic is debatable, encompassing a minimum of four viewpoints (perspective and angles surrounding topic). It should also possess complexity and the potential to yield credible research. If you find that conducting credible research, involving data from varied sources, is unattainable, you will need to choose an alternative topic. Research is not linear; it is a process of trail and error.
Choose a topic that empowers you as a student, writer, researcher, and critical thinker. Think strategically about the knowledge and growth you will gain during the research process.
How will your work empower not only your readers and audience but also those who may not be directly impacted by the issue you’ve chosen?
What unique insights can you provide that readers cannot simply Google and comprehend within a minute?
You are encouraged to draw from the topic you submitted for approval during your Pre-Outline assignment in Week 1, but you’re not limited to this choice.”

Consider the following questions and reflect on your thoughts and experiences:
What ethical concerns and implications arise when mistakes are made due to the integration of CNAs and LPNs into patient care, and how do these relate to patient safety and the quality of care provided?
In the scenario presented, what ethical principles or values are at stake for hospital leadership, the healthcare team, the patients, and the CNAs and LPNs?
If you were a part of the hospital leadership team in this situation, how would you address the mistakes and improve the quality of care while continuing to utilize CNAs and LPNs? What ethical principles would guide your decision-making process?
Reflect on any personal experiences or stories related to similar incidents or the integration of CNAs and LPNs into patient care. How did these experiences influence your perspective on the ethical challenges involved?

Write your own “wall story” inspired by these wall stories. Write a rationale for your two-page story.
