My Reading Journal Assignment

 

Preparation If I pinched you, you would feel pain. The cause and effect relationship would be clear: I pinched you, and you felt pain. What is not always as clear is the cause and effect relationship between ourselves as readers and the written word—in our case short stories. What exactly do we feel when we read this/that short story, and why exactly did we feel this way? How specifically did the story prompt or provoke us to feel? These questions will guide us as we produce our reading journal entries. In other words, what pinches you from the stories and what was the experience of this pinch like? I would like us to extend this guiding idea to both our non-fiction and fiction readings.

For example, you will want to actually quote the readings and consistently speak to how the story specifically prompted you to think or feel this or that. Be careful not to be vague, rambling, or off-topic. Think about how we have discussed the readings in class. We always return to the reading to express how it specifically promots meaning, thought, or feeling within us.

    • Was the resource easy to find?
    • Do you believe the resource contains accurate information?
    • How do you see this resource useful to a health professional?

Feel free to refer to websites in previous units to help you in your search for useful resources.

Webquest

WebQuest

Unit outcomes addressed in this Assignment:

  • Identify several relevant health science issues.
  • Instructions As a health science student, it is important to be aware of important issues in your field of interest. This unit’s Assignment will help make you more aware of the U.S. health care system. You will do a lot of research and then create a short PowerPoint presentation designed to show which part of the healthcare system should receive more funding.

Select one “Focus Area” that you are interested in from the six choices listed along the right side of the page. The six choices are:

  • Veteran’s Administration
  • Mental Health/Substance Abuse Treatment & Prevention
  • Women’s Health/Family Planning
  • Health Promotion/Disease Prevention
  • Long-term Care
  • Public Health

Using the Web links provided on the page, begin your research. If you find you need further information, you are encouraged to continue your investigation using the KU Library, online sources, or textbooks and periodicals at your disposal.

For the “Focus Area” you have chosen, please consider the following questions as you are doing your research:

  1. Why is this focus area important to our overall healthcare system?
  2. What population is directly served and how do they benefit from services and programs in this area?
  3. What are some of the most notable programs available to patients or clients in your area of focus?
  4. What areas could use improvement?
  5. How would significant funding improve the care being provided?

When you have finished your research from the questions in your Focus Area, prepare a short PowerPoint presentation (minimum 10 slides not including cover slide and reference slide) that is designed to show why your selected “Focus Area” of the healthcare system should receive funding. Imagine a realistic scenario that there are limited monies available, and sell why your Focus Area should receive it, based upon the several questions you answered about it.

You are welcome to use the following template to help you complete this Assignment.

    1. Part 1: Database Design 

      Instructions:
      This week, you will begin by defining the entities, attributes and keys required for your database. After you have defined them, you will create the appropriate entities in MS Access and create forms in Access so that the database can be populated with information.
      Using the free program Dia, (you may use another program to create your ERDs if you like, as long as they conform to the Crow’s foot model), create Entity-Relationship Diagrams that represent the underlying structure of the database. After you have created the ERDs, you will use MS Access to accomplish the following tasks.

• Create an ER diagram for the entities and relationships listed below, including all keys.

Using parent email addresses as the primary key, create entities and relationships that contain relevant student information and information about status with regard to each of the following areas:

 

 

Parent
Student Instructor
Class Information

Name

Age group

Class type (Science, Art, Music, Language, etc)

Class activities Alumni

 

 

Part 2: Database & form creation 

  • In Access, use the ERD and relationships from Part 1 to create and populate a database with entities and attributes for all relevant entities database components

  • In Access, create forms so that users can add entries to the participant, instructor and class groups.

    Criteria: If you complete all parts of the assignment, document them properly and upload documentation to the assignments section of Blackboard, you will receive full credit.
