Topic: conduct a literature review on Piketty's book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Paper details: DET Coursework guidance 2015 This brief document is designed to help you with your literature review coursework. To remind you, the coursework is this: The literature review will incorporate the following: a critical evaluation of up to ten items from economics literature and up to ten items of other literature (strict maximum of 2000 words) (80% of mark) ‘Economics literature’ means peer-reviewed academic journals in economics. Anything which is not that counts as ‘other literature’. That therefore includes: Articles written for a specialist economics audience eg. in The Economist or The Financial Times, or blogs by economists Academic articles from other disciplines, eg. psychology, politics, sociology or environmental management, Opinion pieces in a newspaper Books Be judicious in your choices. The point of the exercise is to see how you can identify and assess arguments from a range of sources; ten articles from The Economic Journal pitted against ten leaders in The Daily Mail isn't likely to give you much opportunity to demonstrate your ability to evaluate and synthesise across disciplines. Assessment will be submitted via Blackboard. The hand-in date is: Wednesday 1st April, 2pm. In line with Faculty policy on word limits, please note that we reserve the right not to read work which goes beyond the word limit. Also, note that endnotes/footnotes, tables and text are included in the word count; appendices and references are not included. However, appendices may not be awarded credit. Grading Criteria: The lecture summary will be graded on accuracy and effectiveness, including proper paraphrasing. In particular you should aim not to simply present a list of things said by the speaker, but to identify and highlight the key themes, arguments and conclusions of the lecture. The literature review will be graded on your ability to critically evaluate a body of literature and your ability to assess the research. Volume of reading is less important than your ability to analyse arguments, consider alternative perspectives, and synthesise a conclusion; hence the limit on the number of references you use. You should choose a sufficient number of references to allow different opinions to be presented, and should also apply the economist’s perspective to relevant other sources. The notes will be graded acceptable/not acceptable only. They will be used to provide a formative assessment (i.e. for the student’s own development). For the literature review, let’s explore a bit more what we need from you. What is a literature review? Refer back to Lecture 4. A literature review is a critical review of others’ work, not merely a summary of what is there. It is necessarily selective and will focus on what you have judged to be the key issues present in the existing literature. A literature review asks 3 main questions: What do we know; and what do we not know? This could include, for example a summary of empirical research and data analysis, highlighting differences in findings (particularly ones that are hard to explain), gaps in the research, and problems with data sources and availability. What are areas of controversy? This could include, for example highlighting differences of opinions over theoretical concepts, methodological procedures, data analysis techniques and so on. What do we need to know? For example – what is missing from the literature? Why? What are the implications for our conclusions about the question we are interested in? What should future research focus on? At the end of your literature review you should be able to offer answers to these questions. Some FAQs How many citations should I include? We have specified a maximum of between 10-20: ten from economics; ten from elsewhere. You should choose a sufficient number of references to allow different opinions to be presented. Should my references only be from economics? No: all of the topics of the guest lectures have been deliberately chosen because they are the type of interdisciplinary challenge faced by practising economists. However, you should try to examine all the literature from an economist’s perspective. Should I try to survey a whole area, or can I focus more? Some of the guest lectures may be on very broad topics. Clearly you cannot do a deep analysis of all the literature on some topics. However you might be able to find a survey article on the topic, which identifies for you the key areas of controversy. You could then choose one of these and do the remainder of your review on that one area. The key is that your choice is based in the literature. I am struggling to fill 2000 words, what should I do? First, remember that you do not have to fill 2000 words: it is a strict limit. However, your problem ought to be that 2000 words are not enough. Remember in the literature review we want you to discuss the literature, and critically evaluate it, as far as you can. Thus you ought to be writing. Remember though to write as efficiently as I can. Is writing style important? As you know, one of the skills employers want in economists is better communication. Good writing is an example. Good writing means that your meaning is clear, logical, grammatically correct and persuasive. Indeed, material which is written well is more persuasive. If you want help with writing style, consult the Academic Support Centre. http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/bl/bbs/aboutus/studentexperience/academicsupportcentre.aspx I have only just started university: how can I be expected to critically evaluate literature? Well, remember you already do it. The key thing is to get others to do the work for you. When you find an article, who else has read it? How have they criticised it? Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. I haven’t chosen my topic yet: is it OK if I leave it for a while? It’s best not to do that. If you haven’t already done so, you should choose your topic now. Start your initial searches now. Identify some themes in the literature. I am planning to start work on this the weekend before: will that be OK? You can guess the answer to that question. You should never hand in your first draft: you can always improve on it. Write a draft, leave it for a bit; then go back to it. You will always find things you can express better, using fewer words, clarify understanding, etc. Also, a danger of leaving it late is that you end up plagiarising – either by accident (you forgot to paraphrase something), or by panicking and resorting to desperate measures. Don’t do it: it is bad academic practice and easy to spot. Before you hand in your literature review make sure you proof read it carefully, looking for typos, spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. You should do this once you are happy that the content is OK. It is very hard to scan for both content and presentation simultaneously. Use a spell-checker! How do I start? Try to find a survey article to help you identify a key area. Use this to identify key literature. Use search tools (e.g. Google Scholar) to identify who has cited the literature you discuss, and who they have cited. You are following a trail. What if I am stuck? Have a look at the slides under Assessment in Blackboard for more information about how to do a literature review. The Academic Support Centre also helps on doing literature reviews. Finally, look at this Library webpage http://iskillzone.uwe.ac.uk/RenderPages/RenderRoom.aspx?Context=10&Area=8&Room=47 This is not an exhaustive list of questions: if you have others, please do ask

Topic: Spiritual needs assessment Order Description Details: This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience. Part I: Interview Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure to focus on the interviewee's experience as a patient, regardless of whom you choose to interview. Review The Joint Commission resource which provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients. Create a survey to assess the subject's spiritual need during the interview. The spiritual needs assessment survey needs a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee's responses. Submit the transcript of the interview. The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers provided. Be sure record the responses during the interview by taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information from the interview. Part II: Analysis Write a 250-500 word analysis of your interview experience. Be sure to exclude specific names and other personal information from the interview. Instead provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity, and religion. Include the following in your response: What went well? What would you do differently in the future? Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges? Describe the spiritual experience you had with your patient, family member, or friend using this tool. How does this tool allow you to better meet the needs of your patient? Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with examples. Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your results. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

The Struggles of a Homosexual Lifestyle Write an annotated bibliography containing brief evaluations of resources on your approved research topic. Your annotated bibliography must contain no fewer than ten resources, including at least one of each of the following: An article from a scholarly (peer-reviewed) journal found in the Collin College Library databases An online resource (NOT Wikipedia) An article from Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments (see below for sample citation) A book or a chapter from a book An article from a newspaper or popular magazine Do your best to make sure that the sources you use are as credible as possible. If you are unsure whether a source is credible, refer to the guidelines given in Chapter 18 of Good Reasons with Contemporary Arguments. As per the department requirements for English 1302, your annotated bibliography must be at least five pages long. Each annotation should be written in present tense ("is" instead of "was") and needs to be at least six sentences long, including 3-5 sentences summarizing the main idea(s) of the source, 1-2 sentences evaluating the source’s strengths and weaknesses, and an addition 1-2 sentences relating the source to other research and/or giving your personal opinion about the source’s value or credibility. No separate works cited page is needed. Keep direct quotations to a minimum -- aim for seven words or less per quotation. The idea here is for you to interpret the authors' ideas and put them in your own words as much as possible. Annotations should focus on what the sources say, not what they talk about. For example, instead of writing that an article "talks about" the negative effects of decriminalizing drugs, write what the article actually says about those negative effects; give examples and sum up main points. If you do this, your readers will have a better understanding of why the source is valuable, and your annotated bibliography will be a much better tool for you as you write your researched argument essay. Keep in mind that the goal here is to gather a good variety of sources related to your research topic. Avoid using several articles from one book or book series, online database, website, or other publication. The more varied your sources, the more broad your understanding of your topic is likely to become.

Theoretical Approaches to Social Psychology A theory is a tool used to help explain an event or a concept. Researchers, such as social psychologists, propose a hypothesis and then conduct studies to validate their ideas. The end result is the formation of a theory. Note: A theory is not a fact; it is only a well-tested idea of how something works. In sound science, researchers are reluctant to state that something is a fact until they have tested it thoroughly over time and from many different perspectives. In fields such as psychology where human behavior is the topic of study, it is difficult to know for sure that a theory is accurately describing or explaining a situation; therefore, researchers are careful with their interpretation of findings and avoid stating that the findings are facts. From theories, researchers then create models. A model is a structured and real life application of the theory for a specific phenomenon or event. Just as an architect's model of a building (including lighting, landscaping, and color) helps everyone understand the big picture building concept, models of theories help practitioners apply the theory to the real world. Social psychologists use theories and models to help study and explain how people perceive others and social events or situations, how people influence each other, and how people relate to other individuals or groups. As you might expect, different researchers and practitioners look at the same event or situation from different perspectives or theoretical approaches. This discussion focuses on the most common approaches or categories of theories used in social psychology. To prepare for this Discussion: • Review Chapter 1 of the course text, Social Psychology, focusing on how each of the following social psychology approaches would view or attempt to explain a specific situation (pay close attention to the examples used in the text): • Motivational theories • Learning theories • Cognitive theories • Decision-making theories • Interdependence theories • Sociocultural theories • Watch the video, "Introducing Social Psychology," from the Contemporary Videos in Social Psychology DVD. Focus on why people study social psychology and think about the kinds of problems social psychology attempts to solve. • Next, consider the following three social situations: • A high school or college campus shooting • An act of domestic violence or child abuse within a family • Looting of shops and homes after a natural disaster • Now, consider the three social situations and think about how each of the social psychology approaches would treat each situation. Write a discussion of how two of the social psychology approaches might explain one of the three situations. Be brief but clear in your analysis. Note: Put the two approaches you discussed in the first line of your post. Resources: • Course Text: Taylor, S. E., Peplau, L. A., & Sears, D. O. (2006). Social psychology (12th ed.).
