Category: Sample Essay 2

First, choose your topic: Do research on a problem that matters to you. According to our textbook, “a good academic research topic needs to be substantive enough that you can find adequate information but not so broad that you become overwhelmed by the number of sources you find” (Lunsford et al. 448). With this in mind, avoid broad, predictable, and “overdone” topics (no papers on abortion, death penalty, marijuana legalization, etc!). If you start with a general topic (something like “the problem with animal cruelty”), narrow it down to something more specific and relevant (like, “the problem with pit bull legislation”)
If you wish to write about the current COVID-19 crisis for this essay, you can, but narrow down that topic to a specific problem that the crisis has caused, like: how this pandemic has impacted learning, how it has impacted small businesses, how it has impacted the healthcare industry, mass panic buying, anti-Asian racism, etc. (You can currently view all COVID-19 articles on the NY Times website for free, but you must make an account with them to do so
Find appropriate sources: This assignment requires you to engage deeply with evidence from at least five trustworthy sources, with at least one of these sources coming from GWC library databases like EBSCOhost Academic Search Complete. You will want to find sources that speak to different aspects of your topic: for instance, if you’ve found several articles that discuss the effects that helicopter parenting can have on a child’s social skills, you will want to make sure you find sources that focus on other parts of the paper, like how this parenting style affects a child’s academic performance, or, the solutions or alternatives to helicopter parenting. And if your sources are heavy on data and studies, you could look for sources that provide another side to your topic, like a personal story or experience. Think about the variety of evidence that an author like Jamie Oliver or Gene Weingarten provides, and follow their lead!

When providing evidence from sources and studies in your essay, you are expected to introduce them, and then embed and engage with specific points, paraphrases, and quotes; however, the sources themselves should not dominate your voice! Use the sources to support the points that you wish to make.

Structure your essay: The first part of your paper is the problem section: present evidence and examples to convince the reader that the topic you are writing about is a problem that needs immediate solving. In other words, in this first section of your paper, your paragraphs might show how the problem started, who it affects, how it affects them, and so on. In the second part of the paper, convince the reader that specific solution(s) will be effective, and address the critics who might question the effectiveness of the solution(s). By refuting or building common ground with potential counter-arguments, you show the reader that your solutions are sound and that you have successfully assessed all sides of the issue. It’s okay if your solution does not eliminate the problem! You can argue that the solution will help alleviate the problem, or at least make things a little better.

Background
In this course, we discussed many aspects of public health emergency management. The last discussion assignment in this course provides students with an opportunity to reflect on what was learned. Specific attention should be directed to the implications for practice.

Assignment
For the last assignment in this course, please take a few moments to reflect and share some of your experiences over the past few weeks of this class. How does what you learned to apply to your current or future role as an EDM professional? How will current and emerging technologies enable our communities to become more resilient and safer? What content does global health security have as it relates to public health emergency management? Here are a few questions other questions to guide your thinking:

In one paragraph, how would you summarize this course to others?
What was the most surprising thing you learned in this course? What was the most important?
What did you like and not like about the course?
What are the challenges and opportunities in having access to electronic health records in a public health emergency?
What advice would you give to students planning on taking this course in the future?

Please be sure to provide references to the peer-reviewed literature. For graduate level scholarship this is a requirement. I am looking for you to go beyond the assigned readings and use the literature to support your conclusions and analysis. At the graduate level, we are not able to simply assert our opinions but it must be linked to the theories and supported by scholarly work. For this class, in particular, I would like you to support your analysis with the most current literature possible. Use of external non-peer reviewed sources can also be utilized in conjunction with your peer-reviewed sources such as government websites and think tanks.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPERS
Basic Psychology Writing Assignments

You will be writing four separate papers, based on four different chapters from our text (Feldman, 14th Edition), which you have not been tested on. The four chapters are:
CHAPTER 10: MOTIVATION/EMOTION

CHAPTER 13: PERSONALITY

CHAPTER 14: HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY

CHAPTER 17: SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

For each chapter’s paper, choose 5 “items” to write about. They can be theories, concepts, or research findings from the specified chapter. Number each “item” 1 to 5 as you write one paragraph for each “item”, for a total of 5 paragraphs. In each of these 5 paragraphs, provide convincing evidence that the particular “item” (theory, concept, finding) is accurate (true or false) for you, based on evidence you provide from your own experience and self-understanding.
Be sure to label each paper by the chapter title (i.e. Chapter 10 Motivation/Emotion).
At the end of each such paper write a final summary paragraph (sixth and final) summing up how accurate (over the prior 5 paragraphs of your paper) the specific chapter is in describing/explaining YOU, in your opinion.
This exercise is intended to get you to think about how Psychology as about you. By thoughtfully linking this new material (the “items”) to known material (your self-knowledge) you will make the new concepts, theories, and findings more meaningful and thereby more memorable. This may, I hope, provide lessons you can use explicitly in your future study and life experience.
Papers may be as long or brief as long as you follow the requirements above.
Writing assignment will be 50% of your grade. Tests given so far, the other 50%.
