Your brief research essay, in which you will systematically investigate a topic or issue, is a
1500 +
word essay which will require research consisting of a well-defined research question, as well as the used of MLA documentation, including parenthetical citations and a works cited page.
Your Specific Research Essay Requirements
You are tasked with writing an Argumentative Research Essay related to your chosen course sub-topic of Food, Water, or Medicine. Since you are not completing this research essay using the Respondus Software, you
MUST
build on ideas that you’ve created in your previous assignments. Do not deviate from the topic you initially chose. For this research essay, choose a different aspect of your chosen topic to explore. Recall the following possible topics under each category:
Food
· Possible Food Sustainability Topics
o Genetically modified food
o Food addictions (sugar, fat, etc.)
o Fast food
o Organic food

o Superfoods
Prewriting Process
Do this by beginning with a research question. That research question will then become your thesis statement for this essay. After creating your research question, look for sources in the
HCC Library Database system.
In your body paragraphs, you will inform you readers by answering the research question and supporting your points with sources from the
HCC Library Database system
.
Ex. Research Question:
· What are the ways that genetically modified crops negatively impact ecology?
Ex. Thesis Statement:
· Genetically modified crops have a negative impact on ecology because they threaten the genetic diversity of our food supply.
In the research essay, the writer would go on to argue the different ways that genetically modified crops threaten the food supply.
Additional Research Paper Requirements
· An Outline is required. See “Course Resources” for examples.

Students will select one scholarly research article from the three provided below. Analyse their selected article by responding to the areas identified below that speak to evaluating the connection between the theoretical framework presented by the authors and the methodological approach they took. To do this students will need to identify the conceptual construct and theoretical framework directing the research, methods used, study limitations, and other theoretical and ethical issues of the research project the article describes.

Select for analysis ONE scholarly research article from the 3 options provided above.
The article you select is an example of original research using one of the three methods we have studied so far. In your analysis of the study you will need to:
Identify and critique the rationale of the study;
Consider if this study responds to a gap in the research, builds upon existing research, applies a new technique or responds to a social problem.
Identify and critique the research question(s) or hypothesis;
Assess whether the question set or hypothesis testing approach draws on a theoretical framework.
Identify the conceptual construct directing the research questions.
Describe the definitions presented in the literature review that define the scope and application of the questions or hypothesis.
Critique whether the conceptual construct and its associated definitions clarifies, focuses or limits the scope of the study.
Describe and critique the research methodology;
Identify whether the methodology is qualitative, quantitative or mixed method in approach and justify your analysis of this with external source references.
Describe and critique the choice of research population or data universe
Identify and critique the data collection method and sampling approach
Identity the analytical components of the method, define what they are and how they are used.
Critique whether the authors have applied the data collection and analytical techniques appropriately.
Identify and critique the study limitations
Identify and critique how the researchers addressed the ethical considerations raised by the methodology.
Analyse the study findings; and
Critique whether these are logically connected to the research question and data collection approach.
Consider whether the sampling approach taken will support further generalisation of the study findings
Present an assessment of the heuristic value of the study.
Consider the contribution of the study to gap in existing knowledge
Consider whether the study respond to and either resolve or further expand insight into an existing social problem?
Consider whether the study raises concerns or new insights for further investigation.
Your analysis will need to discuss the above areas in an essay approach and draw on the textbook, unit materials and additional scholarly resources provided in the unit reading list or through your own research.
Use the Harvard system of referencing, providing the sources of your information wherever relevant. Thereference list at the end of the essay should include all sources cited within the body of the essay.
You are likely to draw on between 6-8 scholarly references to support your analysis, including the textbook, unit materials and wider research literature related to the original study.

Data collection in research is similar to collecting data during physical and history assessments. Share a time that you collected data on your patient and analyzed the results to develop a plan of care. How will this be similar to the data collection for your evidence-based practice project?
evidence base practice project : pressure ulcer in older people greater than 65 years old in USA
minimum 500 words.reference must be less than 5 years old

You are required to read the readings set for that week, critically reflect on the questions provided and write your reflections in journal format. In total, you will write five separate entries. Sharing is an important part of relationship building.
*Please note: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in particular, and all students, are advised that some readings
contain very sensitive/confronting content
. Some students may find some readings
very distressing
.
Total word length: Approx. 1800 words. In keeping within this word limit, each journal entry should stay within 360-380 words. Keep your journals concise, ‘to the point’, critically reflecting and answering the questions set for that week.
The autobiographical information in the five entries that identifies student’s history, culture and biography must include critical
reflection on the readings, including Textbook chapters.
REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS
Week one:
Think about your own story in relation to The Introduction from Timothy Bottoms’ book. How do you relate to this depiction of Australia? Think about Ernie Grant’s model- Land, Language, Culture, Time, Place, Relationships- when and where were you born, what is your cultural background, what is your history and connections to that place, or the place you now live? How does your reflection and understandings help or hinder you in seeking to build relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples? Link reflections to week one readings.
Week two:
What are the key points for you in these readings based on your previous knowledge?
What you are bringing to social work, negative and positive, from your history and socialisation?
Why do you need to understand history, colonisation and the contemporary legacies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples? Who have you been socialised to see as inferior or superior peoples? Demonstrate critical reflection in your responses. Link reflections to Week two readings.
Week three:
What did you know about Torres Strait Islanders previously and what have you learned from these readings? What do you need to do/know to engage more respectfully with Torres Strait Islander peoples? What is distinctive Torres Strait Islander history/culture? For further learning view Eddie Mabo Life of an Island Man (WS2121 LearnJCU site). Link reflections to week three readings.
Week four:
What are the impacts of colonisation and the Stolen Generation? Is it different for Aboriginal people than for Torres Strait Islanders? How would this impact manifest in families and communities in contemporary times? Are you aware of your own family’s experiences in relation to the Stolen Generation? Did your family talk about it?
Link reflections to week four readings.
Week five:
What are your experiences of grief and loss? Are these losses personal, cultural, intergenerational? Will your experiences help or hinder you in understanding and empathising with the cycles of grief, loss and trauma experienced as intergenerational legacies for Indigenous Australians? Link your reflections to week five readings.
