...writing reviews writing a journal article review You may be asked to write a journal article review. Although this may be an unfamiliar exercise, it is not as complex a task as writing an essay requiring a lot of library research, and not the same as a review in The Canberra Times which is written for the general reader. Your journal article review is written for a reader (eg, your supervisor, lecturer or tutor) who is knowledgeable in the discipline and is interested not just in the coverage and content of the article being reviewed, but also in your critical assessment of the ideas and argument that are being presented by the author. Your review might therefore be guided by the following questions: Writing a journal article review Objectives Theory Concepts Argument Method Evidence Values Literature Contribution Style Conclusion What does the article set out to do? Is there an explicit theoretical framework? If not, are there important theoretical assumptions? What are the central concepts? Are they clearly defined? What is the central argument? Are there specific hypotheses? What methods are employed to test these? Is evidence provided? How adequate is it? Are value positions clear or are they implicit? How does the work fit into the wider literature? How well does the work advance our knowledge of the subject? How clear is the author’s language/style/expression? A brief overall assessment. So how can you begin to meet these demands? step 1: Get to know the article...

...what they are saying. I would describe this color as being gifted with connecting with people on a deeper level. Many people that are creative with vivid imaginations are most likely blue. This color is a true romantic and follow their heart. I would say I fit in this color in every aspect of its characteristics. I do everything I can to avoid conflicts. I don’t like to argue or debate at all. I’m very creative and love to talk with people. I have a big circle of friends and I value those relationships as well as the ones with my family. I tend to be the peacemaker in difficult situations. I think Blue has great qualities and a few that can be challenging. For example if you can use the good characteristics such as: empathy, sensitivity, accepting and be sympathetic when talking and listening to people this is an excellent quality to have. I think most people would be more likely to confide in you and ask you for help with issues as you won’t react in a negative, judgmental way to their issues. The negative effects of the color blue is the non-confrontational view. Sometimes there needs to be a debate in order to solve a problem. It’s part of the process to finding a resolution. I see myself learning to accept the debating process however it’s not natural to me at all. I learned a lot about myself through this exercise and how to communicate with others. I think my goals are going to be to try to identify what someone’s’ color might be and then use those strengths to communicate...

...CheckPoint: Group Communication Stroker Ace XCOM/285 3/10/2012 CheckPoint: Group Communication For this check point assignment, I will be discussing how businesses can organize their employees/staff into teams, the benefits of doing so, and the communication within the group. Group communication differs from individual communication because you need to always be actively listening. Making sure that other group members get an opportunity to speak and share their opinions. Being an active listener can also help resolve conflict between one group member and another. Some examples of conflict resolution would be to make responsibilities and ground rules clear at the beginning, discuss problems as they arise, rather than letting them fester till people explode, and realize that group members are not responsible for each other’s’ happiness. One of the most important elements of a successful team is open and honest communication, with employees sharing opinions and information to ensure that all team members are certain of the business objectives and how to achieve them. Ways to foster group communication would be schedule regular meetings with the whole team, so that each member can provide feedback as to any concerns they may be having...

Adjourned- An adjourned vote is a way in which the Commons can debate but do not have to vote. 3. Emergency- Emergency issues are discussed and debated, but this rarely happens.

...Myth 6: Women Talk Too Much In the myth, “Women Talk Too Much,” Janet Holmes discusses the misconception that women talk more than men. Throughout the myth she proves that this overused statement is false. She finds that the environment, and different situations are what women’s discussions depend on, and ironically men tend to dominate them. Holmes discusses numerous studies that measured the amount of talking used by men and women in different contexts. The first study, which she called the “New Zealand Study,” found that men dominated talking time. This generally starts when children are attending elementary school (formal contexts). They found that two-thirds of the classroom discussion is taken by teachers and the rest is taken over by male students. The explanation for these findings is that males are more concerned than females about earning status and power. So they feel that by, “participating and verbally contributing,” will help to gain more status in formal contexts. Formal contexts meaning public situations (i.e. business meetings, seminars, committee meetings, etc.) The study also found that men tend to dominate discussions by patronizing women. For example, in this chapter they give a scenario of a work meeting. In the meeting the woman discusses an issue and is interrupted by a male colleague. He interrupts by saying, “I think what Anne is trying to say Roger is….” By interrupting, he’s putting across a message that he knows better (a way of trying...

...and encountered argument I really didn’t know what to think except that most people argue about one thing or another (happens a lot with my brother and myself), but that I’ve read the chapter I have I a new respect for what it takes to put together an argument to make people understand your side of an issue. 2) Argument is everywhere. This statement true do to the fact with all the things happen now a days people are arguing about just about everything from the government passing a law that allows them to spy on people, or that people believe that all states should follow Washington and Colorado in legalizing marijuana. 3) A traditional argument is based off the ideal of winning the argument, for example when there is a presidental debate in which both side try to prove the other one wrong. An example of consensual argument is when a group looks at all side of an arugment and trys to come up with a consenus on whos ideal help/benefits most or all people involved. 4) The conditions in which an argument works best is when there are the following, 1. An issue (a central focus point), 2. An arguer (someone who knows about the issue and is motivated to initiate an argument), 3. An audience ( people that are willing to listen to the argument weather they be friendly or hostile), 4. Common ground ( an effective argument nust have some kind of common ground between the audience and arguer that is relevant to the issue), 5. A forum ( the ability to be creative and know that they...

...Introduction Doing teamwork is never easy. Different people of various backgrounds come together, frictions are inevitable and conflicts are bound to happen. In the upcoming surveying studio sessions, we are going to work as a team, either to hold a discussion or to do a group work. Before we get started, just like doing any thing else, we have to have a direction. Therefore, we came up with this report. It presents the possible problems that we may encounter in our future groupwork, and we will also provide solutions to each respective problem. In the followings, the problems identified are categorized into three main parts, namely discussion, working after meeting and general problems. Discussion Meeting is an essential element in collaborative work. Through meetings, team members can share their views and opinions on the groupwork. Members can also know more about the strengths and weaknesses of their partners so as to achieve a better division of labour. Besides, meetings can foster communication and understanding among group members which helps to develop a harmonious team spirit and a sense of belongings. (1) Side-tracking In group discussions, we always come up with discussing topics outside the original themes. The reason why side-tracking occurs in discussion is group members are bored with the original topics. The formal format as well as the atmosphere of the meetings often boresteam members especially after the discussion has been going on for a long period...

...BIS-261 Case Study Varita Johnson March 21, 2013 1. The best method for Edward is to conduct an interview with all participants involved in each company. Even though this process may take longer than any other, this method is by far the most effective way to understand the business function and rules. This method also will ensure all participants involved have some input in the discussions concerning the new system. To ensure time is saved, Edward need to be organized by prioritizing functions requested checking off all requirements that were discussed making sure all information gathered will produce complete, comprehensive and correct requirements specification. 2. What Edward needs to do in order to acquire customer interest and participation, he should put together a survey or questionnaire about the service of the system where customers are able to check off the box that would benefit them as users of the system. By collecting data from customers, this will give the Brokers and Project Manager a better idea of how to meet the needs of their customers. 3.

...Module 1/Week 1 Lecture I. Thinking Critically About One Issue in Education… and Taking a Position Now that you’ve discussed the benefits of Critical Thinking in general (to help you consider all sides of an argument to better support your own position on a topic), let’s get started on developing your thesis (claim) and reasons (support) for Essay #1, on the larger issue of “College Education.” First, carefully read and review the essays in “Casebook 1” in your Current Issues and Enduring Questions text (pages 547-574). Here you’ll be reading a variety of arguments on different points of debate within the larger issue of College Education.

For example, you might decide you’d like to write your first argumentative essay on one of the following topics of debate: -Does today’s Bachelors Degree have the same value it did in the past? or -Should students should be able to specialize in their degree early on, or should they be required to take a number of “core classes” in the liberal arts for a “well-rounded” education in college? or -What is the best way for a college to prepare its graduates for the “real world” and the workplace? After you’ve decided on your narrower topic of focus, submit your initial post to the “College Education: What’s It Worth?” Discussion Board and respond to at least two classmates’ initial posts as well.

Chapter 1 discussed some great information about the constant changes in healthcare and trends that were created. This chapter discusses how some trends was beneficial to impacting change throughout the organization. I was really intrigued by the discussion about organizational survival strategies. I did not realize that this is a crucial part of growth and development that an organization must be involved in. Chapter 2 discussed how change can impact the environment and productivity of the organization. Manager’s behavior and response were discussed in the readings. I enjoyed reading about the examples that were representative of how certain changes in healthcare was positive and still in existent today. The Y2K was a great example because even though I was young in college I understood the concept of the importance of being ready for this transition. This specific example showed me as a manager that facing critical issues and being proactive and establishing programs will lead to a successful process with change. What had the greatest impact on you? The greatest impact for me was learning how to be ready and flexible to the changing evolution in healthcare. Understanding that you have to expect good and bad changes but also predict that resistance will come with the new endeavor. As a manager being in control and setting aside...
