The purpose of this assignment is to give you opportunities to revise your literature review, method section, and practice designing a complete research study. Please review the Final Research Paper Instructions and Grading Rubric documents in the Research Paper Info folder on Blackboard to help you with this assignment. I decided I didn’t want you to have to worry about taking and finishing your final paper on the same day, so I gave you a couple extra days to complete your final paper so you could make it even better! 😉 The Final Research Paper is due Tues. 5/11 at 11:59 PM. The final paper is worth 100 points (which is 17% of your entire grade and worth the same as 2 exams!!), so please do your best work. What to include in your final APA style research paper: 1. Title page (APA formatted with a running head included) 2. Abstract (revise for final paper with updated methods and expected results) 3. Introduction (with research question, revised literature review, and hypothesis statement included)4. Method (with subsections for Participants, Design, Procedures, and Measures/Materials) 5. Discussion (with brief summary of expected results) 6. References Please review the detailed Final Research Paper instructions in the Research Paper Info folder. I also wanted to remind you that part of your grade for the final paper is addressing any comments and/or suggestions for improvement I made on your Lit Review and Method section. For example, if I said that you need an additional or different reference or I said that your citation was not in correct APA format or I said you were missing required information, these changes need to be made in the final paper. I have been very lenient on grading your previous writing assignments and provided lots of feedback for improvement; therefore, I expect you to edit your past drafts and do your best work for the final research paper. Please review my comments throughout you previous Turnitin assignments and let me know if you have any questions about what I wrote. I’m happy to clarify or expand on any of my feedback for you.

Each essay should have a strong thesis statement and
conclusion, and the body paragraphs should support the thesis statement.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, before you can recommend potential pharmacotherapeutics to address a patient’s condition or disorder, you must understand the basic function and structure of the neuron and central nervous system. For this Assignment, you will review and apply your understanding of neuroanatomy by addressing a set of short answer prompts.
To Prepare:

Review the Learning Resources for this week in preparation to complete this Assignment.
Reflect on the basic function and structure of the neuron in relation to the central nervous system.
Reflect on the inter-connectedness between neurons and the central nervous system, including the pathway and distribution of electrical impulses.
Reflect on how neurons communicate with each other and review the concept of neuroplasticity.

To complete:
Address the following Short Answer prompts for your Assignment. Be sure to include references to the Learning Resources for this week.

In 4 or 5 sentences, describe the anatomy of the basic unit of the nervous system, the neuron. Include each part of the neuron and a general overview of electrical impulse conduction, the pathway it travels, and the net result at the termination of the impulse. Be specific and provide examples.
Answer the following (listing is acceptable for these questions):

What are the major components that make up the subcortical structures?

In 3-4 pages please write your personal theory of child and adolescent development. If you haven’t had any formal training in developmental theories—Great! You are exactly where you need to be right now. This assignment is a reflective piece, and should be based on your own thinking and life experiences. You are expected to include at least two references in the body of your paper.At least one reference must be from our textbook, and the other reference may also be from our textbook, or from a peer-refereed professional journal (not a book, web page, magazine, newspaper, etc.). Reference your work using the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual. Return to the APA folder in the Orientation/Activities 1 module if you are unsure about how to do correct citations. Reference attached rubric for assignment expectations.What are the most important factors in determining how a child turns out as an adult?How do children’s minds grow and change over time? What roles do “nature” and “nurture” play in human development? If children have challenges in their early lives (for example, alcoholism in the family, poverty, abuse or neglect, and the like) does this mean that they are going to have difficulties later? If so, what kind of difficulties and why? If not, why not? Please make sure that what you write are your own ideas and your own thinking, and to acknowledge how you ended up believing these things (experience, reading, a mentor, etc.). Remember you must use a minimum of two sources from the text and/or other reference. Please also give this assignment your best effort, because you will be revisiting it at a later date. Set yourself up for success later by trying your best now (I realize that this is an odd assignment—Its purposes will become clear as the semester develops).As with all assignments in this course, please type and double-space with 1” margins all around and use a 12 point Times New Roman or Arial size font for your paper.

The goal of this assignment is to have you analyze a selection of poems, focusing specifically on persona, tone, imagery, symbolism, language, and form.  Also, this assignment should improve your ability to read and think critically.
Task:
Compose 2 short essays on 2 different poems (only choose poems on the syllabus): 1 poem per essay. Each essay should focus on a single poetic element: persona, tone, imagery, symbolism, an aspect of poetic language, or an aspect of poetic form. In the essays, discuss how these various elements relate to the overall meaning/theme of the respective poem. You must choose two different elements to analyze. Do not use any outside research for this assignment.

Frist poem -Do not go gentle into that good night
{Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.}
second poem Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow’, Spoken by Macbeth
{Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day today
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.}
