Question 1.

The reading focuses on disciplinarity. Post an insightful comment on the work you have done or will do in your discipline. You may want to consider the following questions: What does disciplinarity mean for you and your studies? Have you taken any courses in your major thus far? If so, what have you learned so far about the “shape of the discipline”? What do you hope to learn? If you have not had courses in your major, what do you expect to learn, or what do you already know from job experience about your major? If you have “real-world” experience in your field of study, how does that compareto what you hope to learn or what you currently are learning?(This is my first semester) (My major is Associate of Science in Health Information Science/Medical Coding Emphasis)

 

Question 2.

 

In a 100-200-word short essay, describe the approach to the essay examination as presented in your reading. You will want to summarize, paraphrase, and condense the information. You might consider organizing your response by glossing over the entire process or by honing in on a particular aspect of the reading.

 

Question 3.

 

In a 100-200-word short essay, address the following questions: When considering the whole essay in revision, how do you understand FACT? What is your definition of each of the letters of this revision strategy? What are some questions that you would ask of the text when considering each letter? How does this approach help to ensure that the essay has a holistic revision approach?

 

Question4.

 

Using what you have learned in this unit’s reading about writing in the disciplines, write a 100-200-word short essay that addresses some or all of the following: What is your major? What “discipline” does that major most easily fall into? Given what you know about your major so far, what types of methodologies are used? What kinds of evidence are considered permissible? What type of documentation format is most often used in that discipline? What kinds of questions does the discipline ask itself? What are some of the writing assignments in the discipline?

 

If you use outside sources, including ther textbooks, you need to use quotation marks for lifted language, as well as in-text and reference list citations

Exercise 1: Data Interpretation
Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organism requires oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of ppm (parts per million).
The data in Table 4 came from an experiment to identify the amount of oxygen required to support the maximum number of fish.

Post-Lab Questions
What patterns do you observe based on the data in Table 4?

What would have been the hypothesis of the scientists performing this experiment.

What were the independent and dependent variables?

What were the control(s) in this experiment?

Exercise 2: Experimental Variables
Determine the variables tested in the each of the following experiments. If applicable, determine and identify any positive or negative controls.

Observations
A study is being done to test the effects of habitat space on the size of fish populations. Different sized aquariums are set up with six goldfish in each one. Over a period of six months, the fish are fed the same type and amount of food. The aquariums are equally maintained and cleaned throughout the experiment. The temperature of the water is kept constant. At the end of the experiment the number of surviving fish is surveyed.

Independent Variable:

Dependent Variable:

Controlled Variables/Constants:

To determine if the type of agar affects bacterial growth, a scientist cultures E. coli on four different types of agar. Five petri dishes are set up to collect results:

One with nutrient agar and E. coli
One with mannitol-salt agar and E. coli
One with MacConkey agar and E. coli
One with LB agar and E. coli
One with nutrient agar but NO E. coli

All of the petri dishes received the same volume of agar, and were the same shape and size. During the experiment, the temperature at which the petri dishes were stored, and at the air quality remained the same. After one week the amount of bacterial growth was measured.
Independent Variable:

Dependent Variable:

Controlled Variables/Constants:

Exercise 3: Testable Observations
Determine which of the following observations (1-6) are testable. For those that are testable answer the following questions:

Determine if the observation is testable (quantitative) or not testable (qualitative) and explain why.
If the observation is testable:
Write a hypothesis
What would be your experimental approach – how will you collect your data?
What are the dependent and independent variables?
What are your controls – both positive and negative?

. What do you think Christine Frederick feared when she said “Our greatest enemy is the woman with the career?” Page 29

Christine Frederick’s quote went against what Ellen Richards was working towards. I think by her saying this, she was fearful that women would go into the workforce and forget about their home and role as a homemaker. She might have also feared that a woman would wait until she finished school to get married and have children. A woman with a career would have other priorities, not just to please her husband and to procreate. Instead, she suggested that a woman can practice her skills as in the home, for example decorating her house and planning balanced meals for her own children.

2. Ellen Richards was accepted in MIT as a “special student” because they didn’t want have the precedent of coeducation. Is this something that could still be happening in today’s society? A woman having to be unknown or not on a roster because of her gender?

It seems silly that in the 21st century, women can be rejected into schools because of their gender. I don’t think this is an issue in schools. I think it is more common in the work force, specifically in the writing world. Many female authors have pseudonames because publishers won’t even look at their books if they are written by females. Many famous books/series, for example the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling, would never have been published.

 

Chapter 2:

1. Why did women carry a heavier burden during the domestic sanitary uplift?

It was easier for men to upkeep the outside of the home. They could hire someone to fix the plumbing or to aid with construction of the house. Women were responsible inside the home because they were deemed more fit. They had to make sure the home was clean and their kids were healthy. Although some middle/upperclass women could afford to pay for help, they still had to make sure everything was done right to avoid someone catching ill.

2. The end of the chapter states “we may find ourselves turning to those old texts on household sanitation and bacteriology for more than historical insight” (54). Do you think this is true or has our science come far enough?

Being in the science field has showed me that science has come so far in preventing the spread of diseases in everyday life. Every hospital/clinic I have volunteered/interned at has SDS books that can help anyone in any situation. Even in our homes, all of our cleaning supplies have warning signs and directions that help even the novice cleaner. I think the foreshadow or threat in this book is dramatic and incorrect. We also know many of the ways bacteria/germs were handled in the past were incorrect.

You’ll have a couple of articles that talk about the benefits of the robots. I choose two benefits (Fast service & Regulation) you’ll look for a supporting quote from the articles to support these two points. You’ll need the articles in writing the 2 paragraphs.

ex: In paragraph 1 you’ll choose from the one article one quote that support Benefit one (fast service) and you’ll copy and paste it as it is AS IT IS. You’ll start writing the paragraph after choosing the quote from one of the articles and then you’ll start like this:

Topic: Caregivers Robots in family.

Intro: I don’t want a definition of the robot. Talk about their benefits in general. A story or anything that will make the intro good. And before the last sentence write one sentence said something negative about them and then you write the word (However) and the Thesis statement right after it. This is the thesis statement: There are many benefits for allowing the use of the caregivers Robots in the family such as fast service & regulation.

Paragraph1: Benefit one: Fast Service

1. Intro to the quote: Look at the quote and write an intro before it.

2: The quote it self: According to ….. and the quote it self.

3: Explaining the quote: Talk about the quote with your own words. Explain it more.

4: Experience: A research or a real experiment done that will support what you said in the 3 parts above.

Paragraph 2: Benefit two: (Regulation)

1. Intro to the quote: Look at the quote and write an intro before it.

2: The quote it self: According to ….. and the quote it self.

3: Explaining the quote: Talk about the quote with your own words. Explain it more.

4: Experience: A research or a real experiment done that will support what you said in the 3 parts above.

Conclusion: summarize what this is all about. Do not write a new information and then write a suggestion.

References: You will only choose 2 quotes and so it will only be two different articles. Copy and paste the quote and the name of the article under it. Do not put the links or anything.

You have 4 articles below. You need only two quotes from two articles only to support the two benefits (Fast service, Regulation).

 

Thats it!

A paper review is a short essay (3-4)  single space 4pages reporting what you have learned from reading a research paper. Writing reviews for the papers you have read is a great way to sharpen your paper reading skills such a review is typically structured in three sections:

1. Summary

Give a brief summary of the work in your own words. This section demonstrates your understanding of the paper, and as such it should answer the following question:

• What is the research problem the paper attempts to address?
• What are the claimed contributions of the paper?
• How do the authors substantiate their claims?
• What are the conclusions?
• It is imperative that you use your own word to summarize the paper .another way to think of it is that you are writing an alternative, elaborate abstract for the paper.

2. Evaluation

Evaluate the work by answering the following question:

• Is the research problem significant?
• Are the contributions significant?
• Are the claims valid?

Learn to be fair: point out the strengths and weaknesses of the work. if you are reading that has been published for a while , make sure you are reading the paper in the right historical context : what seems to be obvious now might have been ground- breaking then.

3. Synthesis:

Generate any interesting thoughts you have on the work by consulting the following questions:

• What is the crux of the research problem?
• What are some alternative approaches to address the research problem?
• What is a better way to substantiate the claim of the authors?
• What is a good argument against the case made by the authors?
• How can the research results be improved?
• Can the research results be applied to another context?
• What are the open problems raised by this work?
• Bottom-line can we do better than the authors?
