...Documenting Sources Michelle Jones COM/150 June 27, 2010 Documenting Sources The main topic of my essay is Beautiful Woman-A Organization Creating Powerful Women. The subtopics chosen to support this topic is: Education, Self Esteem and Workshops. These topics will best describe the point of the main topic chosen for women. As woman working to become the overall "Beautiful Woman, I have learned the major sacrifices it takes to be that soulful and realistic person. Often time's women tend to loose themselves in the shuffle of life and they forget about the importance of being a woman. Sure we were placed here to be the nurtures to our families, friends and spouse but aside from all of that we have to nurture [us] first (which can sometimes be complicated when you become use to pleasing others). I plan to show in this essay why it is important that every woman understands her position as a woman and how it is important for us to be as empowered as possible. In 1833; Oblerin College was founded. It was the nations first university to accept women and black students. The next important event was the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. This convention added fuel to the flame of education and suffrage. The Seneca Falls Declaration has been called “the single most important document of the nineteenth-century American woman’s movement”. At the convention a declaration concerning women’s rights was adopted modeling the Declaration of Independence. Appearing...

...Documenting Sources Documenting means showing where you got source information that's not your own. Remember, a research paper blends your ideas with ideas and information from other sources. Documentation shows the reader what ideas are yours and what information and ideas you've taken from a source to support your point of view. Why Document? * By correctly documenting, you establish your credibility as a writer and researcher. You're letting your reader know that you've consulted experts whose ideas and information back up your own thoughts and ideas. Consequently, you make your viewpoint or argument more believable. * When you don't document correctly, your academic integrity can be called into question, because it may seem as though you're passing off others' ideas as your own. * If you don't document, you could inadvertently plagiarize, which is grounds for dismissal from college. Academic Integrity Academic integrity involves not only acknowledging your sources, but also creating your own ideas. Academic integrity, explained in this way, sounds relatively simple. But the particular applications are a bit more tricky. The most common academic integrity problems that most students encounter are: 1. relying too heavily on others' information in a research paper 2. relying too heavily on others' words in a paraphrase or summary 3. citing and documenting sources incorrectly 4. relying too heavily on help from other sources The most egregious...

...Of the five most common types of plagiarism, these are the two most commonly found in student papers: "Copy & Paste Plagiarism" Any time you lift a sentence or significant phrase intact from a source, you must use quotations marks and reference the source. Sentences and phrases must have quotation marks and citation in order to escape an accusation of “excessive use of undocumented sources.” In 200-level courses or lower, these errors are usually the result of not knowing yet how to properly document sources. However, if large portions of an original source are used without documentation, instructors tend to assume that the plagiarism was intentional rather than accidental. "Word Switch Plagiarism" If you take a sentence from a source and change around a few words, it is still plagiarism. This is commonly done by students intending to commit plagiarism but hoping that using synonyms and switched word order will prevent the plagiarism checking program from identifying the original sources. Because it is “overt” and not an accident, its detection is grounds for punishments ranging from failure of the assignment or course up to the possibility of being expelled from the university, regardless of the course level. How to Avoid Committing Plagiarism 1. Any Information taken from another source (even from the textbook) must have an in-text citation which points to the full bibliographical information for that source on the References page at the end of the essay...

...Documenting Sources: I have chosen the three websites below as possible sources to help support my chosen topic as well as the subtopics of my expository essay: http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php http://dba-oracle.com/dress_code_tattoos.htm http://www.isus.edu/ia/journals/ideology/conter as required by APA guidelines, I as still exploring and cross referencing the reliability of these websites to even be used as cit-able sources by checking the credibility of the author and or organization, affiliations that may indicate bias, and if the website offers the opportunities for user feedback and or updates. I discovered all three websites by using the Google search engine in an attempt to corroborate my topic through the World Wide Web. Two of the Three were scholarly articles; one by Florida State University and the other by the Eastern Illinois University; both had multiple citing for correlation between ethnicity, age, sex, and tattoos. The third is a website sponsored by a consulting firm called Burleson consulting whose main goal is to help potential employees advance in the work place despite their body modifications. All three help build the foundation of my investigation into why the body modification industry seems to be booming when other businesses are failing in the present economy, however, they don’t really substantiate my query as to a concrete reason. For the answer to that I know that I will have to do some exploring of my own at my job and...

P. O. Box 196, Ethiopia. E-mail: aberhaneth@gmail.com, aberhane2001@yahoo.com. Tel: +251912024213. Accepted 4 June, 2009 This paper reviews and discusses the importance of documenting ethnopharmacological information on medicinal plants. The literature review was done by collecting relevant information from journal articles, workshop proceedings, books and electronic resources. The review sums up the importance of documenting the indigenous traditional knowledge on medicinal plants as being a vehicle for; (i) preserving cultural heritage, (ii) ethnopharmacological bases of drug research and (ii) preserving of biological diversity. Key words: Ethnopharmacology, indigenous knowledge, medicinal plants, biological and diversity. INTRODUCTION Local knowledge of indigenous peoples includes information about the ecosystem in general, but also about specific plants used as medicine, food, building material and the like (Leonti et al., 2003). Establishing the historical depth of medicinal plant use is relevant from a variety of perspectives. Not only would it show definitely that indigenous...

...Documenting independence and objectivity: a well-written charter provides the framework and purpose for internal audit conduct Many companies accept the thought of an internal audit charter to document when an internal audit is supposed to be independent and objective. An internal audit charter is a formal document that outlines the purpose, authority, and responsibility. It gives the internal audit department a place inside the company that gives a formal written agreement about the position of the company to management and the board. It is expected for an internal auditor to be independent in appearance and in the information that is provided when completing their job in the organization as it is reflected as a part of management. Objectivity is the auditor’s balanced approach with making sure that his work is not compromised and free from material conflict, if there are questions about an auditor’s independence and objectivity, it should be taken care when they arise. If there seems to be a weakness in the auditor’s independence and objectivity, it should be talked about with the CAE who reports it to the board and audit committee. Organizational Independence should be reinforced by the senior management, the audit committee and the board of directors and is more about whom the CAE reports to within the company, letting the internal audit do its role. Damage to an internal auditor department’s independence and objectivity will arise when there are restricted limits...

...APC X TOPMAN Bellow I shall be explaining why it would be a great idea for Topman to collaborate with A.P.C. A.P.C is well known for its minimalistic designs. Its clothing features clean lines and simple patterns. A.P.C will very rarely use logos. Its clothing tends to incorporate characteristics of military garments. When A.P.C first started to make clothes they where dubbed as “the French GAP”. Their clothes sometimes look a bit unisex , uniform-like , with coats and knitwear that do for males and females. One of the brands most popular products is its raw-denim selvedge jeans. Denim enthusiasts love A.P.C’S jeans as they are Japanese selvedge but are also slim cut and fashionable. The denim also fades quickly when used, allowing denim enthusiasts to achieve a lot of wear and fading quickly if they wish. TOPMAN Topman offer fashionable men’s clothing, ranging from informal indie – influenced casual styling ranges, along with footwear and fashion accessories. Over the recent years, Topman has collaborated with young designers such as Astrid Andersen , Kim jones , Peter Jensen and as well as launching its own premium label ‘ Topman design’. After showing seasonally to the menswear press arena, Topman joined forces with fashion East to produce ‘MAN’ a menswear event that takes place at the London fashion week , showcasing new menswear design as well as Topman Design collection. It would be a great idea for Topman to collaborate with A.P.C as it will increase value...

...Methods for Documenting Student Progress Strategies for Assessing and Keeping Records in the Classroom Documenting and keeping records of student progress through the use of rubrics, anecdotal records, and portfolios ensures well rounded grading practices. There are many methods for documenting student progress. There isn’t a single way that can be used for all subjects. Each subject, each assignment warrants its own method of grading or documentation depending on what the grade level expectation consists of. Using traditional grading methods, rubrics, portfolios and anecdotal records make for a wellrounded assessment practice. Using these assessment practices in combination allows for a better look at a student’s progress with standards. You will no doubt use traditional multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false type assessments but for those assessments that aren’t nearly as straightforward, other methods are necessary. Anecdotal Records Anecdotal records are a great way to document student behaviours and academic progress over time. They can be useful in diagnosing a student’s difficulty in a particular subject area or simply to show mastering of a standard. Traditionally the teacher will take brief notes on a student’s interactions within the classroom with subject matter and peers. By keeping such notes, the teacher has a point of reference for the planning of how instruction as well as an additional tool for communication to parents of their child's...

...The Catholic Church was an integral part of colonial Mexican life. The Spanish conquest led to the conversion of the indigenous populations, which then led to a blending of the Catholic tradition with that of the indigenous religions. Catholicism became a part of everyday life for the populations of colonial Mexico and because Catholicism is a hierarchal religious tradition, it reinforced the pre-existing social class structure within the Spanish kingdom. The minorities continued to be excluded from certain aspects of society, including religious positions and education. Both of which were greatly influenced areas of colonial society by the Catholic Church. The church was deeply involved in most, if not all aspects of colonial Mexican life including influencing politics, education, and other local social issues. The Spanish conquest of the Americas was one of great expansion in more ways than one. The Spanish crown not only added new areas of the world to their kingdom but simultaneously spread Christianity throughout this New World. The Catholic Church, a powerful institution in its own right, with the dedicated word of European missionaries, the growth of the religion led to the conversion of much of the indigenous populations in the Americas. The missionaries built missions and had haciendas that created environments in which the Catholic religion was a fundamental incorporation of life, so as to convert the indigenous population. The missionaries also built schools and...

...seen by the courts (B.6.a). I include ACA Code of Ethics C.2.e (2014) because I feel like her personal views are outweighing what her actual ethical duty of what is required to report to the court and consulting with a peer can help her work through that (ACA, 2014, A.4.b). The fact that she includes the sleeping arrangements in her report to the court concerns me as I feel that it has been taken out of context because of the multicultural aspect of the case. Unless it is stated in the evaluation as information needed to know, it is out of scope for what information is required for a custody evaluation. I also include ACA Code of Ethics E.13.a (2104) because it states that “Counselors form professional opinions based on their professional...

...of paper charting by allowing nurses to use check boxes, cell formatting, and computer databases to keep patients records more accessible and organized. As new forms of technology become available we find that there are often flaws that need to be assessed and corrected to properly implement an optimal computing system. The clinical integration paper examines the positive and negative aspects of electronic documentation in the nursing field as it pertains to time management, patient safety and its efficacy. It was found that nurses spend the largest proportion of their time at the nurses station documenting and coordinating patient’s care with twenty five to fifty percent, which results in less time spent on patient care (Blair & Smith, 2012). This is alarming knowing that approximately a quarter to half of a nurse’s shift is done sitting in front of a computer documenting the day’s events. At Central Baptist Hospital I believe that more than half a day could be taken up by computer charting. From what I have experienced, a nurse may begin their shift with anywhere between four to six patients. These patients require a general assessment upon arrival on shift followed by detailed documentation from their nurse. As a student it took roughly double the amount of time to enter an assessment into the computer, due to a new computer system I have never used. Once one is aware of the system it can be entered in half the allotted time. However with four to six patients’...

...The purpose of crime scene investigation is to help establish what happened (crime scene reconstruction) and to identify the responsible person. This is done by carefully documenting the conditions at a crime scene and recognizing all relevant physical evidence. The ability to recognize and properly collect physical evidence is oftentimes critical to both solving and prosecuting violent crimes. It is no exaggeration to say that in the majority of cases, the law enforcement officer who protects and searches a crime scene plays a critical role in determining whether physical evidence will be used in solving or prosecuting violent crimes. Documenting crime scene conditions can include immediately recording transient details such as lighting (on/off), drapes (open/closed), weather, or furniture moved by medical teams. Certain evidence such as shoeprints or gunshot residue is fragile and if not collected immediately can easily be destroyed or lost. The scope of the investigation also extends to considerations of arguments which might be generated in this case (suicide/self-defense) and documenting conditions which would support or refute these arguments. In addition, it is important to be able to recognize what should be present at a scene but is not (victim's vehicle/wallet) and objects which appear to be out of place (ski mask) and might have been left by the assailant. It is also important to determine the full extent of a crime scene. A crime scene is not merely the immediate area...

...Credits: http://eyeinfection.blogspot.sg/2011/11/gp-book-has-no-place-in-modern-society.html?m=1 Books are symbolic of learning, and the educated. For years now, having a home library was the luxury few could afford. The lucky few who had one were immeasurably proud of it, and rightly so. Today, not only are books beginning to lose the value that they once had in the eyes of Man, their place in society has been increasingly challenged by the newborns of the digital age. New trends such as the increasing pace of life, the accelerating rate at which new information is being pedalled forth, and the ubiquity of the effects of capitalism have driven people to become more efficient. The by-product of such phenomena is that Man is taken as its slave, and only the interests of the market are considered, instead of the individual. Unfortunately, this has dealt a severe blow to the significance of the book in modern society. All indicators seem to point out that the book is unworthy of its more efficient counterparts like the personal computer or tablet. Yet, the book holds a special place in our hearts: its final trump card. We should not be too quick to oust the book out of our lives even with the proliferation of suitable alternatives, for there is still indeed worth of the hard copy even in the frenzy of modern society. Evolution seems to have taken mankind back to square one, where the modern man (like his ancestors thousands of years ago) worries about his next meal, appointment...

...were appointed for many centuries. One of the very few surviving texts written by women was from a martyr named Perpetua. She was a young women who documented her own struggles, as well as the struggles of another woman and acquaintance named Felicitas. She recorded their fight and strong efforts of living out their faith, expecting a child, as well as their days in prison that led up to her death. Perpetua's diary-like inscriptions of her personal life is now very important and useful in obtaining a glimpse into what it might have been like for women of this era, as well as what her goal was in trying to persuade her audience. The manner in which Perpetua documents the events that lead to her death ostensibly hint at what her purpose in documenting her time was in the first place. Perpetua's calm and collected nature of writing is meant to motivate other Christians at this time to proclaim and stand firm in their Christian beliefs. The Roman Empire, reigning for nearly five hundred years and through the life of Christ, played a significant role in the establishment of Christianity in the later years of the empire. Before Christianity was installed as the official religion, it was mocked and dismissed by many. The Roman Empire, for hundreds of years, never swayed in their religious beliefs. The Romans had a highly sophisticated, developed religious system of worshipping the Roman gods so on the other hand, the minority who followed Christ, or practiced...
