Module 04 Written Assignment – Persuasive Paper, First Draft
Because good writing is always a process, our persuasive essay will
be written in two parts: a first draft due this week and a final draft
due in week 6. Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length.
As you prepare, here are a few reminders for this week’s draft:
- In week 3 you posted a thesis for peer review. Use the revised
thesis, based on your classmates’ and teacher’s feedback as the basis
for your persuasive paper.
- Use your sources to support your thesis. Research and prepare the
passages you will consider using. Remember to review methods of
paraphrasing, summarizing, and using direct quotations.
- Prepare the body paragraphs by deciding where to place supporting
information. Remember, each paragraph of the paper should act to build
the momentum of the argument.
- Apply pathos, logos, and ethos whenever possible.
- Finally, remember that it’s okay if your ideas, opinions, or sources
change during process of writing this paper. Writing makes us think,
and it’s fine – even beneficial – to have our thoughts change as we
express them on paper.
Module 04 Reflection – Professional, Social, and Personal Writing Discussion post
What are the distinctions between professional, social, and personal
writing? Do you have a different approach for each? Do you see yourself
as strong in one or two areas but needing work in another?
Module 04 Written Assignment – Contamination Risk and Prevention
There are several supplies available for use when compounding a
sterile product, and each one has special handling requirements to
prevent contamination. Knowing the differences between these supplies
and being familiar with their components and their required handling are
the only ways to ensure contamination does not occur.
Conduct research on the contamination risks associated with
inappropriate use of sterile compounding supplies and not working within
the zone of turbulence.
- What types of contamination can occur?
- How can contamination be avoided when compounding sterile preparations?
Write a 2-page paper using APA format. Remember to cite your
research. You will be scored on your grammar and organization as well,
so be sure and spend time revising before submitting.
Module 04 Discussion – Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance has been described as one of the greatest
threats for the future of our population. Now that you have watched the
Modern Marvels video detailing the history behind these wonder drugs and
where we stand today, it is time for you to debate the most appropriate
way of tackling this increasing problem.
Research what antibiotic resistance is, how it develops, and how it spreads.
Answer the following questions:
- Why do pharmacy clinics and workers need to concern themselves with antibiotic resistance?
- Why is it important we work to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance?
- What could happen?
- Finally, how do we “fix” this problem and what can you do as a pharmacy technician?
