Assignment: Reflection Each week, you will submit a 2 page (500-700 words) reflection on one of the works assigned for the week. Begin by briefly explaining what you believe the reading is about, then analyze and reflect on 2-4 ideas reading them closely (using direct quotations to ground the reading when possible) and analytically (explained, reflected on, related to other texts, commented on, etc), and conclude with summarizing your main point(s). Think of this as a 5-paragraph essay with introduction, 3 paragraphs that discuss a sub-idea each, and a conclusion. Refer to Academic Paper Guide & Rubric for more details on preparing papers.i Each student will submit a total of 10 reflections, being exempted from a reflection on the critic you are presenting. This is worth 20% of the grade, with the lowest 3 grades dropped. Read or watch the assigned text carefully, focusing on the theme of medicine as discussed in class, and guided by the questions in the syllabus on how to approach out texts. Your paper should be focused and specific to details of text than a general reflection on the text as a whole. No sources are needed other than our class discussions. As will all academic writing, this must be cohesive with a clear thesis statement in your introductory paragraph, a development of paragraphs that link to the thesis statement, and a conclusion. See Sample Reflection, and find rough outline below: 1. Introduction: this includes the following, not necessarily in this order: full title of text, full name of author, main idea you wish to focus on. Any subsequent usage of authors’ names is limited to last name only. If title of text is long, you may also choose 1-2 representative words if referred to later in the reflection. Sample: In Fefu and Her Friends (full title, underlined or in italics as this is a novel), Maria Irene Fornes (full name of author) creates a setup that departs from our general expectations of theatrical productions. Though the first act is typical of other plays in its formation and arrangement, the second act splits the scene into four parts, forcing the readers to shift their attention as required by the set. This leaves us perplexed as to the meaning of this fragmentation in the set and whether it connects to a bigger theme that Fornes (use last name only in future references to author) is trying to present here. Familiarity with Fornes may naturally lead the reader to believe that this fragmented presentation of Act II is a reflection of the fragmented nature of the women she is presenting on stage (main idea). 2. Body: Three to five paragraphs explaining your main point, choosing one example (of the fragmentation of the characters, for example, as presented above; or of the fragmented setup) to support your main idea. Quotes are necessary here, but the bulk of this depends on a brief summary of each of these main ideas, supported by a few short quotes. Ensure your own ideas and reflections are apparent here and do not rely strongly on summaries of events. Each paragraph needs to start with an opening statement and a concluding one. 3. Conclusion: reflect on your essay, briefing on what you explained, and ending with a final thought. You can use one of these to start this final thought: I believe there are other strengths …, This may also open a discussion into …, My reflection might be the result of …, or any other similar variations. i If more help is needed, plan a visit to the Writing & Tutoring Center, and/or consult Excerpts from The Little Seagull Handbook, for help with the writing process, developing paragraphs, giving presentations, planning arguments, and literary analysis, and Excerpts from Reading the World, for help structuring ideas, introductions, thesis, transitions, and conclusions

Reflection on Nursing and Tracing Med Students through Cancer Patients
Cancer, among other palliative care issues, remains a critical issue in healthcare. An interview with Albert Blake, as observed in the article "A Letter to a Young Female Physician," is an intriguing observation and breath-taking moment. By introducing leukemia into the scene, with withered arms and an ashen face, Mr. Blake seems older than his age. This issue brings up our attention to the concept of cancer patients. Blake was sick and withered. In an interview with Mr. Blake, we expect a string of questions relating to compassion and care. As a nursing student, there is a need to assess the declining needs of the patient, as observed by Suzanne Koven in her article. Suzanne's description of her experience at St. Johns Hopkins reflects worries nurses would encounter during cancer patient evaluations. However, she is strong enough, considerably empathetic, and compassionate in this case. As a nursing student, a medical career would seem like a dangerous park without the passion and thrill of serving. The commitment includes using new props and costumes, just like that of actors, in a clinical setting.
One of the major concerns in the evaluation is analyzing the clinical symptoms and relating them to signs such as double vision, ear pain, headaches, and bloody noses. Such signs may relate dramatically to a particular condition and therefore require specific and analytical evaluation to help therapeutic management through evidence-based care. While interviewing, you must assess and link your medical understanding and relate its importance to the condition in question. Clinical skil...
