Essay II: Poetry
Assignment: Choose from any of the poetry we have read in class. Analyze the poem in depth
for your essay, being sure to include an argumentative thesis statement and textual evidence. You
will use your own close reading of the text to construct this essay — no outside research is to be
used.
Please do the following:
● Create a question about the text in relation to your topic and use your analysis to answer
that question. (Question need not be stated in the actual essay; use it as a starting point)
● Develop an argumentative thesis statement that clearly establishes your essay topic and
stance.
● Organize the essay around your argument in order to enhance a reader’s understanding of
the text.
● Use literary terminology and in your analysis when applicable.
You are free to develop your own topic on this essay, so please feel free to follow whatever topic
has interested you most in class. Here are some questions to consider as you explore and develop
your topic:
● What is the meaning of the poem?
○ Remember to go beyond the obvious. Saying that Emily Dickinson’s poem “Title
Divine is Mine” is about marriage is obvious and is not an argument.
■ Instead, think about what the poem is saying about that topic, or what
attitude it has toward the topic, and how it’s delivered for a more focused
analysis.
● How is the meaning of this poem conveyed?
○ How does the poet deliver the meaning of the poem? What devices and
techniques are employed? To what ends?
● What’s the weirdest, strangest, most confusing or mysterious part of the poem?
○ Sit in this moment. Just pointing out a confusing moment in a poem is not an
argumentative analysis, but providing clarity or making an argument for how the
poem should be interpreted is an argument.
● Do you notice any repetitions or emphases of concept or image, any pairings and
contrasts? What is the effect?
● What symbols or images are used in the poem? To what ends? What is significant about
the poem’s symbolism/imagery?
● How should the poem be interpreted?
Purpose: Produce an interesting and detailed analysis of a poem. Pose an interesting, complex,
significant reading of your chosen poem using textual evidence to support your argumentative
analysis.
Format: Standard MLA Style (8 th Edition). Double-spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman Font, 1”
margins, MLA works cited page.
Research: None. Please do not use any research for this assignment. Rely on your own critical
thinking and interpretive skills.
Length: 3-4 pages double-spaced, not including Works Cited page; roughly 750-1000 words.
Due Date: The essay is due in the Canvas “Essay I” submission box at 8:00 am on Monday,
November 11th. You must also turn in a print copy. I will accept papers during my office hours
of 9:30-12:00 on Wednesday, November 13th with no late penalty. If your paper is not both
submitted to Canvas and turned in in print to me by the end of my office hours, it may be
subject to a late submission penalty.
You will receive a grade and written feedback on the paper copy of your essay you submit to me.
These comments will be useful in your future writing in this class, especially if you choose to
revise this essay later in the semester for your Revised Essay assignment. See Grading Rubric for
more information on evaluative criteria.
Additional Guidelines:
● Develop a clear, focused thesis that explicitly indicates your proposed interpretation of
the poem.
● You may need to provide a very brief summary to support your point, but you are not
writing a summary. Focus on analysis.
● For poetry, cite line numbers instead of page numbers. If you reference a word/phrase in
the third line, for example, cite it with “quotation” (Author 3).
○ (Exception: for Whitman, use both section and line number. For example, the
third line of section five would be 5.3; the fifteenth through seventeenth lines of
section 39 would be 39.15-17. Use page numbers for Citizen ).
● Use / to show line breaks when including quotations in your essay. For example: “You do
not do, you do not do / Any more, black shoe / In which I have lived like a foot” (Plath
1-3).
● Use present tense when discussing literature.
● Be sure to include the poem and the author you are using in the introduction of your
essay in addition to your thesis statement.
● Always be sure to “unpack” your quotations and to provide proper documentation. All
quotes used as support must be adequately explained, developed, and cited. A quote
cannot stand alone in an essay.
● Do not use first- or second-person pronouns. When it comes to a personal interpretation
of fiction, you are the authority; however, phrases that begin with “I believe” and “I
think” detract from your authority and familiarity with the text and make your
interpretation look like simple personal opinion rather than informed, supported analysis.
● A works cited page in 8 th Edition MLA is required.
Developing a topic / questions to consider as you interpret your poem:
● What poem are you writing about?
○ Which details or aspects of this poem will you be focusing on? (Ex: Symbols,
word choice, etc.)
■ Can you easily point out these details?
■ Can you explain their significance? What do they mean?
■ What are these details doing ? What is their purpose in the poem?
● How do these details contribute to the poem’s larger meaning?
○ What is the poem’s larger meaning?
○ Why are these details and the poem’s larger meaning so
important for a reader to understand? What is at stake?
● As you study poetry, any time you think “________ might be saying/mean _______”
you’ve already developed a hypothesis — change your wording to a statement and you
have the beginnings of an argument: “____________ is saying/ does mean __________”
● Any time you’re able to identify something like a symbol, and image, or an interesting
contrast, etc., within a poem, even if you’re not entirely sure what that detail is doing or
what it means, you can use it as a starting point for an argument. What is that detail doing
in your interpretation of the poem?

Quality Healthcare: Measuring NP Performance.

/in /by

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) (https://www.ncqa.org/)
It was formed to ensure quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:
– Effectiveness of Care.
– Access/Availability of Care.
– Experience of Care.
– Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization.
– Health Plan Descriptive Information.
– Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems
(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/)

As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients and has a method of measuring quality of care.
You are now employed as an FNP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care. List and discuss three different patient interventions and how you would specifically measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure. How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice? How can these interventions result in improved patient ratings?
(You need to go to the website and click on HEDIS measures. That will take you to the domains of care. If you click on the plus sign in the domain of care, you will find the performance measures. You can choose a performance measure and then think about what interventions would allow you to measure that performance measure. The interventions are not listed in the website, you would need to think of those yourself.)

Directions:
Read the case study below and analyze the roles and responsibilities of all the members of an inter-professional team and apply those to a case study below. Additionally, explain how occupational therapists (OT) particularly are incorporated in the scenario explains the current professional role of OT plays a role in the IP team for this scenario.

One page should be in essay form, the second page should be a Lucidchart.

Use the following references for your analysis:
• Website: Florida Board of Athletic Training:http://floridasathletictraining.gov/resources/
• Document: Florida Board of Nursing: Nurse Practice Act (PDF)
• Document: Board of Physical Therapy Practice Laws and Rules (PDF)

Case Study
You are employed at Johnson Ranch which is a camp established by Dr. Mitchel Johnson.
The purpose of the camp is to provide intensive, medically-monitored 12-week weight loss programs for obese and super obese adults in Orlando, Florida. The camp guarantees that campers will have “considerable” weight loss during the program. While the camp is owned and operated by a physician, he is rarely present on the campgrounds. He insists that medial issues are managed on the campus grounds.
The leadership staff of the camp is composed of 4 athletic trainers, a nurse practitioner and a health care administrator. There are several physical and occupational therapists on staff as well as mental health practitioners.

One of your campers is Susanne Jones.
• She is 30 years old
• She is 5’ 4” and weighs 350lbs
• She has a history of diabetes and hypertension
• She also has a history of depression
• Prior to attending the camp, she tried Weight Watcher ® and Jenny Craig® without success
• She shared that she has not been “into exercise”
• Due to her size and activity tolerance, she has difficulty with self-care
• She smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day
• She denies alcohol use.
Two weeks into the camp stay, Susanne Jones suffered a left knee “strain”. This has led to her not participating in any weight loss programming events. While she has no edema, she complains of pain when she runs. She is no longer compliant with her dietary restrictions and is seen walking to her car frequently for “smoke breaks”. She is not interested in discontinuing the program and has approached the camp leadership several times about her weight loss “guarantee” requesting her money back.

As a healthcare team, create an evidence-based plan to address Ms. Jones’ weight loss plan Refer to Florida’s Practice Act for
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Registered nurse/nurse practitioner
• Mental health practitioner
• Athletic training
• Health care administrator
Utilize the National Guideline Clearinghouse to locate a clinical practice guideline on the treatment of obesity.

For page 2 create a Lucidchart diagram for the case study. The Lucidchart should show you made a good effort to research the roles and took the time to understand each scope of practice of all the professionals/personnel involved in the case study provided, clearly, explain your viewpoint and how you analyzed the case study. It should delineate each person’s individual role in this case and how these roles would interact to respond to the scenario and how they would work inter-professionally in an effort to result in the best possible outcome for the patient.

Referencing: As you complete this assessment, be sure to reference the resources used to support your decisions for this case study. In order to do so, you should reference within your Lucidchart using standard in-text citations in APA format. For example, (Perry, 2018). Then, attach a reference list page in APA format, just like you would any other paper.”

215LON Financial Planning & Revenue Management for Hospitality & Tourism

Coursework 2 Case Study

The Woods is a 150-room resort hotel just 25 miles from Central London.  Facilities include an 18-hole golf course, spa with 12 treatment rooms, 2 restaurants and 2 bars, and extensive meeting and event space.

The hotel is currently owned & operated by the Woods family which began the property’s development 6 years ago and opened the business in 2017.  The hotel attracts a mix of local members, business and leisure customers.

 

The hotels budgeted average room rate is £312 with an average spend per day from hotel guests of £75 and £90 for spa and golf per person

The hotel’s current organization structure is shown below

Historically the Executive Committee above have collaborated in the setting of room rates, but Brenda is now considering hiring in a revenue manager.

Your task

Answer the following questions making sure to reference academic journal articles and current trade journals. Include a reference list at the end.

There are calculations required in this assessment. Where required please show calculations and formulae in appendices and results in the main body of work

WORD COUNT: 2000

Question 1

Discuss the roles, responsibilities and reporting line of the Revenue Manager.  Evaluate how the Revenue Manager might determine a competitive set for this property. (450 words)

Question 2

Discuss how the scope of the Revenue Manager’s role is likely to extend past the Rooms Department in this property.  (350 words)

Question 3

The hotel’s owners think that there are opportunities to join a brand or consortium.  Discuss the benefits and challenges of the hotel working with a global brand or consortium. (450 words)

Question 4

Among the concerns the owners have is in maintaining ethical practices in setting prices and revenue management.  Assess the areas where ethics in revenue management may arise. (250 words)

Question 5

Historically the property has not worked much with OTA’s preferring to work closely with direct bookings and specialist travel agents.

There are gaps in mid-week (Tuesdays & Wednesdays) in February and March 2020. (8 weeks)

As of October 2019, there are 50 rooms on the books each Tuesday & Wednesday during this period @ £310 per night with 50% double occupancy.  Fixed costs are £40 per night. For these full rated customers variable costs are £20 per guest.  These guests are expected to spend the additional £70 on f&b and £90 on sports & spa per person.  Estimate a 5% commission on these rooms.

There are 2 options to push the occupancy up

  1. A series of corporate meetings with 80 rooms at £220 single occupancy (net of commission), with £100 on f&b and £20 on sports & spa spend per person
  2. Opening the business up to OTA’s with an attractive mid-week room rate of £290 based on double occupancy. Expected f&b spend is £50 on f&b and £75 on sports & spa per person.  The commission on OTA booked rooms is 20%

Create a table outlining the options and their profitability.  You will need to estimate the number of rooms coming through OTA’s for this option to be realistic.

Explain the benefits and challenges of working with OTA’s.  (350 words) 

Question 6

Both the brand and consortium that the Woods is considering joining has recommended some additional investment in the property’s rooms.

The Woods family is looking at the refurbishment in the following detail.

Capital investment £18,000,000

Profit required after tax 30%

Tax rate 25%

The interest payable on the loan taken to pay for the work will be £2,000,000

Other non-operating expenses will be £500,000

Fixed costs will be £1,750,000

Variable costs per occupied room will be £50 per room

Operating income from F&B is expected to be £1,000,000 and from no-rooms departments £1,500,000

What will the additional room rate that we need to charge do we need to charge to achieve the required return on investment for a year with occupancy of 75%?  Use the Hubbart room rate formula and show calculations.  What if occupancy were 90%?

Explain why the Hubbart formula works well here.  (150 words)

How did these factors shape the policy history, and how decisively?

HISTORY 172B

TERM PAPER:  The Health Security Act  of 1993  as Policy History

One valuable feature of this course is that through the writing of a research paper you will instantly become an expert on the history of a current public policy, national health care policy.  This will qualify you to better understand (and lecture others on) the nature of the issue, the politics around it, a century of past policy efforts on it, and how history shaped your current policy, the Affordable Care Law (and, of course, the continuing efforts of political opponents to undo it). This sheet offers further direction on the assignment and some ideas on writing to help you convey the expertise you build in the most persuasive manner.

  1. TASK – Write an 1800 word (roughly seven to eight page) paper explaining the defeat of the effort to make a national health care policy in 1993-94.

Want more prompting?   One way to turn a simple question into a more intriguing historical challenge is to do what you’re doing with each policy history we are examining: set the issue in its historical context to see what was propelling it at the time.  For example (and you are welcome to take this as the prompt for your essay):

In the early 1990s polls regularly identified medical care access and coverage as the primary public policy concern of Americans.  Yet a high-priority Presidential initiative, drawing upon the nation’s “best and brightest” health policy minds and attentive to concerns of key “stakeholders” was thwarted in its effort to make policy.  Analyze and explain that:  why and how, despite public demand, was national health care policy thwarted in 1993-94?

Another tactic for focusing your assignment is to respond to what others have emphasized in explanation of the policy. For example, you are welcome to respond more closely to one of the interpretations that follow:

– Some scholars stressed the circumstances surrounding the issue as decisive in stopping any health care policy in the 1990s.   How did the historical context  — the “structured contingencies” in historian Charles Rosenberg’s argument, or “the background conditions that pushed the probability of success in one direction or another” in Hugh Heclo’s view – shape the 1993-4 Health Security Act  effort and its outcome?  What in the context was most important, and how decisive was the context in determining the history of the policy:  that is, was the context so powerful  — and how was it so powerful — that it was decisive in thwarting policy reform? 

– Your REMEDY AND REACTION author Paul Starr, who participated in the Clinton policy commission, has pointed out that one prominent line of interpretation of the HSA’s failure identifies the policy’s own advocates (the Administration and reformers) as most responsible for the demise.  Analyze that: Is that right? How were they decisive, and how decisive were they?  What did they do (or not do) in their policy processes and tactics, policy decisions, and presenting their ideas — that determined the course of the policy’s history?

– Other historians (like Michael Katz, Colin Gordon) argue that what made the HSA “dead on arrival” was less due to policy advocates’ strategies and more due to the effect of previous & existing policies, the existing pattern of provision of health insurance, and private interests’ aims and strategies.  Analyze that: How did these factors shape the policy history, and how decisively?  

Per the syllabus, the paper is due seven short weeks from now on November 25. The paper must include citations/notes to your sources and a bibliography.

  1. THE SOURCES –  Draw your evidence from your assigned book REMEDY AND REACTION, and articles and sources I have posted on the History 172B Gauchospace page [or in 172B TERM PAPER READER, if class chooses]. Use and reference at least three of these sources.  It is not necessary to go beyond the sources provided, though if you have found further sources that you would like to pull in to your history, they may be acceptable with my PRIOR APPROVAL (and ONLY with prior approval, at least 2 weeks prior to due date; you must bring them to class or my office hours for review).  It is not necessary to dig into primary sources – that is, participants’ or first person observers’ reports — for this paper, though you are welcome to do so and will find some key examples among the Gauchospace sources.

      Cite your sources in the paper.  Use endnotes or footnotes to cite authority for statements you make in the text when the idea or information is not your own.  You should cite opinions, original arguments, and unique facts as well as direct quotations.  To get a sense of when to foot- or endnote, look at the use of notes in the course readings (see for example RAILROADED, IMPOSSIBLE SUBJECTS or REMEDY AND REACTION).  For note style and further rules on noting, consult Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers (Univ. of Chicago Press, latest edition, online).

  1. THINK ANALYTICALLY – This assignment asks you to write an analytical essay

explaining the history of this policy.  The key to analysis is asking and answering questions:  How did context, or reformers’ decisions, or prior policy (or the weather, or bears…) affect the  policymaking in 1993?  (Start with the prompt and/or alternate questions in the TASK paragraph above).  Starr’s book REMEDY AND REACTION is a good example of an analytical history, organizing the history by chapters that introduce and explain particular factors in particular periods.  Think critically, too:  For example, it may be a group’s concern for other issues, or for increasing its political power, or for gaining some other anticipated political results rather than the provision of health care policy, that guided the intentions and policy aims of participants.   Be sure your argument (the paper’s thesis) is declared clearly in your introduction to the essay.
