Why is the date of publication important?2. Relevance: How significant is the information in the resource to the topic? Is there a direct coalition to the subject matter? Is the source a primary or secondary source? What makes the source appropriate for an academic paper?3. Authority: What makes the source credible? What is the publishing body? What are the authors’ credentials? Provided info on both.4. Accuracy: Was the source peer-reviewed (how do you know?)? Were sources cited in the work? What makes the source reliable?5. Purpose: Why was this source created? What is its original intent (inform? persuade? entertain?). Did you notice any particular agenda or bias in the source?Please use specific examples and cite your sources in APA format. Sometimes, we have to do extra research on the authors or publishing bodies. Those sources should be cited as well.Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Here, we have an opportunity to compare research notes with our fellow peers. Help your peers by composing a signal phrase based on the source’s credentials. Example The signal phrase should include the author (or article title if no author is noted), date of publication, statement of credibility, an interesting verb choice, a cited quote or paraphrase — all in one complete sentence!1 Dr. Seuss (2 2013) 3 renown author of numerous and beloved children’s books, 4 queries, 5 “Do you like green eggs and ham?” (p. 8).

When we begin preparing rebuttals later this term, knowing potential points of weakness and predicting what our opposition may question is key. Remember, the goal here is to find multiple perspectives, but those perspectives should be both professional and respectful. Ask questions to keep the conversation going.Note: If you see that someone has already received feedback from two peers, please choose to help a peer who has yet to obtain feedback.Writing Requirements· Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up)· Initial Post Length: minimum of 3 college-level paragraphs· APA format for in-text citations and list of referencesGrading

This activity will be graded using the Con-Position Paper Grading Rubric.THE TEMPLATE: Title in Upper and Lower CaseYour NameChamberlain College of NursingCourse Number: Course NameTerm Month and Year
Title of your Paper in Upper and Lower Case (Centered, not Bold)Type your introduction here and remove the instructions.. The introduction should begin with an attention grabber and end with your working thesis statement. Remember to employ an objective tone by applying only 3rd person point of view (no 1st: I, me, my, we, our, us, mine) or 2nd: you, your person point of view). ContextBegin to type the body of your paper here. Use as many paragraphs as needed to cover the content appropriately. As noted in the Lecture’s outline, the context section should include potential qualifiers, and definitions. It is essentially background information that provides your audience with the context needed to understand your claim. 1st Con-PointBegin with a topic sentence written in your own words that presents your grounds. Next, apply the evidence/warrant. Signal phrases are highly recommended to introduce new sources (ex: According to Dr. John Smith, head physician at the Mayo Clinic…). Cite your sources in APA format via parenthetical citations. Follow through with a few sentences examining the evidence and connecting it back to your main point. Strive for a minimum of 5 developed sentences in a college level paragraph. Remember to refer back to the outline in our Week 2 Lesson if you need to review the structure of the paper. Repeat this process for your 2nd and 3rd Con-Points, dedicating a paragraph to each. ConclusionPapers should end with a conclusion. Unpack your thesis (do not copy/paste it) and apply a concluding technique. It should be concise and contain no new detail. No matter how much space remains on the page, the references always start on a separate page.References (centered, not bold)Type your references in alphabetical order here using hanging indents. See your APA Manual and the resources in your APA folder in Course Resources for reference formatting.
