Use the same experience one but paraphrase it.
Description of essay :
Your essay should be approxmately 1500 words (7 double spaced typed pages) or a
maximum of 6 pages, not including the reference page.
At least 5 academic references should be included. Academic references are
scholarly books, journals, authoritative web sites. Use APA style for the in-text citation
and the reference section at the end of the paper. Not all sources from the Internet
may be considered as one of the 7 references. Internet sources that are acceptable
include:
• Articles in peer-reviewed journals that are available electronically through the
library
• Government documents
Since other sources from the Internet are variable in quality, they will be considered
supplementary to the 5 required references, and will not count as one of them. If you
are not certain of the acceptability of one or more of your sources from the web, check
with your tutorial leader. A part of this exercise is to learn to use academic articles, so
that your essay and term paper draw on sources that have been peer reviewed and
meet current social science standards. Newspaper and magazine articles are
considered supplementary and should be used judiciously.
Develop the list of references on which you will base your paper well in advance to
ensure they are of acceptable quality and you will not be left at the last minute with
references that are unacceptable.
Initial paragraph
Describe the experience you used to identify the topic of your paper. For example: GO THROUGH MY OUTLINE BUT
KINDLY PARAPHRASE IT.
At the end of this paragraph you should have a sentence or two that clearly identifies
what issue you will be discussing in your essay.
Second paragraph
Discuss the points that you will be raising in your essay, how you will be raising them
and some of the main actors. To continue with the example above:
“I will look at how doctors and nurses are trained by discussing curriculum in medical
and nursing schools with people teaching in these schools. In addition, since most
doctors are men and most nurses are women, I will also be looking at the power
relationships between men and women. Finally, I will examine the provincial
regulations that describe the different functions of the two professions.”
Next paragraphs
This is the body of your essay. In these paragraphs you will discuss the three points
that you identified above: training of doctors and nurses, how men and women relate
in general, provincial regulations that govern the two professions.
Concluding paragraphs
The idea here is to summarize what you have presented and then to draw
conclusions based on that material. For example:
“In general, when men and women are working in the same environment men tend to
be more aggressive and women tend to be more passive, even when there is no
difference in their knowledge or abilities. Therefore, when there is an argument
women will usually give into men. Medical training teaches doctors to be assertive and
to be team leaders, while nursing training tends to emphasize caring and a more
cooperative relationship. When the two professions work together doctors tend to
assume that they will be the leaders and nurses are willing to defer to the doctors.
This relationship is reinforced by regulations governing the nursing profession that
state that nurses are not allowed to diagnose or treat, these are only functions that
doctors can do. Therefore, especially when it is a question of either diagnosis or
treatment nurses are even more likely to give in.
