Technically Writing

Part 1:

For this discussion, you will post your proposed outline for your final paper. This outline should include a rough idea of the topic and thesis statement, and what points you want to write about. You also need to list 2-3 sources which you are considering using. Remember, you must choose a topic which is relevant to nursing and/or healthcare. 

Your final paper must meet the below requirements. Keep these in mind as you craft your outline for it:

Topic: Socialized Healthcare 

Thesis: To eliminate the many inefficiencies that come with entrusting health care to the private sector, the country should nationalize health care to make the government the sole provider. 

• Main Point 1: Profit driven medicine 
• Main Point 2: Access to healthcare as a basic right.  
• Main Point 3: Shared clinical responsibility for patients’ care and streamlining care. 
• Potential sources:

Part 2: Assignment Instructions

Now that you’ve read about Peer Reviewing Technical Writing, it’s time to put those concepts to use! 

IMPORTANT: You’ll notice that “Page 2” of this week’s reading has you download a sample copy of a peer review letter. You’ll want to refer to that as your template for this worksheet. 

Once you have reviewed the peer review sample document in your reading as noted above, check out this crazy sample of a confusing piece of technical writing:

http://www.impactonthenet.com/rg-m1.html

This is the document you, be offering peer feedback on (the warhead storage instructions).  

Use the format of the peer review sample (making up any information that you don’t have, such as names and emails). You’ll notice that the document you, be offering suggestions about is short–don’t let that stop you! Remember that you can not only point out areas for improvement, but also note why those areas are problematic and how they can be improved. 

Your document should: 

• Be 12 pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced. 

Include 3-4 suggestions, each a paragraph in length (with a minimum of 3 sentences per paragraph).
