Ethos!

      Ethos is equal to credibility. So in Doc2 we need to show credibility, we tent to believe people whom we respect. In a argumentation paper we need to project an impression to the reader that we are someone worth listening to, it is like making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper. Also, ethos is often the first thing we notice, so again, it creates the first impression that influences how we perceive the rest. Having this piece of description about ethos we can understand a little more about it.
    This mean that when we are doing our reseach for Doc2 or any paper we need to look for creadible source from places on the web, books, library or a person that we can trusth. Basically we need that extra help of information in our papers to back up our argumentation. We need to impress and make others like or interest what we are writing about.
Good luck!!

Struggling a little!

Doc 2 it haven't been easy to put together. Its a good topic, we are related with it, since is about the degree we are pursuing. It might be easy for some, but for others like me its difficult. Having the information that you have do research on, and them putting it all together it is not easy. I want my paper to make sense and that others understand it. Unfortunately writing papers is not my strong, so its challenging making this papers. I get a little anxious and it feels like its not working out, but I try my best and I put a lot of effort, because more than having or getting a good grade, I want to learn and practice for futures assignments.
I want it to say this because I know I'm not the only one struggling with Doc2.

Peer Review, Doc2

Today we are getting ready to start the peer evaluation. Its going to be fun, well I think so. Its just a little difficult for me evaluate papers from other, because I dont like putting critics, I dont like that people think I am mean, because I put comments in there papers. But if there something we need to be aware is that this process of peer evaluation it important for us. Having suggestions from other makes our paper better, or at least we have others opinions that we can include in our paper. Lets just enjoy this Doc2 since is a topic that we all know. Remeber we just want to help you giving you extra ideas and what can be fix in your paper, also we are not the professor and we not going to give you the grade, so dont worry about it. :)
Have fun!!

Issue in Nursing!

    The purpose of this Doc2 is to find an issue in the area that we are persuing our degree. I personally going to talk about understaffing nurses in medical field. As we all know or most of us know, there is a couple or I should say, multiple issues in the nursing/medical field and we have to look for credible research about that issue.
    Unfortunately nurses nowdays are going to a lot of pressure in the work are. They are confronting a great amount of patients in a day and their having a big issue, what is that issue? "nurse understaffing". This problem lead to stress, which is not good for your health, especially when working with patients at a hospital. I will explain more in details in my Doc2

More about Doc2!

I am excited about this Doc2, more than that we have the opportunity to choose the topic related on the Degree that we are pursuing, more specific we have to choose an issue. My degree is in Nursing and in that area are many issues that nurses confront everyday, I don't work in a medical field now so I am not related or too informed with what is going on, I used to work in a medical office around 6 years ago and I am pretty sure things has change dramatically since then, well I believe that things in this world change constantly, especially in medical field. But fortunately I have a couple of people that work in the field and any questions I can ask them. Overall this topic is going to be fun and for sure we are going to learn a lot from it and is a plus that almost all of us the degree pursuing is Nursing.

Poor or Good Evidence

There are a couple of types of evidence when doing a reaserch for a paper. One is when you do interviews, experiments, surveys or personal experiences. The other one is information that you get from other sources like, websites, books and periodicals. It does not matter where you get the information from, it most be credible, accurate and trustworthy. When we search information on website, we need to be really careful, anybody can write fake stuff on internet, so we need to look for credible sources and how we do that, ask questions like, Who is the author? How recent is the source? What is the author purpose? and again when evaluating Internet sources, never use Web sites when the author can be determined, those are not good if we are researching information for a document. Knowing this simple steps, then we know how poor or good the evidence in our paper will be.

Doc2

I know we dont have any information for Doc 2, but I am going to just talk about my expectations and what I wan to achive in this paper. To begin, It might not be the same topic, I hope not, that way we have the opportunity to look, search and do more reaserch about the new topic. One advantage about having a new topic is that we will learn new information which is good for us. Also we have the oportunity to read our classmates post about the Doc 2 and have different ideas, also we can see their points of view, which I enjoy reading because we all have differents things to say about one topic. Today we will start with the document and I am looking foward to it. Hopefuly I learn a lot, which I know I will and see what the outcomes would be.
