n order to help you pace yourselves on your Final Major Paper, I’m asking you each to review two scholarly articles this week. You would help yourself out quite a bit by choosing two articles which you plan to also use for your Major Paper.

Since I have already approved your topic choice for your Major Paper, you should already have a good idea of what types of articles you need. Please remember, your best bet is to use the APUS Online Library to help you find scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles: Articles taken directly from non-peer reviewed websites (Wikipedia, News websites, etc…) are NOT acceptable for either this paper or for your Major Paper.

THIS ASSIGNMENT CONTAINS 7 PARTS. PLEASE COMLETE IT WITH REFERECES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU.

Journaling provides a valuable tool for recording, reflecting on, and reviewing your learning. This approach provides an opportunity for you to “connect the dots” and observe the relationships between and among activities, interactions, and outcomes.

Unlike a personal journal of thoughts and feelings, this Leadership Journal is a record of your activities, assessments, and learning related to this academic experience.

Journal entries should include a record of the number of hours spent with your nurse leader each week.

Part – 1- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of power, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 1-2.
Identify your given “power” at your workplace or in your professional life. What is your greatest contribution in the lives of others?
Find three people with whom you interact professionally and ask them to affirm the influence you bring to their lives. How and why did you choose the individuals? What pearls of wisdom did they share that you had not considered?
Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Power” video.
Part- 2- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of authority, including the following:

Part – 3- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of purpose, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 5-6.
Describe how your nurse leader’s leadership style affects the people the nurse leads. Do staff members express feelings of support and helpfulness? Are there examples of leading rather than dictating? Did the leader say or do things designed to “build up” staff or were there missed opportunities?
Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Rule” video
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
Part – 4- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of provision, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 7-8.
Describe how your nurse leader influences the work environment. Consider how influence protects and values others in the work environment.
Identify two or more ways your own leadership could promote a feeling of protection and honor in your work environment.
Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Headship” video.
Part -5- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of serving, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 9-10.
Would your co-workers or those you “serve” consider you responsible for some aspect of their success? Describe a situation where you were able to assist another nurse with achieving a professional goal.
Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Servant” video.
Part – 6 – Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of example, including the following:

Part – 7- Write a journal entry of 750-1,500 words on the subject of humility, including the following:

Provide observations and thoughts on the activities in Weeks 13-14.
Describe an interaction or decision point this semester in which your nurse leader demonstrated humility or a missed opportunity to promote the success of others.
Summarize your practicum experience with your nurse leader. What insight into your own leadership style were you able to see? What do you believe was the most important thing you learned in this experience?
Utilizing servant leadership principles outline a plan to improve your own success as a leader. Identify specific steps you plan to take to create this improvement.
Reflect on at least two things you learned from the “Issue of Humility” video

Project description
Choose any three websites of the same industry from Qatar, GCC region and worldwide. This can be for example banks,
telecommunication service providers, major shopping centers or any retailers that you frequent often in Qatar or in the GCC.
Evaluate the web sites based on the criteria given below and write a report. Start your report with a brief description of the
industry you have selected and how technology changed the way it is being conducted. Also, the introduction should include a
short summary of the companies owning the websites you have selected for the comparison.,
Things to look for and think about in a web site:
– Does the URL clearly reflect the name of the organization?
– Is it easy to spot the website through popular search engines (e.g. Google)? How well, you think, is the SEO strategy
implemented by the website administration team?
– Is the website accessible through devices other than PC or laptops (e.g. smartphones and tablets)? Is there a mobile
version of the website?
– Is the website compatible with all major web browsers? How would you evaluate the compatibility?
– Is the website secured when it comes to perform sensitive operations (e.g. login)?
– Now your turn! Think of four, five or six more criteria (one per team member) to evaluate and compare the same
websites. The criteria should be relevant to what you have learned in the course and should also be actual and
properly related to the purpose of the project. Use research, your common sense, experience and new knowledge in
completing this requirement.

i was asked to choose an example of screen media (Movie Black Narcissus 1947, and to offer a discussion of it in the light of the issues raised: Identity and difference, otherness, cinematic genres, but also story-telling genres more generally, etc. I should show why the theory I am using is relevant to the film I chose.

-7 minutes long.

– Can screen up to a minute of your chosen example

– Must reference 3 5 relevant sources. Details of these should be included in a bibliography on your final slide.
