Naveen,
Thanks for submitting your paper on time, I sure do appreciate that. To the paper, you got off to a great start and provided a wonderful introduction, but you failed to connect your argument for the clinical, academic, research, and policy roles of doctors to your personal beliefs and values. Also, several times in the paper as you talked about these roles, I felt that you missed the opportunity to talk about your personal feelings about the issues of patient surveys, medical education, research and policy. In addition, I would have been stoked to see more information in the paper about the physician taking on more advocacy and leadership functions, as I agree with you that this is very much needed.

Just some general comments for your consideration. Please use them to improve your papers going forward.
• The assignment required that you utilize the APA format, but you did not. So, please refer to the information under the resource Tab on the course portal for more information on APA formatting
• For APA, your references must be on a separate page than the body of the paper. You also missed several opportunities to cite relevant and current sources that substantiated your comments.
• For APA, you are required to have a cover page with a running head, your title and name, as well as the name of the school, etc.
• The paper was also a little disjointed, and even at the summary paragraph, I hoped that you would have connected all the physician roles you so eloquently mentioned, cite the literature, and talk more about what you feel about this issue.
Also, I wanted to offer you the opportunity to use these comments to revise and resubmit this paper, I would be willing to review another copy and use your new grade for the assignment. If you would like to do this, please let me know, and I will hold off from submitting your

    Editorial Feedback I had the opportunity to read my classmate Ana Ortiz’s autobiography whom I enjoyed learning more about. The part about her sister getting Dengue virus made the autobiography more interesting. There were enough details about her personal life to allow readers to get a general idea of who she is. I liked that Ana focused on being a part of the Latino community, but she should expand on it.…

    Draft 2 Revision Plan

    Draft 2 Revision Plan My professor and my writing tutor commented that my conclusion is essentially a restatement of what I have already said in my literature review. It is important for a conclusion to contribute to the literature review in some way, so for my next draft, I plan to review the articles and extend my conclusion to include some other observation or where the field could be going. One observation I might include is that although the articles focus on time periods separated by almost five centuries, they describe the struggle of women for gender equality in the same way. Why is the current situation not significantly different from that of Elizabethan England? Another comment I received from my professor was that my proposition is too narrow.…

    Prior to enrolling in this course, I have not really taken any class that was strict about citing and referencing sources in APA format. It has been a challenge for me, but through feedback from my instructors I have been able to make headway. Another weakness I see in myself is posting my assignments at the 11th hour. One of my strengths is my willingness to learn new things and this class has afforded me that. Through accredited websites, and reading Masters, I have been exposed to new information I never once new.…

It also familiarizes Bethel students with a commonly recognized way to acknowledge sources of information in the academic community. Additionally, using the APA format adds a layer of transparency and credibility to the thoughts and ideas a student is attempting to convey since readers can easily identify and confirm the source(s)…
