TASK DESCRIPTION
(Lecturer – please insert task(s) / questions / what the student must do, here)
A local cosmetic dentist ?�Your Teeth our Smile’, specialises in the treatment of tooth alignment and repair, Hollywood veneers and denture creation or replacement plus general cosmetic repair.

The dental hospital has ten dental surgeries and one operating theatre. Each surgery is identified by its room number. All patients admitted to the hospital are assigned to a particular room. However during their treatment, which can last up to 12 hours they may be transferred to different rooms. If a general anaesthetic is required use is made of the operating theatre and patients must stay over night in one of the four private rooms available.

Patients are admitted for treatment which may involve several procedures. Treatment may require general surgery, in which case and operation is scheduled.

Patients are referred to the hospital from their NHS / private dentist. They are then diagnosed, and arrangements are made for future admission. Patients are sent notification of scheduled admissions one week in advance.

The hospital calls all patients back for a check up one month after they have been finished their treatment.

Due to the various factors such a prompt and friendly service and much media coverage of this new facility the hospital are gaining an ever-increasing customer base. To maintain their level of service, the hospital has decided that fast information retrieval and processing is a must.

They realise it is time to computerise. Currently they are booking appointments using a hand written and over full diary. They are writing out invoices, by hand, on pre-printing stationary generated in MS-Word. Initially they would like to use a system that would automatically update a schedule for each room and the operating theatre and print out customer invoices and then record relevant information in a simplistic invoice list database, thus keeping a record of the income generated from patient appointments.

Additional information

After you initial investigation the following user requirement were highlighted: -

They would like to be able to select appointment times from a standard list of rooms and available time slots and for this information to be placed onto an appointment cards containing patient details. (For this example assume the booking will only record for one month at a time)

The user would like a system that would provide them with a designed invoice that they could view on screen and print out once a patient has completed their treatment.

When all relevant information has been placed onto the onscreen invoice they would like to be able to print this out for customers.

Once the invoice has been successfully printed they would like the system to proved a facility to abstract relevant information from the on screen invoice and place it in the invoice details database. Once information has been extracted the on screen invoice can be cleared ready for the next set of information.

Assignment 3: “Critical Thinking Paper — Draft and Self-evaluation 1″

Background and Preparation:

•In Week 4, Discussion 2, you picked a topic, did some brainstorming and “starbursting” on the topic, and used the CAP process to organize the generated material into a rough outline.
•In the Week 7 “Explore It” activity, you created and conducted a survey on the topic you selected.
•This week, in Discussion 3, you shared the results of your survey with your classmates.
•Now it is time to write a first draft of your position paper and to self-evaluate the draft.
•Please note: For this assignment you will write both a draft and your self-evaluation of the draft. However, you will submit only the self-evaluation of your draft. Even though you are not submitting the draft itself, it is important to follow the guidelines below, because these are the identical guidelines for the final paper that is due in Week 10.
Draft:
Write a four to six (4–6) page (1000–1200 word) paper that presents a reasoned, convincing argument for a position on a selected topic. Your paper should cover the following:

1.Follow the five steps of persuasion: establishing credibility, acknowledging the audience’s position, constructing a rationale, transplanting root elements, and asking for a response.
2.Clearly define your position and supporting evidence, including the results of your survey.
3.Include all the necessary “evidence” for the reader to reach the expected conclusion in each argument in the paper (whether the over-riding argument or one contained in an individual paragraph)
4.Ensure that each argument in the paper (whether the overriding argument or one contained in an individual paragraph) is valid and free from both formal and informal fallacies.
5.Include at least four (4) references (sources). At least one (1) of your sources must be obtained from the collection of databases accessible from the Learning Resources Center Web page.
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and effectively organized writing:

•The paper is well-organized, and every explanation is both complete and easy to understand.
•Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph for the paper.
•Main ideas should be addressed in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
•Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
•The paper should be checked for spelling and grammatical errors.
The format of the paper is to be as follows:

•Typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
•In addition to the four to six (4–6) pages assigned, a title page with the title of the assignment, your name, the instructor’s name, the course title, and the date is to be included, as well as a Reference Page.
•Sources documented using APA style for in-text citations and listed on the References Page using APA style format.
Self-evaluation:
Note: This is the part you will submit for this assignment. After you have written the draft of your position paper, review it to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your argument. Respond to the following questions, as specifically as you can:

1.What is your topic?
2.What are the possibly different main claims/positions related to this topic? (There will be at least two (2) possibly different claims/positions, but there could be more; however, one of them will be YOUR claim/position.)
3.What is your position regarding the topic?
4.What “evidence” have you offered to support your claim/position? Have you included your survey results?
5.Put your claim/position and “evidence” through the “Scientific Method” and “Proving a theory” steps. Are there any steps on which your claim/position and evidence do not measure up to the examination? If so, what can you do to make them more acceptable?
6.Who is your intended audience? (This does not have to be specifically your instructor.)
7.What is your purpose? What do you want the audience to do, to feel, or to think? Remember that a persuasive paper is always asking for some sort of response from the audience.
8.What words or phrases have you included to cause your audience to do, feel, or think the way that you want them to do, feel, or think? Include all of your motivational or empathetic “cues” for your audience.
9.How can your position actually better meet the needs of your audience than other possible positions?
10.What more might your audience need to know before they believe that they need to do, to feel, or to think that what you are suggesting should in fact cause them to be doing, feeling, or thinking something?
11.What position that is different from yours might cause your audience not to accept your position? (Note: There may be more than one.) Now that you have identified it, what do you need to add to your own argument to convince your audience that this alternate position should be rejected in favor of your own position?
12.Can you think of anything else that your audience might need in order to be persuaded by your argument?
13.Once you have completed these tasks, start editing and revising your paper.
The self-evaluation should be at least one (1) page, 250 words minimum. The evaluation should be typed. APA format is not required for the assignment. Include your name and date.
