Week 16:Ethos, Pathos, Logos

Section A: Link to my website!

https://tudaniela.wixsite.com/rws1302

Section B: As a writer!

 Ethos:

Homepage: I will also talk about my experience in this course by being completely honest to create more credibility. When talking about me, I will explain that I am a student from the University of Texas at El Paso and clearly state the purpose of the website.

Reflections: For this section, I will strive to have no grammatical/punctuation errors when writing the reflection for each assignment.

Logos:

Homepage: The content and structure of the homepage will represent the logo appeal. I will make sure all of my writing is clear and understandable.

Reflections: For this section, I will use graphics as examples/reflections of my writing to show how my assignment looked.

Pathos: 

Homepage: I will talk about me some of my interests and expectations for the class. I will talk about what that I enjoyed about the class assignments and some of the times that I struggled with the material. 

Reflections: Since reflections are talking about my feelings towards the class and assignments, I will use emotional language when writing them. I will implement the emotions I felt throughout the class: proud, joyful, overwhelmed, confused, etc.

Section C: As a designer!

Ethos: 

I will set ethos by adding some of my contact information, social media, and a picture of myself. I am also, thinking about adding some screenshots, or quotes from the RWS e-book to have more credibility. 

Logos: 

 I will also make sure that my website is easy to navigate and proportional by creating several tabs and divisions to separate each section. I will focus on the structure of my website to make It look organized.

Pathos:  

To appeal by emotion, I will use a professional style to design my website. I will include visuals both academic and personal to make it more personalized and to help the audience know me a little better. Of course, I will use emotional language when writing each section.

Goodbye everyone! Thank you for all your feedback, good luck in all your finals!

Daniela!

I love how you website is looking, it is intense. I am glad that you have a well understanding of this ethos, pathos, logos for your writing and web design. I know your webpage will be easy to navigate and have some interesting information. I wish you the best for this final weeks <3 :D

[joyolive-blog]

Week 16: Ethos, Pathos ,Logos FTW <3

How will I execute Ethos, Pathos, and Logos as a producer, creator, writer, and activist? 

A: My webpage is down below :D

https://minssikk.wixsite.com/rws-1302

B: Ethos, Pathos, logos as a writer.

Ethos: For this section I have to prove I have created this website and that the information is of my own. Me being enrolled in the RWS class with Audrey Cisneros and to the University. I will be sharing some of my personal information and thought of the class.

Pathos:  Assignment Reflection: To discuss the difficulties of my assignments and what I thought was the hardest and the most important things of this class brought to me. To end with my the thought of my reading assignments of the RWS book.

Logos: Logos:  this is to make sure the content of my webpage is fluent and understandable. I will have to make sure to have proper grammar and an interesting content.

C: As a Designer:

Ethos: For this section I have to make sure that my information is separated in sections. Working well on the design and alignments of the sections for them to also be appealing to the viewer.

Pathos: I have to create a balanced webpage that has different fonts for my tittle, subheading and anything else that I add. I will upload pictures of me and add a background color that complements with the images and fonts. 

Logos: I believe this is the most important part of a website. A webpage should be simple and easy to navigate. I will explain my work and provide examples or quotes.

Week 15: Website Analysis

A.)Trendlines Research

1.) The web page is not well distributed with the content of the text but it looks too busy and viewers might get disturbed and have a hard time looking for the content.

2.) There is no contrast in this webpage, there is no difference in the fonts and everything looks the same.

3.) There is too much consistency in the webpage, there is no balance with the fonts and the content.

4.) There is some grouping of the same content. it is aligned horizontally.

5.) This website had no effectiveness at all. It is too busy and the use of color is somewhat unattractive. The font is too small and has almost no balance. This is a webpage nobody would like to access.

B) Aron Marquez

1.) This webpage is profesional and has balanced, the content is well organized and it is easy to navigate.

2.) There is enough contrast in the webpage. The fonts differ from the title.

3.) There is consistency throughout the page, the content Is about the same throughout it.

4.) Vertical distribution.

5.) This webpage is extremely effective, the usage of images in the background and the simplicity of the text has great balance. All this together makes it easier to navigate in the webpage and it is interesting to look at.

- My Website

1. I will make sure I distribute my information throughout my webpage and make sure the colors and font go together and that go well with my topic. I will use horizontal and vertical alignment to make it easier to navigate. I will work well with the content so there is enough consistency. My webpage will be effective If I include all the basics of design.

[pruittmo-blog]

Week 15 Website Analysis

SECTION A:

1. The balance of the website between images and text is relatively even. However, the amount of info and size that it is displayed is very unappealing. It makes the website look like there isn’t much text, and the images are the main portion. The webpage designer could have done that on purpose, drawing more attention to the images because they are bigger, but it makes it look like the balance is thrown off.

2. The contrast within the webpage is overwhelming. There are so many different colors from headings to body text and linked text. The size of the text is all relatively tiny, so it makes it hard to see where the actual headings are for the different parts of the website.

3. The same goes for the consistency. It is all over the place. There are different colors like i mentioned before. There are also different fonts style and size for each heading and different paragraphs of body text. 

4. The website does an okay job at grouping things together, but the site is still confusing. I’m not really sure what exactly it is about, but from just giving it a quick glance I would be able to figure out where to find certain information. The alignment isn’t bad either, but there are some minor adjustments that could be made for the site to be a little more professional looking. The top section and middle section are off centered from the bottom section so that makes it a little distracting.

5. Like i said earlier from just glancing at the site as a whole it is hard to understand exactly what it is about. The size of the text makes it really hard to read, and the different fonts and colors makes all the wording very distracting and overwhelming.

1. The balance of this website is so much better in comparison to the 1st website we took a look at. The images and graphics are pretty much used as background tools for the text on the website. It makes it very visually appealing. Also the use of small graphics is also helpful.

2. The contrast in the webpage is helpful instead of hurtful like in the last one. The bigger text is specifically set out for headings and important text that needs to take a forefront from the rest of the text. 

3. The creator is very consistent with design throughout the entire website. There is a lot more to this website than the 1st, but the creator uses that to his advantage. The links that are created to guide you through the website are easily accessible and visible. The text is all relatively similar in style as well.

4. The alignment and grouping for this site is amazing. The links separate all the information into categories. You have a basic understanding of what you are going to find under each link when you click on it. The alignment helps make the website visually appealing and easy to navigate.

5. Overall the effectiveness of this website is great! It follows the same structure throughout making it easy to adapt to. The information is easily accessible, and readable. The website is visually appealing to top it all off. 

Now to talk about future plans for my own website……

SECTION B:

1. To ensure that my website is balanced their doesn’t necessarily have to have an even distribution of text to images even though that is the whole goal. Just making the layout of the website “seem” like they are even will be sufficient. If the first website would have switched up his layout and the size of all the text, it would have looked more balanced.

2. Making sure that there is a size difference when it comes to headings and body text will help ensure that the website has good contrast. Also setting up the text in a creative and visual way will help contrast the really important information on the website. 

3. Keeping the same format throughout the entire website instead of switching things up will ensure that the website has consistency. In this aspect going with the saying “sometimes simple is better” is my goal. If you have a simple lay-out with visually appealing yet readable text, it doesn’t mean the website is boring looking. Use the layout and images to make the website really pop and have a creative feel. Making sure that all the headings match and the text looks the same will ensure a more professional look.

4. Making sure that information that goes together is grouped together is the big goal when grouping text. Different links or tabs to a website can be useful tools when grouping. Making sure the website is aligned evenly just helps with visual appeal, and makes the website look more professional and put together. 

5. I think black and white are really good text colors when you have a pop of color in the background. If you have a neon-green background and fluorescent pink text that can be extremely unappealing and distracting. You don’t want the text or background to cause anyone to strain to see or comprehend. I’m not saying super dull colors are the way to go either, but just don’t get too crazy!

Because look at this! Whoever doesn’t get a headache after this, is crazy!!!

6. Including some interactive parts of the website I feel like will really engage the viewers, and make them want to explore the rest of a site. You don’t want to cram too much information on a website because then viewers are either going to get bored, or your website is going to be text heavy. That’s boring and ineffective. 

[anairaetnamaid-blog]

Hey Morgan! No worries about commenting twice! I do agree with you that the first website was unappealing to the eye and to focus on the information at hand. I feel like you understand the concept of how to make a working and professional website, &’ you found this helpful as a guide to help us all out :) I’m excited to see your website &’ hopefully use it as a guide to help me create mine as well! Best regards and good luck on this assignment! Ari!

[joyolive-blog]

Hey! I think the first webpage made us all go nuts and it was not at all great. I can see that you can understand the concept and you will create an awesome website. Good luck with the last weeks of school. :D

Week 14: Creating a plan of action

I will commit to this project as much as I can. I will use my free time to work on this assignment and those days include the weekend and Mondays.

I will be meeting up with my group on Wednesdays after RWS and Thursdays from 10:30 to 2:50. I will be working alone when I do not finish my part of the assignment when we were in a group.

My part of the assignment is to write about the diversity of Hispanics in the nursing field, that is what I will be focusing on when I meet up with my group members on those days

In order complete my part of the project I will use the research from the research paper and apply it to the poster. If further research is needed to complete the project I will undergo the necessary steps in order to supplement my writing.

An aspect of this assignment that I am concerned about is time because we all manage our time differently. The project will get done on time but hopefully it will be done a few days before the due date so we have time to revise and edit the poster.

I am most comfortable with my group members and how the work is divided because it is evident that they have a very good work ethic and will get their part done on time.

[joyolive-blog]

Hey ! :D

I am glad to know that you are well organized with your group and your work time schedule. I know it is difficult to find a time where all the group members can meet up. I know you and your group will do a great job and have fun while doing the assignment. I wish you luck :)

[joyolive-blog]

Week 14: Creating A Plan Of Action

A&B: I will be working on my own for the project most of my free time, maybe during my breaks from school because they are usually long and I have enough time to go over school work. To be exact, from 1:00 am to 3 pm on Tuesdays and wednesdays According to my group we meet once a week on Mondays from 12:00 to 1:00 pm in the library. 

B&C: I will be working on the conclusion and the authors about diversity within the physician workforce of Hispanic  women and other minority groups.

I will need to use my time wisely and look up in the internet and articles to find what I need in order to finish this assignment successfully. I am concerned the most in this project is everything because it all matters, from time to effort and group caring.

I know this project will be nicely done because I am happy and comfortable with my group, we make up a good team.

Goodbye <3

Week 12 - Literature Review Reflection

*that little Rosa de Guadalupe breeze you feel when you finally finish a long assignment*

What 

In therms of the topic itself, I learned a lot during the research process, not only how not having diversity can affect more than one community, but also what can be done to help further diversify the medical field. The research taught me how, sadly, women today still face issues with sexism and sexual assault, no matter what century we are in. Also, wanting more women in the medical field isn’t so much about being feminist but because of what is brought to the table. For instance, women think differently, in ways men do no, providing a different perspective. Women also have shown to provide better patient care than male doctors do! I feel that this assignment encouraged me to follow my dreams and go into the medical profession. 

Writing a literature review helped me understand readings (specially scholarly articles) and how to properly analyze their purpose. At first, I thought the assignment was going to be overwhelming, but breaking it down like professor Cisneros did made it about x100000 easier and i’m almost sure, not to toot my own horn but beep beep, that this is one of my best assignments EVER. 

(that’s me tooting my own horn)

Conducting the primary research was so nerve-recking, at first, for someone like me who gets anxiety with just thinking of interviewing someone, however, preparing the questions before hand and understanding them helped me feel more in control and not so shy!

So What

I feel that everything that I learned is vital for getting to where ever it is I want to be in a few years. During the interview, Dr. Karinn Chambers talked about her struggles, but how in the end it has payed off BIG TIME, and I want to be able to say that in a near future, even be in her position, it really motivated to keep forward with deciding to stay in medicine.

 Writing a Literature Review, let alone a 12 page paper, will surely help me when im in grad school, cause I mean, IT’S GRAD SCHOOL. Pursuing a career in medicine, im sure i will have to conduct many studies and have to write many papers about it, and this assignment has showed me if i take it step by step, i will write 100 pages in no time. I also learned to use ALL sources possible to help prove a point, and not take anything for granted because even 10 minutes in the writing center can be a huge help. 

Now What

Now that I am aware of the great impact women have in the medical field, I want to keep pushing myself until not only am i done with my profession, but I am helping other women get their dream job. I plan to use my newly learned communication skills whilst applying for grad school, internships, fellowships, and jobs because of the fact that i will now be able to tel them, “This is why i want to do it”. I also hope to be the next Dr. Grey, and have my own show, if thats not too much to ask for. 

 I also plan to use the set of skills professor Cisneros has taught us for other assignments because I feel they eased the assignment as a whole AND help me actually understand what I was writing about!

[joyolive-blog]

Just by reading your first sentence I knew I wanted to reply to yours, super cool lol. I am glad to know what you have learned and that your interview went well. I also get super anxious sometimes and it’s good to know I’m not the only one like this in class. I know that everything you learned in this research will help you reach your goals in the future. Good luck with future writings of yours :)

[joyolive-blog]

Week 12: Research Reflection

During this research process I got to know more about my field. I have learned that Hispanics still make a very small part of the STEM population. It is very important to have diversity in any field. This assignment was time consuming but very fun. I still have to do my interview because none of my first options responded. Dr. Medina has saved my life and made an accepted to make an appointment. I am nervous about it but I know I will do great. 

What I have learned from this research paper is important not only for Hispanics but for all those students from all over the world who want to make a change for STEM . Diversity is a very important thing and being more open about this will improve the world of science. Most of the sources and information I found are an important part of my paper and for me, it is what build a good research paper.

Doing this research paper had helped me become a better researcher and reader. It is incredible to know how much information there is about my topic and the things there is to learn from it. I will use my knowledge from this class for future research and studies. I will follow what professor Cisneros has taught me for what is left of my college studies. I am happy to have a professor that makes things interesting and challenging.

Love for diversity <3

Interview Request

Here is my Interview request screenshot for Dr. Tillman

I have saved the interview release and Interview confirmation  to my drop box and edited with my own information. I took a picture of the materials I will be using for my interview. My camera and notebook.

[msierra7-blog]

Primary Source Research

Declared major: Psychology 

 Correlating College 

Department 

 Contact information to department and undergraduate advising 

Lets begin the lurking 

 Dr. Cooper, was my intro to psychology professor, I am well informed of his studies that directly involve tobacco use and Latinos. Which is why I’m sure he would know the healthcare access disparities that Hispanics can face. 

Although, Dr. Field focuses more on promoting behavioral change in regards to health. His research could help me answer what is the value in promoting healthcare equality specifically to the Latino population. 

 Dr. Louden, area is in legal psychology and her research focuses on offenders with mental illness. Her perspective could help me in regards to policy change in healthcare access not only in general population but also in criminal offenders.

[joyolive-blog]

I always love to look at your post, they are so creative and interesting. I like how you arranged your topic information and choosing the people that you will interview. <3

Week 6 Research Questions

[pruittmo-blog]

Week 6 Research Questions

I hopeHere are my 6 research questions that I drafted!!

Then I went to the UWC, and Ana help me out! 

She only had a few suggestions, so here is the finalized product :) 

Q1: A) question of fact B) This questions is important because it is vital that diversity exist within every workforce if it doesn’t already. C) By figuring out if diversity is present or not in the field of nursing, solutions can be made to aid the issue and increase diversity if possible. 

Q2: A) question of definition B) In order to make an educated decision about our question of fact, they must first be able to define what diversity in the nursing field actually is. C) I hope to better understand what types of diversity issues are occurring within this field.

Q3: A) question of interpretation B) It is important to consider because not all cultures and races react to things or handle things the same way. Its vital to understand that you may need several different communication tactics and habits to take care of a cultural diverse patient pool. C) I hope to learn different techniques of caring for different types of patients. It’s important to always remember that not every patient is the same. They won’t always react the same or have the same needs.

Q4: A) Question of Consequence B) It is important to understand that not only is the workforce itself hindered when there is a lack of diversity with it’s nurses, but patient care can also be damaged. C) I hope to learn how exactly patients can be affected as well as nurses when there is a lack of diversity.

Q5: A) question of value B) This question is important because in the nursing field, your main job and concern is patient satisfaction, health, and overall care. C) I hope to gain a better perspective of why patients think diversity is so important.

Q6: A) question of policy B) This questions is important to consider for anyone looking for a job in the nursing field. It may affect the way your hiring process goes. C) I hope to learn if hospitals are required to hire are certain amount of minority nurses.

UWC RESPONSE :

I love going to the UWC. I always get good feedback from the tutors, and they are always willing to answer questions and help with everything I need. When I went today, I got a little more generalized help. My tutor wasn’t as upfront with her suggestions. I kind of had to ask her more specific questions to get her to come out with her opinions. She didn’t have many revisions for the questions I came up with. I’m hoping that just because I did an alright job drafting them! 

[sylvalerie]

I was able to tell what your topic was from your questions. However, I suggest you should take another look at your researching questions such as on your questions of fact, interpretation, and value. Regarding the first question, I just suggest that you reword it and instead of saying whether it exists you should look at how much diversity is in the nursing field. The reason for this is because diversity is more obviously present in every field but you want to look at how much there is already instead. 

The question of interpretation is a bit subjective and maybe instead say “how does diversity affect the interactions between nurses and patients….?” Your researching might become limited if you only go through the advantages. 

The last suggestion would be on your question of value. It should rather say instead what is the value of a diverse nursing workforce to patients. Since your question somewhat implies that all patients care about diversity when it could be that some patients do not even notice it. 

Just be a bit more careful with how you focus your categories on and make sure to look at every aspect of your subject. These are just a few suggestions of mine that I hope can broaden your research in the topic you chose.

[joyolive-blog]

Hey Valeria!, I just wanted to say that these questions are very nice and understandable. I would say that questions number 3,6,7 and 4 are the best of them all, and I would focus on these. They have a good understanding of what your paper is about.

[joyolive-blog]

Week 6: Research Questions

These are my 6 wonderful research questions.

The sad part for me is that i was going to UWS but it was closed today. It has never been a good idea to wait for the last day to finish your assignments.
