Based upon: Effectiveness of Non-Invasive Ventilation, Versus Invasive Ventilation management of patients with Type 1 Respiratory failure in an Intensive Care unit – 15 patient group – (Hypothetical).
Guidance for writing up your Research Proposal.
It is helpful for those marking the assessment if you clearly label each part of your proposal with sub-headings suggested below – the word limits/numbers in brackets are not prescriptive, but merely included for guidance.
1. Introduction (100 words)
What is your overall focus and research aim? Do you have objectives? – To identify evidence defining the effectiveness of Invasive versus non-invasive ventilation.
2. Justification of Study (200 words)
Focus upon justification of the study. Why is the research question relevant to clinical practice, education or management? Why would it be of value to consider the topic? Is there a gap in current evidence? Is the existing research outdated now?
3. Literature Review (1000-1300 words)
Review the main body of literature to your research question.
The aim is to explore the nature of the problem and to formulate and refine your research question. Do not just import extracts from the literature, but be critical about what you have read and chosen to include.
How does the current literature relate to your aims/objectives/research questions? Can the literature inform your research? Is it that you have identified an existing gap within the literature that needs addressing via your questions?

4. Is your timetable realistic and manageable?
5. Have key issues been signposted?
6. Is your proposal reader friendly?
Use as many sources that you feel are appropriate for this piece of work
Before you begin this essay you will need to read “Evaluating Internet Research Sources” by Robert Harris (Links to an external site.)
For this essay, you will select a website that discusses a current controversial issue that you are interested in. You cannot use Wikipedia. You will need to clearly identify the title of the website and URL in your essay.
You will then evaluate the website that you have selected.
Use the following questions as a guide. Remember, simple Yes or No answers will not be enough. You will need to take time to explain your evaluations of the website and include specific examples/details to support your evaluations. Both in-text documentation and a works cited page in MLA format are required.
Here are some questions to consider as you evaluate the website. DO NOT try to respond to all of the questions. Select questions that you can answer, develop and support in your evaluation of the website.
Look for signs indicating the website is regularly updated. When was the website last updated? Does the lack of an update date help you to determine whether or not the website is credible/reliable?
Is the website posted anonymously? If it is anonymous, ask yourself why do you think you (or the reader) should trust the information even though it comes from an unknown source.
Does the website list contact information for the author or organization (e-mail address, mailing address, phone number) so you can verify the person or organization really exists by trying to contact them?
Is the author someone particularly likely to be a trustworthy source? Does the website list his/her credentials, experience, title, occupation or other relevant information?
Is the author associated with a respected or well-known organization? Does that organization have an interest or investment in being impartial, accurate, and trustworthy?
Does that organization have a financial or political stake in persuading you to trust its judgment that might make it biased or untrustworthy?
Has the website organized its information into numbered sections or provided a means of citation for scholars and researchers?
Does the website have a clear agenda, such as a commercial, political bias/motivation for its publication? Examine the address endings for the website (For instance, .com, .biz, .gov, .edu, .org, .mil, or .mus.)
What does this tell you about the nature of the organization? Does that bias alter the degree to which you trust the website? Should it?
Ask yourself if the web author has taken the time to proofread her webpage.
Has the author spent the time to create a neat, visually engaging but easily accessible webpage? If not, does that sloppiness detract from the reader’s trust? Why or why not?
An occasional typo or grammatical error might mean nothing, but two or three within a few paragraphs might indicate this individual didn’t spend much time on the project or might not be very professional.
Is there any evidence of quality control? For instance, has the publication been “refereed” (peer-reviewed by other writers or editors)?
Was it written by or for an organization that evaluates information before publication? If not, does it use quotations from such a source?
Are there signs that the writer or author is incompetent, poorly educated, or apathetic about his project?
After viewing the film The Illegals and reading this week’s assigned secondary source readings,consider to what extent the film conveys realistically (in your view) the plight of Jewish survivors in post-war Europe and beyond, as portrayed to some extent in the readings you’ve completed this week and in the past few weeks (and perhaps especially last week).
Do you think the film captured, metaphorically or literally, the ways in which Jews conceived of their own experiences of survival and their path to a homeland after the war?
If so, how? If not, why not? Did Bauer and Patt’s articles illuminate any aspects of the film in particular?
Post your initial response of 5-7 paragraphs (plus citations of the text/film)
Included a short web resource from Yad Vashem with further background information about The Illegals and how it was made – in the covering comments for the module, also linked up to Simone Gigliotti’s very interesting lecture on the film, which considers it against other film narratives. Some of you may have also read Leon Uris’s Exodus, which relates similar themes.
At times, the sound on the film is quite challenging – the Closed Captioning is not too bad, though as you will see, it sometimes gets the transcription wrong. But you should be able to get the gist!
