This source is used to inform readers of what the University of Iowa's pediatric hematology and         oncology can do.  The author, Yatin M. Vyas, MD, is the division director who oversees all things in the pediatric hematology and oncology units.  He is a reliable source as he has gone through much schooling.  I can use this source to introduce my interest in pediatric oncology, and even better, its from the University of Iowa.

This source talks about how cancer effects the day to day life of children with cancer.  This source will be helpful when I talk about how pediatricians handle upsetting situations when working with patients.  This journal is written by many authors who are experts in their field.

This source is written in APA format.  It is an informative piece that explains the lives of the children involved in oncology research.  This source will be helpful to explain the patients experience and the decisions they have to make.  This journal was published by the American Cancer Society, which we know is a reliable source.     

 

Assignment 1: Analytical Report

The purpose of the analytical report is to familiarize oneself with the type of writing one will do in their field.  For example, many science papers are written in APA format, rather than english papers written in MLA. This project will help when writing a paper in ones field.  I am a health and human physiology major and have yet to write a paper in in APA, which i know is the proper way to write a paper in this field. This paper will also help me with my interviewing skills as we need to interview a person in our field of study.  This will also help me with my research skills, as we need to find 3 academic sources and 3 that are not. Overall, I think this paper is going to give me a general idea of how I will write papers in the future.

1.  How long should the interview be?
2.  What is considered an academic source?
3.  How in depth should the interview be?
