  2. Complete detailed answers addressing each of the issue(s)/question(s) in the selected cases using proper English. APA Style is required only for citations and references.

3.The issue(s)/question(s) shall be repeated in full and followed by the group’s narrative response which must include substantively and properly used APA Style citation for sources.

  1. The references used for each issue(s)/question(s) shall follow each narrative before proceeding to the next issue(s)/question(s), if any.
  2. At least three (3) “External Authoritative Sources” are required in addition to the textbook and case for maximum points on EACH issue/question. 5.1 Each paragraph and each substantive issue addressed in an answer must have at least one “External Authoritative Sources” cited (not including the text book or case). 5.2 It is unacceptable to have any paragraph(s) or issue(s) with zero sources cited 5.3 It is improper to have one paragraph or issue contain all three “external authoritative sources”
  3. The assigned cases are as follows. See Course Calendar for Due Dates.

Module 4 – Kirk v. Mercy Hosp. Tri-County, 851 S.W.2d 617 (Mo. Ct. App. 1993). Found in Ch 20 (pg553-554).

  1. A source cannot be referenced unless it was cited in the narrative answer.
  2. The text book and case study must be cited just like any other source. It is not permissible to write "In the text book…" or In the case study…" unless the proper APA Style citation is found at the end of the sentence.
  3. Any "direct quote" in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number at the end of the citation.
  4. It is improper to place a citation/source at the end of a paragraph if material from the source appears before the last sentence in the paragraph.
  5. It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.
  6. “External Authoritative Sources” for purposes of this course shall mean: articles from published books, peer reviewed journal articles, education and government sites as well as non-partisan national or international organizations (such as WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS etc) provided, however the article selected must have: 12.1 Authors; and 12.2 In text citations and references to support statements made therein. 12.3 Under no circumstances are newspapers (e.g., the Wall Street Journal), blog

Sample Solution

In this experiment, small and large lima beans were used to test whether or not bean beetles had a preferred site size for oviposition. Our hypothesis proposed that if a preference was shown, a greater number of eggs would be oviposited on the larger lima beans compared to small lima beans. We predicted that they would prefer the larger bean because it has a greater surface area, therefore finding a spot on the bean to oviposit would be easier to do. On the contrary, our results show that we reject the null hypothesis due to the fact that our p-value was so extremely small. Because of this, we can conclude that C. maculatus prefer smaller sized lima beans for oviposition. The preference for a smaller lima bean could be due to a chemical cue preferred by, or undesirable to, bean beetles. Another reason could be that the nutrient to surface area ratio is greater, or because larger beans may be more appealing to predators. According to a similar experiment conducted by Jason Cope and Charles Fox, bean beetle eggs were distributed so that resources were maximized per individual offspring (2002). They found that females preferred a larger mass compared to surface area due to the quantity of resources available inside the seed. Although our experiments measured different variables, in both findings we can identify that a larger surface area is not ideal for bean beetle site preference for oviposition. In an experiment conducted by Grace Pitman, Tyler Flockhart, and Ryan Norris, they measured which size and what density of a milkweed patch was preferred by the monarch butterfly for oviposition (2018). Their results showed that a small, low-density patch had the highest egg density. This was because larger patches showed an increase in predator abundance (Flockhart et al. 2018). When determining sites for oviposition, the one that increases probability of offspring survival is more desirable. Therefore, choosing a small, low-density site for oviposition increased the probability that the offspring would survive and reproduce. This relates to our experiment because we tested to find the preferred site that would increase
