Headache Medicine Clinical Trial



             
101 people participated in the trial. 54 were in the treatment group. 47 were in the placebo group.

     As a part of the FDA, I probably wouldn't approve this medicine. Even thought 100% (101/101) people got better, 11% had side effects. You have specified that that 11% had side effects, but we do not know what the side effects are. We can not approve the medicine until we understand that the side effects aren't harmful, and can be easily cured.

           Also, were the participants all in the same nature and stage of the disease when they took the medicine? Did you use a double blind study, or any other method to ensure accuracy and precision? Accuracy and precision is very important during a clinical trial. Did each person in each group receive the same amount of placebo/treatment? The amount of medicine could have made a difference in results. Was the protocol approved by an ethnics committee? Did you have a protocol? For the FDA to approve your medicine, you must answer these questions, and many more.

  In conclusion, the FDA has insufficient evidence to approve your medicine. Since you could not state the answer to these questions, we can unfortunately not release your medicine.

    Hi Radhika,
    Your explanation was very well and clearly written, great points and I just might agree with you after reading that. I just wanted to tell you, I noticed quite a few of the same facts that Sajid used, but overall, I am blown away. Great job, 3!

    Its good I would give you a 3. But you really just copied what Sajid said. And did not add any thing else. If you did copy his I would give you a 0 because its rude. He worked hard on it. There were times you wrote the same sentence.

    Also this"Was the protocol approved by an ethnics committee? Did you have a protocol? " was practically copied word from word. Not cool!

English Formative Reflection: Q1

 FORMATIVE LANGUAGE REFLECTION  My punctuation in all the sentence types are correct in all of the sentence types, but I could improve by being more precise. In both my complex and compound-complex sentences, I put an "of how" after my DMW in both. Removing this could definitely make my points more concise and more believable to a reader. Next time, I'd like to challenge myself by experimenting with different structures within the sentences. For joining independent clauses, I like to use the semicolon followed by a coordinating conjunction method. I would like to challenge myself next time to use FANBOYS instead, which would make my writing easier on the eye and would also make it more concise.  FORMATIVE SPEAKING REFLECTION The best part of the discussion was the "meat" of the discussion itself. Everyone came prepared, everyone had stuff to say with evidence to back it up. I feel we really got to broader ideas and it was fabulous. On the flip side...
