- One topic per week.
- The class will be divided into two groups of 7 to make following the discussion easier.
- Two questions will be posted each week on the topic.
- One question will be more of an opinion, looking at ethics, etc.
- The other questions denoted by ****** will be based on evidenced based practice.
- The responses to these questions denoted by ***** must cite at least one reference in the response.- Please cite in AMA format so that your classmates can access the material.
- You must post at least one time to each question before Wed at 6:00 pm . 5 points will be deducted from that week’s possible points if late.
- You must post at least once to the original question. Your second response can be a response to another student.
- Responses must be thought provoking and meaningful. For example, don’t just say, “ I agree.” Instead tell why you agree or what led you to that opinion.
- In your responses you may choose to agree, disagree, comment or debate the point.
- There will be 5 points possible for each response. 3 responses required per week = 15 points possible per week.
