Learning Activity 02, Step 2, for Part 2

Learning Activities 02: Step 2

Discuss during the 2nd week of Part 02:

Return to the forum for Learning Activities for Part 2 in WebCT for Nurs 400A or Nurs 400B and select the postings on at least two of the four topics in Step One above to discuss.

  • raise provocative questions.
  • suggest alternatives.
  • add your own informed insights.
  • reflect critical thinking.

In a discussion, there's a give-and-take of thinking that evolves during the exchange. Hence, for an online discussion to be productive, it's necessary for everyone to tune in several times throughout the week and contribute. Remember: you need to be "seen" in an online discussion to be "heard." Participation will be graded with respect to:

  • Quality: Does your message reflect critical thinking? Does it have substance? Does it contribute in some way to the thinking of others?
  • Frequency: Have you contributed to the discussion at least 3 or 4 times in addition to posting your own assignment(s)?
  • Distribution: Are your messages distributed on various days throughout the week? (No "dump 'n' runs")

Click here to find your group.
 
Do this week:
 
Get together with your group--either online, or on the phone, or face-to-face, to select a a research article to critique from Peteva, A cross section of nursing research. Only one group to an article. The first person listed in each group posts the article title in the forum for Learning Activity for Part 6 in Nurs 400A or Nurs 400B. When you've claimed your article by posting its title, no other group may use it for this course. 
 

Begin now to work with your group on this project. You'll be working on your part of the project at the same time that you're completing Parts 3, 4 and 5 of the course. The critique should be almost completed by the time we get to Part 6.
