Worth 5 points
During NURS 450, each student is required to contribute to the discussion board at the times/dates listed on the course

schedule. There are 5 discussions. Each discussion board is worth 5 points of the final course grade. To receive full

credit, students should:
1. Read the instructions carefully before adding to the discussion board. Please be thorough and proof your

discussion post before submitting.

2. Make sure that the discussion contribution addresses all of the factors in the discussion questions/directions.

3. Discussion contributions should reflect thought and application of theory content.

4. Complete the Discussion Board question and respond to 2 of your peers.

5. Use well-accepted professional references in your research. Be particularly careful about the use of web sites.

Some are great, and others are inaccurate and deceptive. Government websites and websites from well-known sources can be

excellent places to begin. There are often links to other good sources in these websites. Nursing and medical journals

are good sources of information. Do not rely on your textbook alone for information. At the BSN level, you must learn

to expand your use of resources into the professional literature.

6. Avoid superficial contributions when responding to another student’s contributions (required in all discussions).

Make sure that the response is substantive. Do not state things such as “I agree” as the only response. It is fine to

agree, but state why and expand on the point made by the original author.

7. Use APA (6th edition) format. While the body of the contribution does not have to be formatted with a cover

sheet etc., the citations should be put in APA format. Do not submit your discussion board post as an attachment.

8. Be sure to avoid plagiarism, which has been a problem for some discussion participants in on-line courses.

Never cut and paste directly from a source. Learn to put the idea into your own words. Remember, even if you cite the

reference, word-for-word copying is plagiarism unless it is quoted. Direct quotes should be minimal – they are often

unnecessary. Using an author’s ideas without citation is also plagiarism – even if you don’t copy word-for-word.

9. Points for the discussion assignment range from 0 to 5 points. Partial points may be used. You will receive

feedback on your discussion, including strengths and things to improve.
