Which of these theoretical perspectives do you feel is relevant to nursing or your chosen profession.

1. Your discussion board post is at least three paragraphs.
2. Your response should answer all parts of the discussion board prompt. Please note, some prompts will have multiple parts, make sure you answer all parts.
3. When constructing your argument for your responses, make sure that you draw from all readings that have been assigned for that module/discussion board. Your post must demonstrate your understanding and application of the material from the course readings. You do not have to agree with any or all the material you have read, however, you must give it thoughtful consideration.
4. Personal stories and experiences can enhance your discussion, however, make sure that you are not using these to make unqualified assumptions about the sociological issues being discussed.
5. If you decided to incorporate outside materials (articles, website, books, etc.) to build your argument you MUST include a “works cited” section at the end of your essay.
6. Make sure your discussion board post is thoroughly proofread (free of spelling and grammar errors) before submitting it.
7. Make sure to include a concluding statement to summarize your argument.
8. You must also comment on at least one classmate’s post. Your response is due by the same date and time as your original posting (due dates are listed on the discussion board prompt as well on the course schedule of your syllabus). Failure to post your response by the discussion board due date and time will result in a 3-point deduction. Responses submitted past the two-day buffer (see #9) will receive a score of zero.
9. Make sure your discussion board post is submitted on time in order to ensure maximum credit. Students who submit their discussion board post within two days of the original date will automatically receive a 20%-point deduction (i.e. the maximum credit you can receive for your post is 16/20 and that is only if it fulfills all the rubric requirements). Discussion board posts that are submitted past the two-day buffer window will automatically receive a score of zero.
