From looking at the classes starting in fall, I'm guessing that Evidence Based nursing is replacing Research? Anyone have any idea if stats is still required prior to taking this, as it was with Research?

When you post a discussion board post or do other assignments, do you first type it in Word, then copy and paste it into the Blackboard text or DB box? This is what I have always done with success but all of a sudden I am having a lot of problems with that. What I'm copying and pasting is coming out all screwy. I talked to tech support and they told me that you should never copy and paste into Blackboard from Word. Anyone ever have problems with this?
Interesting b/c that is exactly what my TA said to do, copy and paste. I have had trouble with the references messing up. I copy paste the text part and then do the references one at at time. I also started spacing over about 6 spaces before I paste, otherwishe half of the reference disappears off the page to the left.

Okay, so if we have to know Kurtosis, chi-square stuff I might as well forget passing this next quiz. Thank goodness I have some wiggle room!
Kurt..... who?????? I haven't gotten to that part of the reading yet. I can hardly wait...
Whenever I see the Chi square, I can't help it but I start singing that stupid song... Chi chi chi chia ( remember the chi chia pet commercials?)
Kurtosis was in one of the videos. I gave up on those...it's not in the text so forget it. I just can't assimilate a whole lot of statistics at this point. I'm not sure why they selected those heady videos...ugh. Almost done gang...where are the grades for week 3???

Got my worst scores yet for DB! So, this week I did a much better job that I can be proud of! Now I am afraid of the quiz and I am never afraid of quizzes. I am hanging onto a B+...just want to make it all the way through to the end.
BTW: What is a passing grade for nursing classes? Is it a B or a B minus? Just curious.
80% is a B- and is passing. Below 80 means you have to repeat the class.

Still waiting on grades for last week. Got the internal validity assignment completed finally. Glad ya'll told me we could log into that multiple times. That allowed me to see patients in between typing responses! Wish I had know that for the last assignment! Found my articles for DB - now just need to write'em!
Thursday and no grades??!!! This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to improve our work from the preceding week without timely feedback? I hope the delay is for a good cause...like better scores for all, lol. Looking ahead to the home stretch..giddy-up!
Thank goodness my TA grades quickly. I had my Dep/Ind Variable grade on Monday. DB grades in on Tues. Waiting this long would really make me crazy.
I hope you got 100% on all!

No grades in my section either and it is frustrating.
I took the quiz this morning and miraculously only missed two questions, my best quiz score in this class. If I wouldn't have changed one of my answers I would have only missed one. It's a miracle I tell ya! The study guide covers a good amount of the quiz content. I'm betting that others will do well on this quiz. I am thrilled to be DONE with week 4!
That's fantastic modgoth1! Good job! Can't wait to kiss this class farewell!
