Advice for online discussion posts please!!

Hello everyone! I am currently going to school online for my MSN-FNP. I went to school years ago and so this is the first time I have been required to do online discussion posts. The first weeks question was about the principles of scholarly discussion and netiquette. No problem! Done! However, now I am being asked to share my thoughts about scholarly discussion containing personal experience. I AM TOTALLY STUMPED! I have never done online scholarly discussion until now, so I feel like I really don't have any experience to go off of for this one. Does anyone have some advice on how I should proceed?

Thanks ahead of time!!

    Let me start this off by saying that discussion board assignments totally suck.

    Okay, now for your assignment, are they asking about any scholarly discussion you've had or just ones that have taken place online? I think this is a weird assignment. If they are specifically asking about online discussions, then I would just mention that this is your first online class, but answer the question using your personal experience on scholarly discussions in general. To be honest, I don't know what they mean by "scholarly discussions," so I might be way off base.

    Hope this helps?? :confused:

    I don't know if this will help much, or is even based on the actual question you are asking.

    However, in my experiences with scholarly discussions, i have learned to realize that it is hard to incorporate personal experiences, especially if your instructors are sticklers on APA format. It can be an awkward read for someone to be given facts with sources in a very matter of fact way, and then hump into a personal strong or experience with patient X.

    I've learned that many instructors like discussions and papers to be very straightforward and to the point, without much personal experiences included, unless the discussion specifically asks for personal experiences.

    Don't know if that helps at all, just MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES with discussions ;-)

    The questions is about general scholarly discussion. But scholarly discussion is based on evidence and facts, usually cited. So it would be completely weird to have an actual discussion like that. Haha. I still don't know what to do, but thank you for your post!

    I got it now. Your original question said the discussion was about "scholarly discussions containing personal experience". I took that as a scholarly discussion where you were also asked to provide some sort of personal experience within your discussion... Or give a reaction to how you feel about personal experiences that are included within a scholarly discussion...

    Sorry about the misinterpretation.
