Excited to see this thread!

The criteria for discussion posts says 1-3 paragraphs approximately 5-15 sentences. Then the announcement said NO MORE than 3 paragraphs. Nothing about the structure of how it needs to b written! If there r specific structure requirements like an introduction n conclusion then it should tell us that.....

Did anyone else get the emails about the writing standards for the class from buchman?

I got the exact same email from two different teachers. I wonder if this is just something they are sending out to everyone as a general reference?? I don't know, but since they did not put a reference where they got the letter I am docking them for APA formatting or plagiarizing!!! LOL

Between this class and Family, I'm getting really nervous. I have 4 classes to go. I'm working on gen ed courses this semester and not taking a nursing class. But wow, all this makes me thing, do I even want to finish. Why in the world do they have to make is so darn hard?

I hate to say I am "glad" everyone else got the same nasty letter but is do feel better, LOL. I was wondering how my grades were so good yet she was sending ME these nasty emails.

Anyhow, I keep getting docked .25pts because I do not have a hanging indent with my references. Problem is; when I type in my references for my discussion posts they always show as a single line....does anyone else have this problem?

[lilpetRN]

I was just as surprised by that nasty note. I have a 95% in the class. They must not think my posts are that horrible. This whole program annoys me.

So everyone got the nasty annonuncements about how the professor is so disappointed with our assignments??!! She said that obviously we arent reading the announcements when completing our discussion boards or assignments! Any ideas on what brought this on??!! I have a perfect grade in this class so far and have not received any negative feedback! I do feel frustrated with the lack of direction though. I have never been required an intro paragraph or closing paragraph for a DB!

Assignment 4: My TA posted more info about this assignment. What is the Reminiscing Assessment Tools?

I think she is talking about the things listed in the assignment directions

1. a) Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Chapter 13; box 13-1, page 211)
   
   
2. b) Brief Pain Inventory (Chapter 16, figure 16-1, page 264)
   
   At least thats what I got out of it!!

Thanks I guess that is what she means. Seems like a lot of work this week for 20 points we need three credible references adn refereed sources other than are book!

Has anyone started the week 4 paper, I feel completely lost. I discussed the results of all those assessment tools on the last paper. Do they want the actual too, scanned and included? Other than the poem I have no new information to write 500+ words about-help!!

Yeah, I thought the email/announcement was very unprofessional, I think she should have addressed the subject a little more gingerly and contacted the persons she was talking about directly. I think the TA and Professor in this class are generally non-supportive. But whatever, we are almost finished now!
