[deltaroxxy2]

Who's taking it winter 2? Have you gotten your book? Are you buying or renting?

Also, if you have taken it, any advice?

[rninme]

haven't looked at it much - but is that the do the literature review and don't post the same thing that others in your class are using DB or is that Module 4?

I know that when you first open the quiz it states that it is randomized for each student. Sounds like we may all be getting different questions. I only had one question that was related to "how many" and it was a pretty easy guess. You don't have to miss very many to receive a low score on these tests since they are 10 questions. So, I may be in for my own surprise. It just felt okay to me.

I had 2 what I considered to be gimme-questions. Easy, no big deal. But, 6 out of the 10 questions I had dealt with statistics, off the wall BS, and who the heck could possibly know that answer to this ... just my luck, right!

Vulnerable populations are groups that are not well integrated into the health care system because of ethnic, cultural, economic, geographic, or health characteristics. This isolation puts members of these groups at risk for not obtaining necessary medical care, and thus constitutes a potential threat to their health. Commonly cited examples of vulnerable populations include racial and ethnic minorities, the rural and urban poor, undocumented immigrants, and people with disabilities or multiple chronic conditions.

Found the above on a google search.

Module 4 is where she wants each student to use different APA sources that they have not used before. We have to go and find completely different resources from OUR own that we have cited in other DB postings. TA is mainly asking for journal type resources instead of textbooks.

Yeah..I don't remember seeing a stats questions either on the quiz....shrug...

Mtsteel...I think you define in what ways they are vulnerable in your opinion. Like being abused, suffering from aliments...etc.

Oh, so we don't just pick an area of vulnerability but approach it in general. Thanks.

Thanks so much Em…Also, where do I find in the book the part where Morrie is talking to Mitch about his ALS and that he's going to die?

Send some "heartlessness" this way please and thanks. Have howled through the movie, the book and now attempting to write the paper. Hard to type through tears. I also can't wait for this assignment to be done! Which is why I most likely have avoided writing it - last day, and I never wait until the last minute ...
