A pretty straight forward class....Enjoy

It looks like it but of course there is a potential problem. There are three people that I have had previous experiences with from old CLC projects that might cause me problems. 2 that I had to pull work from at the last moment and one that seemed type A personality until it came down to work that needs to be done. Of course they are already assigned to my CLC group..... What luck... I will get through this and this is my last CLC project.

so lucky to have those 3 again! lol I was never that lucky! Actually I really didn't pay attention to who was in my class,lol For the most part throughout the course I barely read the other DQs, as they were very bland, thus didnt pay attention to students names! Wish I had kept that up, as the more DQs I read..the more plagiarism I noticed,lol Enjoy the last CLC

I do read many discussion posts but it is usually for a reason. These three people I have had in prior CLC projects individually, this class I have them all together... Yay!!!!! I pay attention to the ones that affect me in someway. They stand out because they were a pain in my rear in the past. :roflmao:

I am in week 3 of Capstone and really like my instructor (I gambled and just took one they gave me) but this class is way too busy! I turned in Week 2's review of the literature that was supposed to be 1500-2000 words not counting references. Mine was 15 pages and 3550 words! I told her I cant reduce the words because they want 1-2 paragraph answers per question. There are 4 questions in each lit review! I am so tired and need a week to sleep. She graded it already and she actually reads them. I got a 94%. Did I mention I am tired?

1 of the 1st things I did was to ask about the word count..all she said was don't go way over the word count,lol Pretty difficult to keep it down..200 words times 15 articles is 3000..I was so glad to tuen that assignment in and be done with it,lol Ur almost to the end.....

So has anyone noticed that the color group assignments ever change after the first couple days of class. The three people I was worried about have been changed. Only one of them is still in my group. It even gets better, everyone has checked in and state they wish to get going 2 weeks early. Could this be the best CLC project yet? I hope so for my final one.

Maybe they recognized your name too... :cheeky: :roflmao:

Everybody deserves at least ONE in the program! (I only had 1 good one) Congratulations!

It's coming! Only 2.5 weeks away! I think I actually did sleep for a whole week (not counting refreshing LC q5 minutes to see if my final grade was posted yet, of course). After THAT you will indeed sleep like a baby!!! :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: ZZzzzz......

I think only once, and that was because people had dropped the class, so the prof had to make changes..... I never had a truly nightmare group...and in the 1 case 1 gal did nothing was to our benefit and she was smart enough to keep her mouth closed, but 1 group was pretty much perfect...everyone showed up the 1st day the colour forum was open and I think by day #2, we had the topic picked and everyone had their taskings.....It was sweet, and everyone finished early, it was amazing,lol Almost made 1 want to sign up for GCUs Masters program and tackle more CLC projects...almost...lol

Hello all... please assist with instructors for capstone, hlt 308 and amp 450. I don't who or which professor is best to take.

thank you so very much for any guidance.

How does the A, A- grade thing work? Is it going to lower my GPA? I'm asking because the teacher finally turned in my grade for an assignment I completed two weeks ago, and gave me a C, for unjustified reasons (she failed to recognize the "changes I would make to my personal practice" since I had written them in third person instead of first). Don't get me started. I had high A's on everything else, but ended up with an A- in the class because she gave me 0/40 on that section of the rubric for not addressing that portion of the content. I have a pretty strong case (all I have to do is change "The nurse should" to "I would" for a paragraph), but don't want to label myself as a troublemaker so early in the program if it doesn't affect my GPA.

PrismRN · Oct 10, 2015

I could be wrong, but I wouldn't worry about labeling yourself as a troublemaker. The Univ is so giant and there are so many zillions of students and instructors, I doubt that (in the flurry that is online learning) anyone would recognize your name from just simply appealing a grade. A zero on any section of the rubric is pretty harsh, in my opinion. Did it say specifically in the assignment description that one should write in the first person? if not I think I would challenge that because even the tutorials from the Writing Center say it is bad form in academia to write in the first person. I think I remember that paper though, I think I did write "me" and "I", which was a hard transition after being told not to!

Regarding the GPA: Go into your student portal and on the left side click on Academics, then View My grades. Mine doesn't work anymore because I'm done (YAY!!!), but I remember there being a field that you could enter the grade you expected for your class and it would calculate your cumulative GPA. Those may not be exact instructions; just play with it because I know it works. I was on that page every time I thought a prof was going to tank me LOL
