OU Online RN to BSN, Legal/Ethical Issues

Paper done.......Ready for week 2?????

[chuckster, ADN, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

i have already answered all of the questions, suggested a leadership schedule, etc - no one is responding..... what else can i do???

i share your concern. i posted my suggestions on how to handle the group discussion early monday and volunteered to answer two of the four questions. i posted my draft response for the two questions late monday and asked for feedback. as of this evening, only one other person has posted and that was to say that she would do one of the questions and have the answer posted on friday.

the instructions from the ta state that

according to the rubric – one point will be subtracted from any individual who does not post by thursday 7pm in their group discussion board and this will be monitored by your ta. the posting must add to the content of the group post and not be that they agree with the material already posted. your participation is important –you will see that the team leader must have time to do the work and the group must be willing to sign in each day during the week for a short time period to review work – the group gets the same grade)

i would normally volunteer to be the team leader but due to work obligations, will not have access to my computer until late in the evening friday. with no one even responding, i can't see how this can possibly work out well.

I only had 2 points taken off of my paper----Whew! Both points were for format. The TA said I had too much space between my paragraphs. I typed my paper in Microsoft Office 2010 the same way I always type my papers. I never had this comment about a paper before. Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this? I typed the whole paper double spaced as usual.

O.K....my TA took off 2 1/2 points because my references were not in alphabetical order......is this for real????? Really worth THAT much?

Makes ya crazy, eh? Well, my TA has a heart and gave me 5 points so I am now at least passing by OU standards. My last class I had a 99.5% at the end. There is no real standard for grading papers...some are so picky. And why? We are not in a MSN program. I know we need to follow APA standards, etc but there is absolutely no consistency in grading.

Congratulations to all you winners! I'll see you at the end as I'm pulling up the rear...

I just found out that my group will now consist of me and one other student. Kind of stretches the definition of the word "group"

There is something weird that happens with the new word 2010 - it puts 2 1/2 spaces between paragraphs. I can't remember how I fixed it permanently - chuckster is the man to ask!!

Chuckster---Do you know how I can fix my spacing issue?

Up in the drop box where you choose spacing you also have to choose to "Remove space before and after paragraph"... I sometimes have to highlight my entire text and choose this before it will change
