What NURS 839 Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 2 asks for
Forum 2, on the scholarly project proposal results and discussion and dissemination, is due in Module/Week 6 with Moran et al. chapter 14, Roush chapters 4 and 5, the SPSS statistics tutor and the Scholarly Project Guide. A thread demonstrating course-related knowledge and replies to two classmates. Worth 50 points.
Where it fits in NURS 839
In the published schedule, Discussion Board Forum 2 is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 839. It follows Week 4 Scholarly Project Proposal Methodology Paper and comes before Week 7 Scholarly Project Proposal.
How NURS 839 Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 2 is graded
Liberty grades Discussion Board Forum 2 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 50 points in the published guide. That is about 5% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
Course grades in NURS 839 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 960 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 839 Week 6 method, step by step
Read the prompt against the week's material
Open the Discussion Board Forum 2 prompt in Canvas and list every question it asks before you read anything else. Most NURS 839 prompts ask two or three linked things; a thread that answers only the first is graded as incomplete no matter how well it is written.
Take a position in the first two sentences
Graders read dozens of threads. State your answer to the main question at the top, then spend the rest of the thread earning it. A thread that warms up for a paragraph loses the reader before the course concepts arrive.
Build the body from course concepts
Each body paragraph should carry one idea from the Proposal Development reading, put to work on the prompt. Define it briefly, apply it, and say what it changes. Repeating the chapter back is the most common reason threads score in the middle of the rubric.
Place the sources where they do work
Meet the source rule (Course readings and scholarly sources) inside the argument, not in a closing sentence. Cite the textbook where you define a concept and a peer-reviewed article where you make a claim that needs evidence.
Connect it to practice
Close the argument with application. Name the setting and what someone there would do differently because of your answer.
Write replies that add something
Each reply (2 classmates' threads) should extend the classmate's thread: a counterpoint, a second source, or an application to a different setting. Quote the line you are answering so the reply reads as a conversation.
A structure for NURS 839 Week 6 Discussion Board Forum 2
Word targets are planning numbers for about 450 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Answer the main question of the prompt directly and state your position. | ~70 words |
| Concept | Define the course concept from the week's reading that the prompt turns on. | ~120 words |
| Application | Apply the concept to the case, setting or question in the prompt. | ~130 words |
| Evidence | Bring in the required sources where they support a specific claim. | ~90 words |
| Close | Restate the answer and what it means for practice or the field. | ~30 words |
A topic angle that works
Describe how you will present results that you do not yet have: the tables and charts you plan, how you will interpret a null result, and where you will share findings.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
My results will be presented as a run chart of weekly catheter days and a table comparing the pre and post periods.1 If the change is not statistically significant, the discussion will report implementation measures, since a protocol that was used on only half of eligible patients has not been tested fairly. Dissemination will begin on the unit and continue as a poster at a regional conference.2
