As you work on your capstone project proposal, you will want
to share your progress with your peers and instructor and seek or provide
guidance or share insights. By the due date assigned, go to the Discussion Area
and post responses to the discussion question. All responses should be posted
to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. It is important to support
what you say with relevant citations in the APA format from both the course
materials and outside resources. Include the South University online library in
your research activities utilizing not only the nursing resource database, but
also those pertaining to education, business, and human resources.
Supporting one—Challenging one.
By the end of the week, comment on the responses of at least
two other students by supporting a minimum of one post and challenging a
minimum of one post. You will want to
focus on their point of view, asking pertinent questions, adding to the
responses by including information from other sources, and respectfully
challenging a point of view, supported by references to other sources. Be
objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language. All comments
should be posted to the appropriate topic in this Discussion Area. Please only
start a new thread with your original post. Hit reply to respond to a peer.
