PART 1 – EXAMPLE

Each time I teach a session of this class, I develop new ideas as to how to help my students answer the QUESTIONS of the assignments. I do know they are long and tedious at times, given the number of credits you are taking, in addition to a busy schedule.  So here are some pearls of wisdom I have gathered:

Let’s follow the path of a delicious ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and pickles as it is eaten and digested! Start at the beginning and discuss the anatomical parts  (1)  as well as the biochemical roles  (2)  that contribute to this sandwich being turned into chemical energy. Be sure to include  mechanical and chemical mechanisms  (3),  along with how they are metabolized in the body! (4)

What happens if that part does not function?  (5) For this portion of the question. Select any part of the GI system that may not function and discuss what may happen. It does not have to be the teeth. This is just an example.  For example, what happens to digestion if the person is missing many teeth but can’t afford dentures, or perhaps has a digestive disorder?

1. What stress factors may cause issues in the digestive tract for some people?  (5)

2. How can a regular exercise program aid in the development of a healthy digestive tract?  (6)

3. How might digestion and metabolism be different over the lifespan?  (7)

Ask yourself: “What does my rubric say?” Look closely at the rubric criteria:

Postings apply concepts to professional practice, personal experience, or examples from healthcare delivery system.  Using this criteria answer in detail (one or two sentences are not detailed) numbers 1 to 7 above. All of the questions should be answered in the initial post. The second post is to another student post that adds to that student post. “Good job”. “Excellent” is not acceptable. A second post should be about 4 or 5 detailed sentences with citations and references.

Postings integrate assigned readings, lessons, expert opinion,  and outside professional resources (articles or websites). Sources are referenced.   Be sure to include information from your textbook, lesson sections, and outside sources. Pay attention to APA format. Use citations and references. Appropriate citations and references in your discussion posts help when you have to submit your assignments especially the Unit 5 Team Assignment.

Actively responds to peers and engages in meaningful and respectful dialogue with them.  This addresses responses to the instructor and peers. A good rule of thumb is to answer in detail in your first response all of the questions posted and respond to peers or instructor comments in your second post. If your post is late or you include only one post, points will be deducted because there cannot be meaningful interactions. 

Presents information using clear and logical language. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are accurate.  This addresses clear, logical information that is free of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. A post that is not inclusive of all details or only one post will not receive full points.

Participation Requirement : You are required to post a minimum of two substantive posts in each graded topic. These two posts must be on 2 separate days, and the first post in each graded topic must be completed by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. mountain time (MT) in Weeks 1 to 7 and the second post must be completed by Sunday 11:59 MT. In Week 8, both discussions must be completed by Saturday at 5 p.m. 

A pearl of wisdom is to write the posts in your own words and use citations and references. Here is an example of answering part of the question above (you will answer all questions – this is just an example) using original words and citing and referencing from an article (website) and the textbook: (*Note – this example was borrowed from Dr. Prashad)

According to Grodner, Escott-Stump, & Dorner (2020), long before the mechanical and chemical processes involved with digestion begins, there are stimuli that will influence the selection, digestion, and absorption of nutrients. I will use my personal experiences as I only will eat a ham and cheese sandwich if it is part of a meal at a conference or meeting. I am at a nursing conference which started at 8am. I had a cup of coffee and half of a multigrain bagel. Based on my personal preference, the donuts and pastrie
