Assignment Before you begin the Discussion Post assignment, please review the Discussion Post Guideline. You will need to support your answers with resources (i.e. textbook, peer-reviewed journals, news articles, or any other reputable sources). Remember to provide in-text citation and a reference list. Don’t forget you will need to respond to 1 of your classmate’s post. Chapter 11 Question #1 on page 150 You are considering accepting a partnership in a primary care practice.

Care should be taken when determining what to post. This course will utilize discussions as assignments. You will respond to the online discussion questions that are posed that reflect the themes and concepts in the course for that week. You will be responsible for recapping key points, lessons learned, and important takeaways. The responses to your classmates’ postings answering Discussion Board questions should add to the substance of the posting, provide a different perspective, or challenge the assertions made by providing real or hypothetical scenarios that the original posting does not adequately address. “I agree” or “good response” type postings do not add to our collective learning and therefore do not count toward the participation requirement. The purpose of course discussions is to stimulate academic dialogue. It is a good practice to provide positive, supportive comments. Everyone appreciates relevant course discussions. Timely postings are very important because they generate further discussion. Late discussions do not contribute to the discussion and as a result will earn zero points. When preparing your responses to the Discussion Board Questions you are expected to demonstrate the highest levels (i.e., levels 4, 5, and 6) of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning, which are: 1. Knowledge: Observe and recall information. 2. Comprehension: Grasp meaning and translate to a new context. 3. Application: Use information, methods, concepts, theories in new situations. 4. Analysis: See patterns and organization of parts and recognize hidden meanings. 5. Synthesis: Use old ideas to create new ones, generalize from given facts, relate knowledge from several areas, predict, draw conclusions. 6. Evaluation: Compare and discriminate between ideas, assess the value of theories, make choices based on reasoned argument and verify the value of evidence.
