Homework.
There are 25 points for this module's homework. (No quiz again this week). a.) 5 points
for the individual homework via e-mail, b.) 10 points for the problems
via e-mail, c.) 8 points for the group homework, d.) 2 points for the message
to the instructor. All are described more below and at the end of the learning
module.
a.) Individual Homework.
Write answers for Material Review Questions 1 and 8, Class Discussion Questions
12 and 13. Combine them with the message to the instructor (see below). Send
them via e-mail. I will grade these and send them back via e-mail.
b.) Problem Solving Homework. See the detailed instructions at the end of the learning module about submitting problems 3, 7, and 10.
c.) Group Homework
We will use the Group Discussion to discuss a slightly modified version of Class
Discussion Question 15 and the Critical Care Hospital incident. The forums were
started: Module10 Question 15, and Module 10 Critical Care. On the forum is
the name of the "Project Manager" (PM) for that forum. You may work
as a team in any way that you like, but the PM for that forum is responsible
for gathering the final answers and presenting them.
d.) Message to the Instructor
Send the instructor a message in the e-mail used to submit homework. Write a message to
the instructor in Word. The message should include the answers to two questions:
1) What was the most useful or meaningful thing you learned from this module,
and 2) what was the "muddiest" (least clear) item in the module. Some
extra credit may be provided for pointing out any typo's or glitches in the material.
