Keiser University Human Anatomy and Physiology Discussion

RESEARCH (Label this section)

• Teach the topic to students. Responses must add new information not previously discussed. Consider new factual information tied with critical thinking. Share interesting and current research on the topic.
• Use APA citations in the post to clarify sources.
• Do not simply summarize another student’s post and agree/disagree.
• Consider starting out posts with, “A research article I found said,” “Did you know,” or “Three things I found interesting were… .”

CRITICAL THINKING (Label this section)

• Pose new possibilities or opinions not previously voiced.
• Connect the dots. Why is this an important topic for you, your community, society, or the world? How does it relate to other concepts in the text?
• Add references and word count for all posts.

Important Notes

• Work cannot be deleted or edited once posted.
• Work is graded based on the rubrics.
• Posts should be completed over three different days (for example, Tue, Wed, Thu).
• It is encouraged that your initial post be posted by Wednesday to keep you on track for the week, and all posts must be complete by Sunday at 11:59 pm each week.
• See late policy in announcements to see limitations.Topics for Selection
