NURS 4000 and NURS 4001 Research & Scholarship for Evidence-Based Practice Week 4
NURS 4000 and NURS 4001 Research & Scholarship for Evidence-Based Practice Week 4: Write Your Rough Draft
You have a big project due in Week 5. Remember to get started on the assignment early so that you are not researching, reading, and writing all at the last minute.
Here are some tips for approaching this project:
Download the NURS 4000 Week 5 Application Rubric and use it as a guide.
Allow for a very rough draft.
If you find that you are not meeting the 6-7-page requirement, read through your current draft, noting
topics that you can split into subtopics
paragraphs that are underdeveloped (fewer than 3 sentences)
any evidence that you have not adequately explained
opportunities for additional library research
Include information from at least seven sources and give the authors credit.
Build in time for review and revision.
