Assignment: Application of Watson’s Theory

Question Description
Peer response should include evidence based content, and contribute to the learning environment as evidenced by: providing additional information (not found in the individual posting), and reflect thoughtful ideas which clearly communicate individual opinions. In particular, it is expected that your peer response would be about the additional nursing problem selected. Note: When responding to a peer response, include the group member’s name you are responding to. For example: “Bryan, thanks for sharing the example of the application of Watson’s theory…etc”. Peer responses should be minimum 125 words/posting. Posting Guidelines:  Posts should be single spaced and follow APA guidelines which includes an expectation that posts will be in complete sentences, grammatically correct, free of spelling errors and be supported by proper in-text citation and use of references.  References: A minimum of 2 scholarly/peer-reviewed references in addition to your textbook for your primary post and 1 for the peer response. NOTE: Theory websites are not considered scholarly references!

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
