Discussion: Podcast Evaluation
Discussion: Podcast Evaluation
Question Description
Students will use the Podcast Evaluation Form to assess the podcast’s integrity. The form’s first page contains information about the Web source. Using APA format, describe the main points presented in the Podcast in at least 200 words. The main points are discussed. Students will gain experience searching the Web for Healthcare Information Technology Podcasts. Students will evaluate the quality of the Podcast’s design and information. This assignment does not call for podcasts on diagnosis, disease processes, nursing techniques, treatments, or procedures. A Podcast that is not directly related to Health Care Technology and does not focus on nursing diagnosis, disease processes, nursing treatments, or nursing interventions is inappropriate.
You should proofread your paper. However, do not rely solely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part, and your grade will suffer as a result. Papers with a high number of misspelled words and grammatical errors will be penalized. Before submitting your paper, go over it in silence and then aloud, and make any necessary changes. It is often beneficial to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Uncorrected mistakes are preferable to handwritten corrections.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point typeface (10 to 12 characters per inch). Smaller or compressed type, as well as papers with narrow margins or single spacing, are difficult to read. It is preferable to allow your essay to exceed the recommended number of pages rather than attempting to compress it into fewer pages.
Large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are also unacceptable, waste trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced, and have a one-inch margin on all four sides of each page. When submitting hard copies, use white paper and print with dark ink. It will be difficult to follow your argument if it is difficult to read your essay.
