Evaluate its accuracy
Evaluate its Accuracy
Instructions
Think of one specific medical TV show, episode, or movie that you have watched. Consider the criteria you could use to evaluate its accuracy in portraying hospital protocol, medical interventions, surgeries, etc.
Write 200–250 words using the discussion prompts to guide your content based on the medical TV show, episode, or movie you chose. Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts in a substantive manner. “I agree†or “Good point†are not accepted as substantive responses to your peers.
Discussion Prompts
- How does the show or movie meet or not meet the criteria you chose? Use and cite at least one credible source to support your evaluation. Be sure to include the name of the TV show, episode, or movie you evaluated.
- What are some different ways you anticipate using evaluation skills in your future career? How might this be particularly helpful in the healthcare field?
Be sure to cite your sources in APA (7th ed.) format.
Due
- Initial post due by Wednesday, at 11:59 p.m.
- Response to two classmates’ posts due Saturday, at 11:59 p.m.
This schedule ensures that you have adequate time to prepare initial responses and to read through the posts and supply meaningful reactions that extend the conversation.
