Description

Preparing the Assignment

Requirements

1. The Concept Map must visually connect all of the specified objectives (Program Outcomes, MSN Essentials, and NONPF Competencies) to course work (such as specific discussion board topics, written assignments, exams, lessons, and reading content).     
2. All items should be labeled, for instance, label the objectives and label the course work you select with name of the assignment/reading/discussion board topic and which week it was introduced.
3. Use Microsoft Word or a PowerPoint to create a Concept Map. You can use the features found on the “Insert” tab of a Word doc (in the horizontal ribbon on the top of a Word doc page). For instance, if you click on “insert” you will see shapes and SmartArt. You can use a PowerPoint slide with shapes and lines to create a concept/mind map. This is not a PowerPoint presentation, but a PowerPoint slide can be used to “draw” the Map.

Outcomes/Competencies to be connected with course learning: 

MSN Program Outcome #2:

Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused).

MSN Essential VIII:

Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the course meeting the outcomes above.
