Case Study Discussion
Purpose
The purpose of the graded collaborative discussions is to engage faculty and students in an interactive dialogue to assist the student in organizing, integrating, applying, and critically appraising knowledge regarding psychopharmacology. Scholarly information obtained from credible sources as well as professional communication are required. Application of information to professional experiences promotes the analysis and use of principles, knowledge, and information learned and related to real-life professional situations. Meaningful dialogue among faculty and students fosters the development of a learning community as ideas, perspectives, and knowledge are shared.

Application of Course Knowledge
Select one drug to treat the diagnosis(es) or symptoms.

Provide a minimum of three appropriate medication-related teaching points for the client and/or family.
2. Integration of Evidence: The student post provides support from a minimum of one scholarly in-text citation in addition to the textbook.
3. Engagement in Meaningful Dialogue: The student responds to a student peer and course faculty to further dialogue.
Peer Response: The student responds substantively to at least one topic-related post by a student peer who discussed a different drug than the student’s initial post. A substantive post adds content or insights or asks a question that will add to the learning experience and/or generate discussion.
Faculty Response: The student responds substantively to at least one question by course faculty. The faculty question may be directed to the student, to another student, or the entire class.
4. Professionalism in Communication: The post presents information in a logical, meaningful, and understandable sequence, and is relevant to the discussion topic.
Grammar, spelling, and/or punctuation are accurate.
Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 10 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion.
5. Reference Citation: References have complete information as required by APA (0-1 errors). In-text citations included for all references, AND references are included for all in-text citations (0 errors).
6. Wednesday Participation Requirement: The student provides a substantive response to the graded discussion question(s) or topic(s), posted by the course faculty(not a response to a peer), by Wednesday,11:59 p.m. MT of each week.
