What NURS 600 covers
The course reads Oermann and Gaberson's Evaluation and Testing in Nursing Education from start to finish, with two open-book quizzes in Weeks 2 and 7 and three discussion forums in Weeks 3 to 5 that require a 500-word thread and two 250-word replies.
Every written assignment needs three or more pages of body text and three or more outside references, with the textbook and Scripture not counted among them. The two reflection papers run five pages each with four to six references, written in the first person. The Philosophy of Clinical Evaluation Paper in Week 6 runs seven to ten pages with at least five references beyond the textbook and the Bible.
This course will cover various formative and summative evaluation strategies for assessment of student learning outcomes in the classroom, clinical, and laboratory settings. Attention will be given to social/legal/ethical issues, students with disabilities, and cultural diversity.

Where NURS 600 papers lose points
Work in NURS 600 loses points when assessment tools are described rather than built, when item analysis numbers are reported without interpretation, and when a philosophy of evaluation states beliefs without showing how they would change what an educator does on a clinical day.
