Study Questions for NRSG 965


There are several study questions that highlight major content areas of our seminar. You are to read and reply to each question prior to the course meeting date. For questions you CANNOT answer or for which you are NOT SURE, type into the list serve with a tentative answer. Then I will provide feedback through the discussion. This will give everyone a chance to read not only the answers provided by me, but also the troubled questions provided by everyone enrolled in this class.
