with the module (e.g., Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT of Week 2 for the Collaboration Café in Module 2).
•
All Collaboration Cafés must be submitted by Monday, 11:59 p.m. MT of Module 8 with the exception of the Module 8
Collaboration Café. The due date for Module 8 is Saturday, 11:59 p.m. MT.
Total Points Possible: 50 points (30 points for some instances)

classmates during that module for a total of three postings per Collaboration Café worth 50 points, and two postings per
Collaboration Café worth 30 points.

Collaboration Café Rubric
Scholarly references are not required in the Collaboration Café discussions; however, if the student chooses to submit a reference,
APA format must be followed. There may also be times when faculty will have you review a website or article. In cases like these,
you must properly cite and reference according to APA to avoid plagiarism. In addition, proper grammar is expected. Faculty may
submit the discussion to Turnitin in order to verify originality of work. Plagiarism will result in a zero for the week. Uncivil comments
toward peers or faculty, in any of the posts, will not be tolerated and will result in a zero for the week.
A substantive post will include the following.
• Addresses the Collaboration Café question in a thorough, substantive manner
• Demonstrates application of course concepts
• Discusses implications to advanced nursing practice
• Responds to classmates with an extended description instead of merely agreeing
