Assignment: Online Resources in the Health Field
In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.
-Neil Armstrong, astronaut
Online learning and research presents many challenges, just the same as traditional learning. These challenges include finding reliable, current, and legitimate scholarly resources. You may already have favorite online resources and databases that you use or have found useful in the past. As you begin your program of study, you will identify many resources you may rely on for current peer-reviewed information.
For this Assignment, review your Learning Resources, then research and locate one peer-reviewed article in the Walden Library. This may include a resource identified in this course and accessed through the Walden Library, as well as one not mentioned in this course.
The topic of your article should be an issue that is important to you and related to your health field. It should be different from the topic you chose for your initial posting to the Week 2 Discussion 2.
Note: In grading every required Assignment, your Instructor uses an Assignment Rubric, located in the Course Information area. Review the applicable rubric prior to completing your assignment.
