Case Study: Part I
NR535 Week 7: Case Study: Academic Integrity – Part 1
Part I of the case study opens on Sunday and will close on Wednesday of the week. You cannot add additional information to Part I once it closes on Wednesday. In this part of the case study, as chair of the Grievance Committee, you are beginning to gather information regarding a student grievance before the entire committee meets to consider the situation. To help you to gather information, you are to identify two questions for the student relevant to the grievance and two questions for the faculty member. You need to include the rationale for each of these questions. Two scholarly articles supporting this part of the discussion are to be included in the initial post. These articles are to be related to a grievance procedure, academic integrity, and/or plagiarism. At least one of these articles must be from a peer-reviewed nursing journal. Additional details regarding the Case Study: Part I are noted in the Process section.
