Week 1
discussion
Relying on Data
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing
relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial
response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and
also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your
sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your
classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your
classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a
question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view
with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a
relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite
sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for
this assignment by the end of the week.
Tasks
In order for data to be reliable there are several
conditions that need to be met—accurate, timely, and complete. Share an example
of when you had to make a decision using data that were not accurate, timely,
or complete.
