Take some time now to mindfully reflect over the assignments, readings, discussion board, and web site exploration activities of the course, Population Health, Epidemiology, and Statistical. Next, take a look at the narrative and rubric for the assignment: Reflection on Achievement. You will be constructing a mind map, or concept map, that relates (connects) the activities of the course to the outcome objectives provided for you on the assignment narrative. Also, review the videos provided which also explain how to create a mind map or concept map, the two terms are often used to mean the same thing.
Total Points Possible: 50 Points
Due Date: Submit your concept map by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 7.
Requirements
- Have you ever created a Web of Causation, for an undergraduate community health course perhaps? Well you are now going to create a visual model, called a Concept Map or Mind Map, which expresses a synthesis (connection) of course learning (readings, written assignments, discussion board, etc.) to the following:
- MSN Program Outcome #2:
Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused).
- MSN Essential IV:

o 5. Disseminates evidence from inquiry to diverse audiences using multiple modalities.
o 6. Analyzes clinical guidelines for individualized application into practice
- Using an online free program (see samples below), Microsoft Word, or another method, create a Concept Map, or some call it a Mind Map. Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the course meet the outcomes above.
Please search on YouTube for videos on How to Create a Concept Map or look for examples online.
Free Mapping Software:
- Canva

- You can use the features of Word in the ribbon on the top of a Word doc page also. For instance, if you click on “insert” you will see shapes and SmartArt. Or, you can use a PowerPoint slide to create a concept/mind map
Solution:
There are various ways that assignments help in achieving the course outcome. From the mind map above, assignment enhanced my critical thinking skills and research skills and through this, I was exposed to concepts relating to the course outcome. Also, the assignments required one to analyze ideas and concepts, which further reinforced knowledge related to the course outcome. Lastly, discussion and reflection required in the assignments also exposed me to the course concept thereby achieving the outcome required…Please click the Paypal icon below to purchase full solution for only $5
