Week 1 Forum Click “View Full Description” here to view the forum general posting instructions. Click “View Full Description” under the Forum Topic title for topic requirements. View Full Description Hide Full Description Forum General Posting Requirements: The following are general requirements for all of the course forums. They are included on each forum for easy reference. Click this forum’s topic to view topic-specific requirements. Your “Initial Post” is the post to be posted in response to each forum topic’s instructions. It is due by Wednesday by 11:55p.m., Eastern Time (ET). The initial post length requirement is 300 words. It is to be posted before replies to classmates. Two replies to classmates’ initial posts of your choice are due no later than Sunday by 11:55p.m. ET. Reply length requirements are 150 words each. In preparing your initial posts you will use the course textbook and published articles along with web sources as assigned per forum topic. Quoting is not permitted in forum posts and if included will result in point loss. This is because we are having a conversation and you are demonstrating the meaning you make of learning materials rather than an ability to incorporating quotes into your writing (this is something you will do in essay and research paper composition in future courses; just not on the forums here). Instructors in other courses may require forum post source crediting with citations of published materials and it is important to attend to their requirements to avoid point loss, but forum post source citation is not required for forum posting in our class. This, again, is because we are engaging in conversation that happens to be in writing form, not composing essays or research papers. You will, however, need to paraphrase (restate in your own words) the words of published authors in parts of your posts that are based on their work. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it found in PSYC101 coursework, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for resubmission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar’s Office per University policy. Forums are graded activities with post content and length requirements, the latter of which ensures that the dialogs are substantial. Participation in the dialogs is part of the points possible for your forum work but not all. Posts are graded for evidence of engagement with required learning materials and critical thinking, and making an effort to contribute to the conversation with posts of a substantive nature and replies to classmates that show thoughtful consideration of their comments and expressed ideas rather than “I agree with you” type statements or repeating your own ideas posted in your initial posts or thoughts already posted by fellow learners. While forums are conversations, rather than essay writing assignments, posts need to have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting style writing or slang used. The grading rubric below details specific grading criteria. Forum Grading Rubric NOTE: The information below refers to 100% instructions compliance and exemplary meeting of posting criteria. Your forum work will be scored for the degree to which it meets these criteria. Forum posts will be graded using the following rubric. Below 90 percent of required length posts will receive a point deduction corresponding to the length deficit before grading for other posting instructions compliance. Ex: A post that is 89 percent of required length can earn a maximum of 89 percent of the points possible and may earn less if it is not otherwise instructions compliant such as not answering all the topic questions. Forum Scoring Rubric Points Possible Initial Post Content Initial posts are on-topic, show evidence of engagement with assigned learning materials, demonstrate meaning of the material rather than merely reiterating what a published author or classmate has already stated. 10 Initial Post Format Initial posts are a minimum of 300 words in length, show clarity and good organization of ideas, and use correct spelling and grammar; texting style writing and slang are not used. 10 Reply Posts Reply posts, each a minimum of 150 words in length, are posted in response to a minimum of 2 classmates and are compliant with instructions posted on each forum.

Post your Week 1 Forum posts here. View Full Description Hide Full Description Per University policy, students who do not complete the Week 1 Forum work by its deadlines are auto-dropped from the course. Instructors don’t have authority to re-enroll auto-dropped students, so it is critical that you post on time to the Week 1 Forum. Below are the Week 1 Forum Topic instructions. General posting requirements can be viewed by clicking the Week 1 Forum “View Full Description” link on the Forums screen. This forum has two parts, both of which need to be posted in a single post. Part 1 Before responding to the questions below, review in Chapter 1 of the course textbook the five major theoretical perspectives on the causes of behavior that are present in psychology today, which include the biological, learning, cognitive, sociocultural, and psychodynamic. After completing this reading assignment, using the “Post New Conversation” link at the top of the discussion Topic screen, respond to the following questions. After completing Part 1, continue to Part 2. Part 1 Topic Questions Who are you and what name do you prefer to be called (first, second, nickname)? Where are you from and currently residing or stationed? What are your current and/or future educational aspirations and goals? What are your learning goals for this course? Learning goals should be more than doing your best and earning a satisfactory grade. Everyone should have those goals. Share what you hope to take away from the course as learning you can use. What prior knowledge do you have about the field of psychology and on what sources is it based? It’s okay to say TV, movies, magazines, and other popular media if it has been your source. We want to candidly share here because this can be great baseline measure for comparing before- and after-course knowledge and insight. Which of the theoretical perspectives that you read about in Chapter 1 of the textbook do you believe does the best job of explaining human behavior and why? You don’t have to be a psychologist or other behavioral science expert to respond to this question. It is asking you to answer based on the meaning you have made of the assigned readings. How can knowledge of psychology benefit you in either your personal or professional life? Part 2 Topic Questions The course textbook discusses several research approaches, including case studies, observational studies, surveys, and experiments. Think of a research topic you are interested in learning more about. Based on your reading describe what method you would undertake in researching this topic and briefly outline how this methodology works and how you would use it to research your topic of interest. What drew you to this method? What are the strengths and weaknesses of this type of research? Then, when responding to your classmates for the minimum of two replies requirement, take their research topic of interest and apply another type of research approach to the study of the topic they chose and explain why you chose the approach you did. Be sure to choose classmate topics for which you can identify two different types of research; replying twice with the same type of research isn’t permitted. Which do you think would work better and why? To help jump start this part of the discussion, here is an example: Say you are interested in the research question of whether men or women approach each other first in social situations where they do not know one another. You might have an opinion based on personal experience but you want to avoid the likely unintentional bias toward one’s own experience and ideas that such might cause, so you are going to conduct a research study. To research this, one might choose naturalistic observation, which could require going into nightclubs and taking note of what you observe men and women doing. Another approach to this question would be to give out a survey to see how men and women respond to the question of whether they approach the other. There are no right or wrong answers but all posts should include concepts from and source credit course material as support for the method selected.

View Full Description Hide Full Description In preparation for this Forum visit the Big Five Personality Quiz website at http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ and take its short quiz which assesses the five areas of the Big 5 Trait Theory of Personality. You will be asked about your perception of yourself in a variety of situations. Answer without thinking too much or trying to manipulate results by selecting particular answers. When you have completed the quiz, you will be given a report on how you score in each of the five areas of personality. After taking this short, interactive quiz, respond to the following questions. Be sure to check before posting that you have answered all of the questions, that you are basing your statements on textbook readings where required and that your post meets the general posting requirements located under the “View Full Description” link below the main Forum heading. What did the Big Five personality quiz tell you about who you are? Answer this question using the language of the “OCEAN” report the website provides after quiz completion, but do not just copy the report results into your post; instead paraphrase (restate in your own words) the results. Do you think the results accurately or inaccurately portray how you see your personality? Using specifics, explain why or why not? Thinking back to your experiences growing up, what would you say were the biggest influences on your personality development? In answering this question, relate specific aspects of your personality described in the personality quiz OCEAN results to particular growing up influences. After answering the above questions, finish your initial post by completing the three below statements, describing as you complete them the key features of the theory of personality you select, naming the theorist who developed the theory, and explaining, matching those specifics to your particular personality characteristics, why you selected that particular theory.

After reading about the theories of dreaming, visit the website, Dream Moods at http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/ On this website, you will find a “Dream Dictionary” where you can look up the meaning of a dream. It can be a dream you had or a dream about which someone else, friends, family members, co-workers, told you. NOTE: In selecting a dream keep in mind that, whether they have meanings or not, some dreams can be deeply personal and sometimes upsetting to the dreamer and that the Dream Dictionary represents the unsubstantiated opinions of the its developers. What, if anything, you disclose about a personal dream is up to you and the fact that the Dream Dictionary and other products like it lack scientific back is actually part of the learning experience here as we consider if any value is added to our self-understanding by such websites and whether they might even have a potential negative impact. After you have looked up the dream you selected, respond to the following questions: What was the dream that you used with the Dream Dictionary about (if you are not comfortable disclosing the dream skip this question and start with the next one). What did the Dream Dictionary say about the dream’s meaning? How might this fit into what you learned about dreaming in the chapter readings? What dream theory would the dream best fall under? Do you believe that dreams have real meaning? Why or why not? Do you see any problems associated with the Dream Dictionary and other websites like it? For example, might uninformed people reading about the dream meanings assume they accurately apply to their dreams; or is there anything about the website that might make one question its credibility (what about that ad for a psychic on the main screen, for example)?

One of the most influential psychologists in the area of memory and eye witness testimony is Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, who has spent three decades as a research psychologist and memory expert in legal cases. To learn more about the controversy surrounding “false memory syndrome,” visit the online LA Weekly website at http://www.laweekly.com/2004-08-19/news/memory-and-manipulation/ to read the article, “ Memory and Manipulation .” Based on the points that the Loftus article brings up and our textbook readings this week, what kind of implications do particular limitations of human memory have on the use of eye-witness testimony in criminal and civil court cases? Forum General Posting Requirements: The following are general requirements for all of the course forums. They are included on each forum for easy reference. Click this forum’s topic to view topic-specific requirements. Your “Initial Post” is the post to be posted in response to each forum topic’s instructions. It is due by Wednesday by 11:55p.m., Eastern Time (ET). The initial post length requirement is 300 words. It is to be posted before replies to classmates. Two replies to classmates’ initial posts of your choice are due no later than Sunday by 11:55p.m. ET. Reply length requirements are 150 words each. In preparing your initial posts you will use the course textbook and published articles along with web sources as assigned per forum topic. Quoting is not permitted in forum posts and if included will result in point loss. This is because we are having a conversation and you are demonstrating the meaning you make of learning materials rather than an ability to incorporating quotes into your writing (this is something you will do in essay and research paper composition in future courses; just not on the forums here). Instructors in other courses may require forum post source crediting with citations of published materials and it is important to attend to their requirements to avoid point loss, but forum post source citation is not required for forum posting in our class. This, again, is because we are engaging in conversation that happens to be in writing form, not composing essays or research papers. You will, however, need to paraphrase (restate in your own words) the words of published authors in parts of your posts that are based on their work. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it found in PSYC101 coursework, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for resubmission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar’s Office per University policy. Forums are graded activities with post content and length requirements, the latter of which ensures that the dialogs are substantial. Participation in the dialogs is part of the points possible for your forum work but not all. Posts are graded for evidence of engagement with required learning materials and critical thinking, and making an effort to contribute to the conversation with posts of a substantive nature and replies to classmates that show thoughtful consideration of their comments and expressed ideas rather than “I agree with you” type statements or repeating your own ideas posted in your initial posts or thoughts already posted by fellow learners. While forums are conversations, rather than essay writing assignments, posts need to have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting style writing or slang used. The grading rubric below details specific grading criteria. Forum Grading Rubric NOTE: The information below refers to 100% instructions compliance and exemplary meeting of posting criteria. Your forum work will be scored for the degree to which it meets these criteria. Forum posts will be graded using the following rubric. Below 90 percent of required length posts will receive a point deduction corresponding to the length deficit before grading for other posting instructions compliance. Ex: A post that is 89 percent of required length can earn a maximum of 89 percent of the points possible and may earn less if it is not otherwise instructions compliant such as not answering all the topic questions.
