Participation Expectations
For each discussion activity, you are responsible for posting at least one substantive initial response to the discussion questions posed, as well, as a reply to at least two other postings made by your classmates.
Your initial substantive posting should be a thoughtful reflection on at least one aspect of the discussion theme or question posed and can either initiate a line of discussion or be in response to someone else’s posting (i.e., adding your own perspective or additional research to it). Keep in mind that quality is better than quantity and “me too” and “I agree” type postings add little to the conversation. Your postings should demonstrate that you have read and thought about the course material. You are encouraged to reference your course textbook in your postings as well as other relevant outside literature.
Some points to keep in mind:
Be clear and to the point in your postings.
Edit your work. Your posts should be coherent and use proper grammar and spelling.
Keep postings to 300-350 words. Quality is better than quantity.
Contribute your own thoughts about the material you have read.
Support your thoughts by referencing the textbook or other outside literature.
Raise additional questions or points of discussion to stimulate further discussion.
If you have questions, show that you have already tried to find a solution.
Respect the viewpoints of your peers. Ask for clarification if you don’t understand a point. Assume good intentions.
Use the proper terminology introduced in the course readings.
When using literature in your postings, make sure to provide references in proper APA Style.
Show respect and sensitivity to peers’ gender, cultural and linguistic background, political, and religious beliefs.
You are strongly encouraged to take the time to review the following documents on writing quality discussion posting and on taking roles in discussions.
PREPARING TO WRITE
1. Read assigned material—critically—and take notes as you read: Who wrote this material (a respected expert? an activist with a specific aim or belief?) Do they have any possible biases? Are studies reliable and valid? (What kind of research was performed?) When was this material written? Are the definitions/conditions/opinions described still accur vant? ate/rele Is an opinion expressed? How might someone disagree? How does this material relate to other concepts and theories you are studying? (Remember, instructors choose readings with a plan in mind—try to imagine why they have assigned this reading) Does the article complement other things you have learned? Is it in opposition? 2. Read and understand the discussion question or topic provided by your instructor • What are you asked to do? (Formulate an opinion? Respond to a question? Explain a concept or theory?) • How are you asked to do this? What kind of information are you expected to include (e.g., supporting quotations or references, examples, etc.) Do you need to bring in outside research? 3. Sort out the finer details • Is there a word maximum? Minimum? (Most posts will be 1‐2 paragraphs maximum). • How many times are you expected to post? (Find out if you are required to post a certain number of times per question, per week, etc.) • How much of your grade is this component worth?Each post? Budget your time accordingly
A.re you expected to respond to other students’ posts? What proportion of original posts versus responses are you asked to provide?
INITIAL POSTS – An initial post is a response to the original question presented by the course instructor, or the opening post on a particular topic (i.e., not responding to other students’ posts). Consider each post a “mini‐thesis,” in which you state a position and provide support for it. If you are responding to a question, be sure to 1. Take a position: Provide a clear answer to the question (incorporate some of the wording of the question in your answer if possible). 2. Offer a reasoned argument: Provide an explanation for your point of view, and use evidence from your text, notes, or outside research (where appropriate) to support your point. 3. Stay focused: End with a summary comment to explain the connection between your evidence and the question (how your evidence proves your point). Your post might also introduce a question or idea that others can follow up on. But make sure you have answered the question first!

Assignment Content In Week 1, you learned about theories in relation to cognition and learning. This week we continue our focus on several learning techniques and models in relation to cognitivism. You will have the opportunity to distinguish psychological theories of learning in this assessment. In doing so, you can apply this knowledge and skills to life and the workplace. These life skills are reflected in your ability to interview for a job, communicate in the workplace, learn new information, and so on. Imagine you are working in the training department at your company and are asked to present to your manager the different learning theories and which best fits their training plan. You will present how your chosen theory/model can be applied in the workplace through improving learning strategies, communication, or memory. See attached article. The article will provide the information for your presentation to your training department. Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation in which you include the following: Describe the premise of the study (conceptual framework). Explain the results of the study. Describe the model or theory of learning applied in the study. Discuss 3 things you learned that will apply to your training plan. Provide the rationale as to why. Provide examples of scenarios in which these different models can be applied in the workplace. Include speaker notes that explain the content on slide.

“Alzheimer’s Disease is a neurocognitive disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills and at a point causes a person to not be able to perform simple tasks. Alzheimer’s develops at around age 65 and “is currently ranked as the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and is the most common cause of dementia among older adults” (nia.nih.gov). Alzheimers is a progressive disease and patients symtoms will likely increase and progress over multiple years. Patients with Alzheimers usually live “4-8 years after diagnosis but can live as long as 20 years” (alz.org).
Causes
The causes of Alzheimers arent truly known but the memory loss is caused by the diminish of brain mass. Alzheimers causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die along with the loss of neruons. The most probabable cause of alzheimers is genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Alzheimers is also currently being reserached to be linked to type 3 diabetes but researchers aren’t sure as of right now.”
