The purpose of this Discussion Board assignment is to encourage you to make connections between the topics “States of Consciousness”, “Sensation and Perception”, “Thinking and Intelligence”, and “Learning” and your own life. You may complete this in Weeks 2 or 3. However, to get the discussion going, I will give 3 extra credit points to the first 10 students to post their response.
Response (please number each part of your response)
1. Choose a specific term, theory or concept covered in Chapter 4-7. Summarize it in a concise yet informative manner. (The topic should be more specific than the general topic of each chapter.)
2. Describe how it applies to you or your world around you
3. Describe how you can use the knowledge about the topic to improve your world or the world around you. (The term, theory, or concept you choose must be different than the ones chosen for the “Video Application Assignment”.)
4. Finally, post a question to your fellow classmates to stimulate discussion on your topic.
Reply (Can be posted through the end of Section B)
You should read and reply to the post of one of your classmates. Your reply should include an analysis if the course concept was accurately described and applied. It should also encourage further discussion.
Important note: Before completing the Discussion Board assignments, familiarize yourself with the criteria provided on the grading criteria/rubric. Note that responses should be at least 400-500 words in length. Your reply to your classmate should be at least 200-300 words.
