Psychology Discussion Requirements
1. You are required to have 3 posts in each discussion and these three posts must be made on three separate days. The first post is the initial response to the question that appropriately and completely addresses the topic. This must be completed by 11:59 p.m.(EST) Thursday night. It is best to post it at the beginning of the week. The remaining two posts are responses to two different classmates. The first response to a classmate is due Saturday at 11:59 p.m.(EST) and the second response to a classmate is due on Sunday at 11:59 p.m.(EST). Responses to me do not count as a response to another student; however, I will interact with each of you throughout the course. I encourage you to respond back. If you do not post on three separate days you will lose points (possible 15 point deduction).
*There will be a deduction of 5 points per day that the initial post is late. Posts are not accepted after the week closes on Sunday night.
2. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting. There will be a deduction of 20 points for failure to cite a source within your initial post and to provide a reference at the end of your initial post.
3. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words and each response must be a minimum of 200 words. Please double-check your word count. Only posts that meet the word count requirements receive credit.
4. Post your word count at the end of each post. There will be a 5 point deduction for each failure to provide a word count.
5. Please address fellow students and professor by name. There will be a 5 point deduction for each failure to address by name.

Professionalism is a very serious matter in your online class at Keiser University and in the field of psychology. Our mission is to provide you with an education that prepares you to succeed in the workplace and in graduate programs.
Please use the following guidelines in our discussion forum and in all communication at Keiser University:
I will “listen” to others respectfully.
I recognize that online learning is devoid of physical cues that often support communication and will strive to use language that clearly expresses my views.
I will strive to utilize language that is thoughtful, respectful, and collegial when communicating with my fellow students.
When I disagree with someone, I will critique his/her ideas in a respectful and constructive manner.
I will try to understand other people’s behaviors and perspectives rather than simply criticize them.
I will avoid stereotypes and humor that is disparaging of others.
I will avoid texting language, slang, or other non-professional communication.
Week 1 Topic:
“Investigating Heredity” (Garrett & Hough, 2022, p. 111).
Neuropsychology is above all a science. As such, those who work in the field use the scientific method to understand the brain and our behaviors. The role of genetics and the environment cannot be denied in mental or physical disorders. However, how we test certain areas or apply the findings of the research can have serious ethical implications.
Questions to discuss:
What are some of the methods we use to study neuroscience?
What can be some of the ethical issues that must be addressed when doing research/experiments? (Garrett & Hough, 2022, 116).
Consider stem cell therapy. Why is this considered an “unethical procedure” for some? Should we continue the use of stem cells? Why or why not? (Garrett & Hough, 2022, p. 20).
