  • Title: Improving Your Sleep: Realistic and Effective Changes to Make for Better Rest

    Write a 5 paragraph essay answering the question “What would be the most effective and realistic changes you could make to improve your sleep?” 
    Begin by doing some preliminary online research on effective ways of improving your sleep. You should come up with at least 4 ways you could improve (3 will be your sub-claims and 1 will be your counter-claim), and have 2 pieces of evidence that support each of the 3 sub-claims and 1 piece for your counter-claim (these should be fact based ie. patients who slept with toe warmers decreased the number of times they woke up at night by 3,000%). Next you should begin working on your introductory paragraph by giving backstory regarding your current sleeping habits as shown by your Sleep Log ( I atteched the file of my sleep log so you can see), defining sleep, and explaining the importance of getting good sleep. End your introductory paragraph by writing a thesis using the 4 ways you could improve that you already identified. Each of the 3 body paragraphs should begin with a topic sentence and include 2 pieces of evidence supporting that method of improvement, as well as an explanation of why each piece of evidence supports the use of that method of improvement. End your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your essay in approximately 3 sentences.

  • Understanding Gender Differences in Personality: Exploring Theories and Observations Title: Understanding Gender Differences in Personality: Exploring Theories and Observations Gender differences in personality have long been a topic of interest and debate in the field of psychology.

    Gender Differences in Personality
    This week, your discussion assignment is about male and female differences in personality. What male and female differences in personality have you observed and where do you think they come from (e.g., are they learned, inborn, etc.)? NOTE: If you believe more than one personality theory explains male/female differences, give concrete examples. Link the theory you choose solidly to the personality differences you describe to provide evidence of your thorough comprehension of your selected theory by your accurate application of it rather than just picking a theory by name and listing characteristics believed by the general public to differ between genders. You must describe how the theory you choose explains specific differences.
    Also, required for each Discussion are three (3) replies to at least three different classmates. ( student discussions are attached, mention names with the replies).
