Whas The Problem Discussion2
Week 2: Ready, Set, Stop: Approaches and the Problem Set-Up
Problem solving can take you down a path filled with continuous forks or junctions; choosing one direction or approach over another might significantly alter the outcome, or become an alternative route to the same destination. Recognize that the path you choose is one of many paths that may lead to a good solution.
In this week, you continue to explore problem- solving approaches. In addition, you address hypothesis creation, causation and correlation, and intuition and how these topics relate to the problem-solving process.

Assignment 1: Begin Your Journey With Problem Statements
Have you ever tried to solve a problem but the solution did not work out? What went wrong? Oftentimes, we solve problems through trial and error. This type of approach may be appropriate for simple problems when a bad decision may not have great consequences. However, when problems are complex and you anticipate that the consequences of your decisions may have a significant impact, you must plan your decision carefully. This planning may include considering how you addressed a type of problem in the past or considering multiple approaches.

As you begin this week, consider how you make sense of the problems in your life. How do you identify a problem? Would someone else have a different perspective concerning your problem? Problems do not typically arrive in tidy, organized packages, nor do they arrive at convenient times. Whether your problems are complex or simple, well defined or messy, this unit will help you begin to analyze the nature of problems and apply analytic and creative approaches to those problems.

PSYCHOLOGY DISCUSSION 2
Week 2: Brain-Behavior Relationships
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
Robert Frost
This is an amusing quote; however, it is scientifically incorrect. Yes, your brain is a wonderful organ, but it never really stops working. We are able to interact with our world through our nervous system, which is comprised of our brain and all the nerve cells in the rest of the body. The nervous system and our endocrine system, involved in secreting hormones through our bloodstream, both communicate messages that influence behavior and many aspects of our biological functioning.
This week you learn how the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and endocrine system interact to communicate within the body. You will also learn about how our bodies sense things from the environment and transform and organize that sensation into meani

PSYCHOLOGY DISCUSSION 1
Week 1: Psychology as a Science
Welcome to Introduction to Psychology! Are you excited to embark on this journey together? The roots of psychology reach back to ancient times. As you can imagine, theories about human behavior and mental process have evolved and grown since then. This course introduces you to some of those theories and the tools that psychologists use to uncover the secrets of how the brain is connected to our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
By the end of this term, you will learn to think like a psychologist by taking a scientific approach to understanding observable behaviors and internal experiences such as feelings, sensations, and perceptions. As you progress through the course, you may find many of your current beliefs about behavior and internal experiences do not hold up to the test of science. That is good! That means you are learning to think like a psychologist. Please watch this video introduction to learn more about psy

ASSIGNMENT2
Discussion: Techniques of Development
In order to craft an effective and interesting short story, a writer must be able to help the reader visualize the setting and understand the movement in the story. A loss of the story's realistic nature could mean the loss of a reader. Writers often create this context by describing the details visible to the characters and using narration to relate the background to what is happening in the story. In this Discussion, you will examine how established writers use the development techniques of setting, plot, and time to create an effective story.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the assigned portions of Chapters 5, 9, and 10 in Shaping the Story.
Review the following short stories and look for the techniques of time, setting, and plot:
- Louise Erdrich, The Red Convertible in Shaping the Story.
- Chopin, K., & Knights, P. (2000). The Awakening, and Other Stories

Discusion
Discussion: Exploring the Concept of a "Story"
In Chapter 2 of Shaping the Story, Mark Baechtel observes that "The reader's mind is the writer's partner..." (p. 25). The ideas you bring to your writing are inextricably tied to your audience, since you will be constantly keeping them in mind as you write. In what ways can fiction affect its readers, and how do established writers use creative writing elements to impact their audiences? For this Discussion, you will examine elements of short stories to prepare you to begin your own short story, keeping your readers in mind.
To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review the assigned portions of Part I introduction and Chapter 1 in Shaping the Story, and begin to think about where your story will come from and what will make it a story.
