Biological study of Preventing and curing Post Tramatic Stress Disorder in Veterans
Biological study of Preventing and curing Post Tramatic Stress Disorder in Veterans
A research paper on the biological study of Preventing and curing Post Tramatic Stress Disorder in Veterans also select a strategy (e.g., hormones, neurotransmitters, physiology, imaging). paper should also include a powerpoint slide (information below).
The written report should address the biological study of a specific behavioral or mental phenomeno.
The paper is to be 7 to 10 pages, or about 1,800 words in length. It must be typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins, and fully referenced in APA forma.
The text of your paper should be preceded by an abstract (about 100 words) that summarizes the key points in the pape.
PowerPoint Presentation: The PowerPoint presentation should illustrate the area represented in your written report. The main purpose of this is to familiarize you with the most widely used state-of-the-art presentation form, to further explicate the written report, and to share your work with classmates. The PowerPoint presentation should consist of a minimum of 10 slides of the area in your written report. If you do not have access to PowerPoint, you may use a word processing package instead. Consider the following tips in preparing your PowerPoint:
- your first or second slide should be an outline of the presentation in which you identify main points and then follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation
- there should be about four or five points per slide
- use a standard font (Times Roman or Arial) and at least an 18-point font size with different sized fonts for main points and secondary points
- use a font color that contrasts sharply with the background
- use graphs rather than charts and words, and always title your graphs
- proof your slides for spelling and grammatical errors
- use a conclusion slide to summarize the main points of your presentation and to suggest future avenues of research
- avoid ending your presentation abruptly—you might end your slide with a quote, a simple question, or the next steps
As an example, the theme of your report might be imaging approaches to the study of schizophrenia. Your paper should summarize fundamental issues, questions, and controversies and provide a general overview of the topic. It should also elaborate on your understanding of the brain processes that are revealed through imaging research in schizophrenia. To accomplish this, you will have to use research articles to illustrate relevant points. You may use any of a number of resources to find research articles that deal with your topic, including the library and the Internet.
This paper is not a “commentary” or “editorial” style paper, but rather a formal research paper using scientific references as the basis for your topic. Personal experience, while sometimes relevant, should not be included for this assignment unless these experiences are linked to course concepts and the brain. Also, you should avoid using personal pronouns such as “I” or “myself” in this type of paper. The requirement for the research articles that you select is that they must have appeared in a peer-reviewed (i.e., refereed) scientific journal. (Please contact your instructor to confirm whether a particular journal is peer-reviewed.)
You must use peer-reviewed scientific articles and they must be recent, i.e., have appeared in the literature no earlier than 2010. Ten to 20 is typically a good number of articles to use for your paper. You might use the online databases from MEDLINE and PSYCH ABSTRACTS as a source of full-text articles from refereed journals. Newspaper or magazine articles should not be used as your major reference, but can be useful if they lead you to the appropriate research article. You should avoid simply repeating the articles in summary form; rather, use them within the text of your paper to illustrate important points. To ensure that you are on the right track, you should discuss with your instructor the topic and the research articles that you have chosen.
Description
The written report should address the biological study of a specific behavioral or mental
phenomenon (normal or pathological) covered in your readings. You should select a behavioral or
mental phenomenon (e.g., language, schizophrenia) and then select a biological strategy
(e.g., hormones, neurotransmitters, physiology, imaging). As an example, the theme of your
report might be imaging approaches to the study of schizophrenia. Your paper should summarize
fundamental issues, questions, and controversies and provide a general overview of the topic. It
should also elaborate on your understanding of the brain processes that are revealed through
imaging research in schizophrenia. To accomplish this, you will have to use research articles to
illustrate relevant points. You may use any of a number of resources to find research articles that
deal with your topic, including the library and the Internet.
Important information for writing discussion questions and participation
Welcome to class
Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

This paper is not a "commentary" or "editorial" style paper, but rather a formal research paper using
scientific references as the basis for your topic. Personal experience, while sometimes relevant,
should not be included for this assignment unless these experiences are linked to course concepts
and the brain. Also, you should avoid using personal pronouns such as "I" or "myself" in this type of
paper. The requirement for the research articles that you select is that they must have appeared in a
peer-reviewed (i.e., refereed) scientific journal. (Please contact your instructor to confirm whether a
particular journal is peer-reviewed.) You must use two peer-reviewed scientific articles and they
must be recent, i.e., have appeared in the literature no earlier than 2006. You might use the
online databases from MEDLINE and PSYCH ABSTRACTS as a source of full-text articles from
refereed journals. Newspaper or magazine articles should not be used as your major reference, but
can be useful if they lead you to the appropriate research article. You should avoid simply repeating
the articles in summary form; rather, use them within the text of your paper to illustrate important
points. To ensure that you are on the right track, you should discuss with your instructor the topic
and the research articles that you have chosen.
Your paper is to be 7 to 10 pages, or about 1,600 words in length. It must be typed, double-spaced,
with one-inch margins, and fully referenced in APA format (see http://www.apa.org). Check the
course schedule for your due date. Your instructor will determine a late paper policy.
The text of your paper should be preceded by an abstract (about 100 words) that summarizes the
key points in the paper (i.e., statement of problem, major findings, conclusion). All abstracts will be
posted in a conference for all students to review. You should respond to these abstracts to stimulate
discussion. Your responses will be evaluated and will constitute part of your grade for online
conference participation.
The paper will be graded on (1) content and understanding, and (2) how effectively you have
communicated your ideas in writing. You will receive a separate grade for each of these elements,
weighted equally. Content and understanding are evaluated on the basis of whether the paper (a)
identified important issues, questions, and controversies; (b) used recent and relevant research
literature to illustrate the issues; and (c) demonstrated an understanding of brain processes and how
brain research revealed an understanding of the behavior in question. Effective communication is
evaluated on the basis of (a) organization and structure that help communicate the ideas (e.g.,
headings throughout the text), (b) use of your own language and style (no cutting and pasting), (c)
connecting ideas in the text with research papers, and (d) correct usage of APA format in the text
and references.
Your paper is to be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.doc file) and formatted in APA style (please
consult the APA Style Manual, sixth edition, for proper format). Papers not in .doc file format or APA
style will not be accepted for a grade; in this case, a grade of "zero" will be assigned for the paper. It
is highly advised that you take care to use proper APA style. If you have technical issues related to
Word, please notify the instructor immediately so that an appropriate solution can be found.
