Reminders
**Make sure you upload your Word .doc or .docx document into the system for consideration of credit. Uploading an actual paper is required (not links, comments, Google docs links, inaccessible attachments, drafts, etc.) for consideration of credit as reminded in the course since the onset. The document must be uploaded into the system for review and viewing, not linked, uploaded as a separate document, emailed, private messaged, or otherwise not uploaded as a Word .doc or .docx document as required into the system for Safeassign and grading viewing. A paper left in draft is not considered for credit. If the paper is released from draft such that it is fully accessible in the system and otherwise meets guidelines within the grading/late policy window, it will be considered for credit with deductions according to the late policy.
As with all assignments, you are also required to very briefly cite in the body of the writing as well as reference from the required Rooney and Evans (2019) readings for content consideration. Other sources should not be used here beyond the use of the one current (no more than a few years old) peer reviewed journal article of a primary scientific study from the library or PMC. Credit consideration will be based on your substantive review of the current peer reviewed journal article of an actual primary scientific study journal article as well as the required text. Make sure you have reviewed the syllabus, reminders, and announcements regarding assignment expectations prior to submitting the assignment, and double check the SafeAssign report prior to finalizing your submission.
This evaluation of a current peer reviewed journal article of a primary scientific study must be based on a current (no more than 3 years old) fully and directly accessible peer reviewed study article in the library or PMC databases. As I need to review the study article as a part of grading this assignment, the study article you choose must be fully accessible from PMC or from the University library. So, choosing to review a peer reviewed study article that is not immediately available from the library or PMC in full and in English will likely result in considerable deductions for content. To be able to review your study evaluation, I need to be able to immediately access and read the actual original study.
A formal APA style paper is required for this paper assignment, not a comments box comment or paper with general content that is not APA formatted. The link above for the CWE provides an APA template you can use for this assignment. Basic overall APA formatting is required for this paper assignment as well as ensuring the credible very brief intext citations and referencing of the text and the study article. If you want to use the American Psychological Association (2017) Section 8 standards citing and referencing very briefly directly from the code instead of using the text, that is fine as you review your chosen current peer reviewed scientific study article too. After reviewing the syllabus, reminders, and announcements pertaining to assignment expectations that apply to this paper and otherwise related to course and University policies, let me know if you need any further guidance.

Chapter 14- Sleep, Dreaming, and Circadian Rhythms
Phrases like, “I’ll sleep when I die” or “sleep is overrated” are often used by individuals who may be very busy–e.g. college students. However, sleeping is necessary for adequate physical and cognitive functions. During infancy, it is essential for growth, as growth hormone (GH) is secreted when we sleep. This is why newborns sleep between 16-18 hours. When sleeping is interrupted, our lives can be significantly affected.

Per chapter 14, the hypothalamus, reticular formation, suprachiasmatic nucleus, inferior colliculi, and superior colliculi are parts of the brain involved in sleep. Please help us understand parasomnia by explaining which specific part of the brain may be involved in this potentially lethal disorder. 
Primary Post due Wed
In 250-275 words, tell us why you selected the brain part you selected to explain parasomnia. Additionally, tell us which brain part involved in sleep (mentioned in previous paragraph)
does NOT explain parasomnia.

* Environmental, Biological, And Psychological Risk Factors for Abnormal Behaviors and Mental Disorders: Implications for Prevention and Intervention
Prepare an annotated bibliography of ten scholarly research sources you plan to use and cite in your final paper. An annotated bibliography is a vital resource that scholars, researchers, and practitioners often refer to and use in their professional work. As such, this assignment constitutes a significant part of your coursework. The bibliography should include an accurate APA-styled citation of each source. Each source must include a brief description of the main themes of the article, significant findings, and a statement as to why the source is relevant to the focus of your final paper. Each bibliographic source should be about 5-7 sentences in length. This paper should follow APA style, including double-spaced text and 12-point font size.

The final paper is a literature review of one of the topics covered this semester in for the psycology of literacy development course. This specific topic is developmental dyslexia. We have to review each article, synthesize and analyze the key points from the multiple sources. Involve identifing the themes,debates and gaps. Also, to discuss how the articles agree, contradict or build upon on another and, how do the findings in these articles enhance our understanding of developmental dyslexia. I’ve attached the 10 articles.
Thank you so much!

You are required to write an opinion paper of at least 1500 words in length on the psychological perspective that you agree with the most, and why you agree with it. We will discuss many perspectives in this class. These perspectives come with their own set of assumptions about human nature. Your paper should address these assumptions, compare these assumptions to the assumptions of competing perspectives, and discuss which ones you agree with as your personal hypothesis about the nature of humans.

Instructions:
Please read the following case study and in an essay respond to the points that follow.
Sihle is a 20-year-old African man who is in his second year of university. He has arrived with
a close friend. He reports he is seeking treatment as he often hears voices (who he thinks are ancestors) that instruct him to do “bad” things, such as hurt and kill others, and reported that he has heard these voices over the last 6 months. He further reports that he feels his flatmate in his residence has a grudge against him and is “watching” him, causing him to feel more and more afraid to leave his room. His intense anxiety about this has begun getting in the way of his ability to complete schoolwork, and his friends are concerned – he says they have told him, “You’re not making sense.”. This makes him very angry and at times has become
quite aggressive in response to these comments.
Furthermore, his friend contests that his
flatmate in residence has any obvious grudge against him, but notes he is concerned about
Sihle’s refusal to engage in self-care (with a notable deterioration in his personal hygiene).
During your consultation, Sihle occasionally laughs abruptly and inappropriately and
sometimes stops speaking mid-sentence, looking off in the distance as though he sees or
hears something. His beliefs are fixed, and if they are challenged, his tone becomes hostile.
In getting collateral information from his family, who are from a rural community, and who
hold traditional religious beliefs, it is further reported that they were unable to conduct a
specific customary ceremony due to financial constraints, which they feel is significant in his
presentation of symptoms.
In an essay format, please address the following points in your response to the case study.
Please ensure that your essay provides an in-depth analysis of each of the points and
demonstrates a clear understanding of the concepts involved. Use credible sources to
support your arguments and cite them appropriately.
1. Primary Diagnosis: Using the DSM-5-TR criteria, provide your primary diagnosis of
Sihle. Please refer to the American Psychiatric Association website for DSM-5-TR
diagnostic criteria, as well as your prescribed reading material. Please ensure that
your response is not in point form.
2. Challenges of Diagnosis: Provide a critical review of the particular challenges of
diagnosing and working with the identified primary diagnosis in South Africa.
Substantiate your critical review with relevant, contemporary research and literature.
3. Management of the Case: The family in this case study present with divergent belief
systems. Using this as a basis for your discussion, consider up how you as a counsellor
would manage the case on an individual level (Sihle) and family level (Sihle and his
family). Include a critical discussion on how you would include a western and
traditional worldview in managing Sihle.
[ Important:
My understanding of this was that his family (including Sihle) has a more traditional view rather than western.
I think the question is asking how we, coming from a more western perspective, would manage the case considering the more traditional perspective they hold. ]
4. Psychoeducational pamphlet brochure: Design a psychoeducational pamphlet
brochure on the primary diagnosis that you identified in the case study. The pamphlet
should have 3 columns on 2 pages and should be creative, visually pleasing and user-
friendly for people from all walks of life in South Africa. You may make use of an app
such Canva Templates (canva.com). The pamphlet brochure should be written in
language that is accessible to clients at a local clinic. Information included should be
accurate and may include issues such as description of the illness; symptoms; myths
attached to the illness; ideas regarding support for the client and family; where to get
help; referral sources, and so forth.
[N.B. – Word Count is not included in this. – N.B.]
[ Pamphlet doesn’t have to be purely academic. It is to help educate the layperson.]
[N.B. – Add references to essay reference list.]
Length (word count) : 2500 words – 3200 words (maximum)
