For your topic, you do not need to decide on a thesis statement yet, but you do need to consider a topic where you can show cause and effect. Your topic can be chosen from your major academic field or from your work life. For more ideas, take a look at the assignment for Essay 3 (due Sunday of Week 8.)Then, respond in substantive detail to the initial posts of at least 2 other classmates. It would be very helpful if you could post research ideas for Essay 3. Example—Siobhan writes that she wants to explore causes of ADD in children, and Li responds that she might want to try looking in the online library databases for the PSYC articles databases, and Juan notes that when he did a paper for this last semester, he found a great article, and here is the Works Cited citation, so that Siobhan can find the article.Note that as you respond to other posters, you may want to be doing a little research on the library databases, which go far beyond the two or three that we have been using for the course and include things like the PSYC articles database and the Janeâ€s Military publications databases.Make your initial posts to the Forum by 11:55pm ET, Wednesday.
