Assignment task: Erber & Szuchman (2014) pages 90-97 & Audio: How New York is Prioritizing Mental Health Care for Elders, NPR.
For the "3-2-1" post and reply, students are expected to post the following information on the discussion board for each week:
3 concepts you learned from the readings/videos/audio
? Ie. what was something you found interesting? What is something new you learned?
? Please post well-thought responses. An example of a well-thought response: "I learned that dementia is an umbrella term to describe subtypes of cognitive impairment that cause impairment in daily functioning." An example of a poorly thought response: "I learned what dementia means."
2 questions you have about the readings/videos/audio
? What continues to pique your curiosity after completing the reading, watching the video, or listening to the audio? What questions did the reading/video/audio not answer for you?
? Please post well-thought questions. An example of a well-thought question: "Isolation may become a problem for older adults, but what are the best way for them to make friends?" An example of a poorly thought question: "Old people are lame. Anyone agree?"
? Please do not edit your questions once you have posted them, as this will confuse other students who have/have not replied to a post and myself during the grading process.
