Ch 8.

Forum Assignment for the Week: 300 Words minimum

For this week's Forum, respond to the following: Love and liking are two similar, yet different, types of phenomena that we as humans deal with. As you consider these two psychological constructs, can you separate them? Or are they indelibly linked together? Explain the rationale behind your thoughts on this topic.

Remember that all posts are graded for substance and thoughtful consideration of the forum topic.

General Instructions Applicable to All Forums:

Forums are scholarly dialogs, so while sharing what you think and not just what published authors wrote is encouraged, only stating opinion isn't acceptable. Instead, thoughtfully integrate relevant theory and research you read about this week and strive to make connections between that academic content and your own observations and experiences.

Source citation are required if used. Copying of published material, which is plagiarism, is prohibited and any instances of it, including forum posts, will result in a zero score without an option for re-submission to recoup lost points and a report sent to the Registrar's Office per University policy.

Discussion forum posts will be graded on verbal expression, critical thinking, making an effort to not just participate in but contribute to the dialog with initial and reply posts of a substantive nature commensurate with graduate level studies. Posts must have correct grammatical construction, spelling, and punctuation with no texting or other casual style language.
