Imagine that you are working in a neurology clinic. One of the neurologists tells you that as his or her practice is expanding, he or she is having difficulty meeting the education needs of his or her patients. Part of this problem is explaining the basic neuroanatomical structures to the patients in layperson’s language so that they understand their diagnoses and their underlying neurological impairments. The neurologist asks you to create a written guide for the patients, including both the CNS and the PNS. He or she describes what the basic neuroanatomical structures are, where they are located, how they interact, and what function they serve.

He or she asks you to name the structures by using the correct technical language but to use layperson’s language as much as possible elsewhere.

Your neuroanatomy guide should cover the following:

  • Basic neuroanatomical structures (including the CNS and the PNS, as well as the structural packaging that protects the brain from the environment)
  • Locations of these structures
  • Functions they serve (what functions damage to these areas may affect)
  • How they interact

Be sure to explain the information in layperson’s language and use graphics and pictures where helpful. Use APA format when citing material from scholarly sources such as your textbook and online notes. Include a cover page and a reference page listing the resources you used to create your guide.

Your response should be at least 2 pages long

Week 5 – Final Paper

Analyzing Reasoning on Both Sides

This final writing assignment allows you to present an analysis of the best reasoning on each side of your issue. In the process, you will get to demonstrate some of the key skills you have learned during this course. In particular, you will demonstrate the ability to create high-quality arguments on both sides of an issue, to support your reasoning with scholarly sources, and to provide a fair analysis of the strength of the reasoning on each side. For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the paper.

Your paper must include the following sections, clearly labeled:

· Introduction

o Introduce readers to your topic; include a brief preview of what you will accomplish in this paper. (approximately 150 words)

· First Argument

o Present the best argument on one side of the issue. (approximately 150 words)

§ Express your argument in standard form, with the premises listed one by one above the conclusion.

· Defense for First Argument 

o Support the first argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You may also choose to clarify the meaning of key premises and to explain how your reasoning supports the conclusion (approximately 250 words).

· Opposing Argument 

o Present the best argument on the other side of the issue (approximately 150 words).

§ Express your argument in standard form.

· Defense of Opposing Argument 

o Support the opposing argument as well as you can, using academic sources to demonstrate the truth of key premises. You are welcome as well to clarify the meaning of premises and/or to explain the reasoning further (approximately 250 words).

· Analysis of the Reasoning (approximately 350 words)

o Evaluate the quality of each argument, addressing whether key premises are true and whether the conclusion logically follows from them.

o Analyze arguments for any fallacies committed or for any biases that may influence either side. Do you feel that one argument makes a much stronger case than the other and why? (There is no need to “take sides,” only to assess the quality of the arguments.)

o Support your analysis with scholarly sources.

· Conclusion (approximately 150 words)

o Provide a brief conclusion and summary of your issue and how it can best be addressed by critical thinker.

The Analyzing Reasoning on Both Sides paper

o Instructor’s name

o Date submitted

o

· Must use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text. The

o table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.

o The tutorial will offer further assistance with including supporting information and reasoning.
