Instructions
Select 2 of the 5 following questions (1-5) to answer for this assignment. 20 points will be earned for proper grammar, punctuation, and technical writing abilities (i.e. citations and APA format). Each one of the 2 essays should between 2 and 3½ pages (each). Each essay must also include textbook information and at least 1 additional peer-reviewed source as support (publication dates between 2013-2018). The total assignment should be 4-7½ pages (not including the title page and reference page, which are required). A single assignment cover page and reference page are required (per APA format and not for each essay question). Separate your 2 essay topics with headings:
- Larsen and Buss (2018) present three common misconceptions about the concept of heritability. Explain these 3 misconceptions and discuss why these are not based on reality. Discuss why people continue to believe these gross misconceptions. Provide real-to-life examples (hypotheticals) that counteract/correct these misconceptions. (Note: no 1st person in APA). Be sure to support this essay with the textbook and at least 1 research article.
