Paper Assignment – Part TWO
As part of your course grade you will write a 3 – 4 page final paper that expands on a topic that has been covered in class or the textbook. The final paper is not due until December 6 and you will receive more details as it gets closer, but you must submit information regarding your possible topics by November 17th. This handout focuses on what you should have done by November 17th and what you should turn in to be graded (this homework is worth up to 5 points of your final grade in the class).
PART ONE:
For this part of the assignment,you must choose one of your two proposed topics for your final paper (please incorporate feedback from the first assignment)and discuss 2 journal articles you plan to use as sources. Specifically, you should describe briefly (in 1 paragraph) your revised topic and questions, and then (in another paragraph) what you hope to find from the sources you have identified. You should also include the sources themselves in a reference list in APA format.
You are welcome to use your first assignment as a draft and do not need to start from scratch – just be sure to incorporate any feedback I gave (in most cases, I asked you to narrow your topicsto 2-3 questions, and clarify what these main questions are). If you did not submit the previous assignment, you should still submit this assignment and can receive credit for it.
Finding Sources:You should use PsycINFO to find your two sources and be sure they are articles from peer-reviewed journals (if you select “Advanced Search,” there is an option to narrow your search to only peer-reviewed journals). You can check the library workshop materials on Blackboard for a refresher, or meet with a librarian for help finding your sources.
What to turn in: On Thursday, November 17th, you should hand in a statement about your final topic and sources as described above. That way I can give you approval/feedbackfor your topic and sources so you can begin work on your final paper.
A note on formatting: Please use 1-inch margins, Times New Roman 12, and double space. Be sure to include your name. Please be sure to cite sources using APA style. For guidance on this, see:https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/07/
