One of the requirements of this course is to complete three writing assignments.

Here are the guidelines, instructions, and due dates for the first assignment. Please keep the following expectations in mind:

Each assignment is worth 50 points.
Read instructions carefully and be sure to complete all aspects of the assignments.
Be thorough and complete in your work.
The assignments were developed to correspond to chapters/topics we will be studying throughout the term. You will get the most out of the assignments if they are done while – or shortly after – we study a particular topic/chapter. Therefore, you will need to turn in your work by the deadlines designated in your syllabus and on the assignment sheet. No late assignments will be accepted.
All written assignments must be typed and double-spaced.
All written assignments must use Times New Roman, 12 Point Font.
All written assignments must be completed using APA format. You can get help with APA format here.

Assignment: You will be required to write a five-page paper (maximum) three times during this semester. The body of the paper is two pages (title page, abstract, and references will make up the rest). Choose any topic that we will be covering in this course. Check last page of the syllabus for broad topics we are covering. There are several possible choices for each of these topics. You will need to find a journal article (experiment) to be analyzed. Papers must be written in APA format. I will be available to meet with anyone individually to discuss or review these papers before due dates. Since you have this assignment well in advance of the due date, I will not accept late assignments. Additional information related to this assignment is on Canvas.
