Status of Psychology Assignment
Status of Psychology AssignmentORDER NOW FOR COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION PAPERS
ON Status of Psychology AssignmentSummarize the current state of the discipline of
psychology by analyzing who psychologists are and what they do, the variety of
psychological research, and psychology’s status in society. Are there any areas that you
would like psychologists to attend to that they currently do not?300-400 words.1
source.You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-
checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and
you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words
and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then
aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to
have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are
preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per
inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing
are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages
than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASSDiscussion Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ
should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly
source, and be at least 250 words.Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something
new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at
least one scholarly source.One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement
or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive
responses should be at least 150 words.I encourage you to incorporate the readings from
the week (as applicable) into your responses.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to
the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.In addition
to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate
days, for a total of three replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly
source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).Part of your weekly participation
includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments.
These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the
week.Status of Psychology AssignmentAPA Format and Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself
with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for
your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab
in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted
for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).Cite all sources of
information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.I highly
recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.Use of Direct QuotesI discourage
overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct
points accordingly.As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically
analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply
restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or
critical analysis of the content.It is best to paraphrase content and cite your
source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please
be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do
a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will
show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the
extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.Review your
similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your
paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?Visit the Writing Center in
the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving
your paper and SI score.Late PolicyThe university’s policy on late assignments is 10%
penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.Please communicate with me if
you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance
notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.If you
do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will
be in effect.I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have
worked out an extension.As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of
class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted
for grading.CommunicationCommunication is so very important. There are multiple ways to
communicate with me:Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course
content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your
peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.Individual Forum: This is a private
forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24
hours.Status of Psychology Assignment
