Human Growth & Development Writing Assignment

Assignment Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to give students an idea about how research can improve understanding of human development. You are to choose a controversial topic in developmental psychology (if you are not sure ask your instructor). You are then going to read a scholarly journal article related to the controversial topic and then summarize what you read so that virtually anyone can understand it. You may take one side or compare the pros and cons.
BE SURE THAT YOU BASE YOUR PAPER ON AN ARTICLE FROM A SCHOLARLY JOURNAL. (Your instructor will explain how to find scholarly journals). The article you choose must not be more than 5 years old. Be sure to include a copy of the article when you submit your paper to your professor.

IMPORTANT:
Try to avoid sharing personal experiences and/or personal opinions. This paper is a scientific review of the article. Your job is to read it and simplify the results so that the average person could understand it.
Paraphrase. DO NOT use quotes.
Please be careful not to plagiarize. To receive credit for this paper, you must explain the article in your own words.

FORMAT GUIDELINES:
The paper should be 3-5 pages in length and should be typed.
The entire paper should be double-spaced with 12-point font size.
All margins should be one inch.
Place your name, class, and date in the upper left-hand corner of the first page of your paper.

Reference Page
You need a complete reference for the article that you reviewed. Be sure that your reference is in the most current APA style. (Your instructor will cover this style, or you can go to http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ and visit the Research and Citation section.)

You will probably have only one reference on your reference page. The reference page should be on a separate page. The following APA format should be used for your reference page:

References

Giancola, P. R., & Tarter, R. E. (1999). Executive cognitive functioning and risk for substance abuse. Psychological Science, 10, 203-205. doi: 10.1037/0021-9010.76.1.143

Explanation of APA reference above: Note that the APA format includes the last name and the first initials of all the authors. Then provide in parentheses the year of publication. Next provide the title of the article, with ONLY the first word of the title capitalized. Next list the title of the journal that the article came from. Be sure to capitalize the journal and put it in italics. Then include the volume number of the journal and put that in italics. Finally, list the pages of the article (not italicized) and the DOI if there is one. Make sure you put the periods and commas in the same exact format that you see in the example above.

 here is the professor’s instructions for the project : For the final project I wanted to give you the basic “bare minimum” parameters. 1) Create custom modeled 3D buildings/structures with textures for your village/outpost or whatever theme you are working on. It doesn’t have to be fully detailed but I also do not want just a cube with basic texturing. (3d max) 2) A working door and other elements that animate, using Playmaker. You can duplicate the same doors as many times as you need unless you have more than one type of door. 3) Custom landscape with textures that your buildings/structures rests upon. 4) Use a skybox and direct light for the outdoors. Don’t forget about the “shadow” button to turn on the shadows. 5) Light the interior of the buildings/structures with point lights. 6) Bake your lights for proper shadows. 7) Use the supplied tree and grass assets as well if needed. You can also create your own like rocks and do have permission to use pre-build 3D items if needed. 8) Utilize the particle system, ie., snow, dust, etc. It doesn’t have to be in your whole scene unless you decide. 9) Your scene must contain mostly custom assets of your creation. If you have pre-created, this is ok. As long as the majority of your scene is mostly your creation(s). 10) Anything above and beyond will not go unrecognized and result in a higher grade. I am looking for quality of your textures, creativity and modeling. I know many of you are not Digital Arts majors and have never touched this kind of software, but it should be doable to make a nice looking level walkthrough. 11) I am not asking for any audio, but you can add audio if you want to give it a try.     For any other questions, please email me  or text me ——————————————————————————————————————————-the theme for my project is still undecided but im confused between (lonely island) or (sci-fi).I need really proffessional and creative work on it since its wieghted %100 on my grade for the class. we are using (3d max) and (unity) in this class  

Worth 200 points See Chapters 10-14 of the text to help understand some of the legal issues covered in this assignment.Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan.  Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed. The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman. Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following:

Assignment 2: Letter to FreudIn this assignment you are to write a letter to Sigmund Freud critiquing three of the most important concepts in his theory.

Under each heading, include at least:One substantive paragraph summarizing the concept clearly and thoroughly as Freud might explain it.1-2 paragraphs,  critiquing the concept. Explain what you think is valid or invalid about his understanding of this concept. You are welcome to agree or disagree with his views but it is important that you attempt to bring in relevant and current research to substantiate your agreement or disagreement. This should be an objective critique of some of Freud’s concepts versus simply an opinion paper.Follow this procedure for EACH of the three concepts mentioned above.Conclude your letter with a paragraph summarizing your key points.After completing the letter, include a paragraph or two explaining how Freud’s concept of the unconscious might be effectively used by a psychoanalytic therapist practicing today. Explain at least two techniques that might be used and the expected outcome of these techniques. Submit your response to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Your paper should be at least 1200 words in length, follow APA style for attributing sources, and include a reference page.Assignment 2 Grading Criteria and Respective Point ValueMaximum PointsProvided an accurate and detailed summary of the three main concepts using terms that Freud would recognize and understand.25Critiqued each of the three main concepts with at least one substantive point of agreement or disagreement that is supported by current research.25Explained how Freud’s concept of the unconscious might be applied in contemporary therapy.15Identified at least two techniques that could effectively be used in working with the unconscious along with the expected outcomes.15Wrote a paper in the form of a personal letter to Freud, in a clear, concise, and organized manner, maintained a consistent voice, and demonstrated ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources, displayed accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.20Total:100

The assignment for this week represents the last phase of your Course Project paper. In you prepared and submitted the annotated bibliography containing 10 annotations based upon research into the administration-politics dichotomy in public administration within the context of various topics studied over the term. That paper was submitted, graded, and feedback provided by the facilitator. You should make any suggested revisions or additions to the content of that document. In you prepared an essay that identified different themes that emerged from your analysis of the peer-reviewed journal articles and annotations written for those articles. The assignment for this week brings these two parts together into one cohesive paper that reflects your own analysis of the research from the articles and how that content addresses the administration-politics dichotomy. It will portray how this dichotomy has been perceived over time based upon peer-reviewed research and evidence, and it is not intended to be a venting of personal opinion.As noted in previous instructions, you must provide in-text citations for all of your sources and include them all on a references page using APA style guidelines. Your references page should be the last page of your document and should include all the references you used that are not included in your annotated bibliographic entries. For example, you might want to refer in your essay to Woodrow Wilson’s article in the textbook. You would not add it to your annotated bibliographic entries but would include it in your list of references at the end of your paper. : Any direct quotations or references to specifics from your annotated bibliographic entries in your essay would have an in-text, parenthetical citation but would only be listed in your annotated bibliographic alphabetical list.The Course Project document will be will be somewhere around 16–24 pages, depending on the length of your essay and the length and number of your article summaries (your weekly annotated bibliographic entries).

Project description
5 paragraph essay. Give In depth analysis of the 5 topics. Proving with answers with sufficient and precise details from the text, including examples of attitudes, conversations, and events, as well as descriptions. Do not write in 3rd person.The thesis statement should be “Robinson Crusoe journeys in his attitude toward Divine Providence from rebellion against what he perceives as a disinterested authority early on, to an initial repentance and conversion through the vision-dream, and finally, to an active and mature faith in a loving God, Who protects and guides all things, by the end of his stay on the island.” The introduction paragraph should supply a definition of Providence molded on the discussion presented above. In light of this definition, further comment should be made concerning Robinson’s understanding of Providence or his attitude toward Providence, how that changes from rebellion against what Robinson perceives as punishment to repentance for pride and selfishness to gratitude for the love of a heavenly father which sustains him. The last sentence should be the provided thesis statement. paragraph one should begin with a topic sentence that includes and evaluation of Robinsons relationship with God/attitude toward for about providence before Robinson experiences the vision dream. No Robinsons rebellious attitude and his inability to see providence as a manifestation of God’s love. Paragraph two Should begin with a topic sentence that conveys Robinsons developing understanding of Divine Providence as particularly inspired by the vision-dream, which causes him to repent. The third paragraph should begin with the topic sentence showing how Robinson’s reaction to the mutineers and their deposed Captain reveals an understanding of divine providence that is now based on love and trust, in which has inspired Robinsons complete abandonment to the direction of Providence, the loving plan of God. The concluding paragraph should begin with the restatement of the thesis in a slightly different way. Paragraph should summarize Robinson’s attitude toward Providence a scene at the end of the stay on the island and after his departure, and reflect upon the spiritual journey Robinson has made over the course of the story. What does Robinson now believe about divine providence in general, and especially in the events of his own life? Upon what has Robinsons police finally come to rest, as opposed to the fear that began his journey in faith? How does Robinson matured faith continue to manifest itself in his thoughts and actions after he leaves the island? Be sure to cite specific example be sure to cite specific events, characters statements, as well as their acts, attitudes, and descriptions to support your points. The introduction paragraph should state the title of the book as well as The name of the author if you quote from the book you must know the page reference in parentheses next to the quote.

student is required to complete a course project. The objective of the project is to investigate long term changes (at least several- month long) in stream flow patterns due to precipitation in a particular watershed .  Each student will analyze stream flow data and precipitation data are available for the specific period, and present results in a written paper. Watersheds and time periods of analysis should be selected to answer a question about changes in stream flows in response to changes in crop production practices or urbanization or IDF curve development.  The paper will include1.An abstract (overview of your work and conclusion)2.An introduction (that will provide a statement of objective and justification for the watershed and time period selected)3.Descriptive information on the watershed (size, location, land cover) and data sources 4.Hydrological analysis of this watershed (real precipitation and flow data for the specific watershed must be presented, and this part must include detailed calculation between precipitation and runoff flow).5.Results, discussion of results, including discussion of scientific articles that provide relevant explanation for any of the patterns observed. 6.References (including all citations you used in your report)The paper should be about 12 pages (Time new roman, 12) in length. Grading Standards:1.The project will account for 20% of your overall grade. The written report will be double-spaced.

Research Paper ProposalA research proposal is an overview of the argument contained in your working thesis statement, sometimes called a hypothesis. It is not based on research, but on what you already know, or think you know, about your topic.If done well, a research proposal will almost serve as a preliminary outline of your paper. It offers your working thesis (hypothesis) and explanation, which should list the points you want to make. The sub-points are the main points of your paper. And the objections represent the of the argument.This is a good time to reconsider the initial thoughts you had earlier in the module about your thesis (or hypothesis): do you need to rewrite it? If you have trouble filling in the sections below, an improperly formed thesis might be the problem.The research proposal has 5 parts:: a one-sentence paragraph; no introduction is necessary.: a statement that includes the points you think you will be discussing in your paper. : each sub-point explains more fully a point mentioned in your explanation.: a brief discussion of the opposition’s point of view.: your brief answer to the opposition.Your research proposal should look like the five parts listed above. The number of sub-points may vary, but if you have only two, you may not have enough material for a good paper. For a simple undergraduate paper, limit your sub-points to 4 or 5.The point of this exercise is to give you a focus, to force you to think about your topic independently of any research you may do or have done. This will probably serve as a basis for your paper, although it is quite likely that, once you begin your research, some of your ideas will change. That is the point of research: working to find an answer to a question!Although your early research may have given you some great information, it is not necessary to rely on research for a good research proposal: you are simply outlining the argument that you expect to make in your final paper.A good research proposal follows the standard format described in this module.Save your research proposal as and submit it to the by . All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
