Specific Considerations<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> <\/span>In your essay, be sure to incorporate both description and critical discussion (which would include<\/span>
the advantages vs. disadvantages\/strengths vs. weaknesses) of research designs\/methods.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> <\/span>To illustrate the designs\/methods\/concepts you are critically discussing or points you are making,<\/span>
your paper should include critical discussion of multiple individual empirical research studies.<\/span>
Critical discussion of a study involves more than simply describing it. Consider including key<\/span>
information about the study (e.g., its research question, its sample, its methodology, some key<\/span>
findings) but include also discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the study.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
o<\/span> <\/span>The empirical research studies you choose to discuss must<\/span> <\/span>NOT<\/span> <\/span>be cited\/described in the<\/span>
course etextbook. Instead, you have to search the peer-reviewed literature for yourself to<\/span>
find other studies that you actually read for your essay and then critically discuss in your<\/span>
essay<\/span> <\/span>\u2013<\/span> <\/span>check the Reference section of the etextbook to make sure that<\/span> <\/span>none<\/span> <\/span>of your chosen<\/span>
empirical studies have been described somewhere in the etextbook).<\/span><\/span><\/span>
o<\/span> <\/span>The empirical research studies you choose to discuss must be published in the peer-<\/span>
reviewed literature<\/span> <\/span>\u2013<\/span> <\/span>so, they must appear in a scholarly journal that involves a peer review<\/span>
process;<\/span> <\/span>NOT<\/span> <\/span>a website or blog, etc.<\/span> <\/span>You are strongly encouraged to email or meet in<\/span>
person with one of the Graduate Assistants for this course if you are unsure about<\/span>
whether a particular empirical study will be considered to have been published in the<\/span>
peer-reviewed literature.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span> <\/span>Where appropriate, your essay should include mention of possible ethical issues arising with either<\/span>
general designs\/methods or individual empirical studies you critically discuss.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

General Considerations<\/span><\/span><\/span>
Make sure you have carefully read this document as well as the<\/span> <\/span>\u2018<\/span>Rubric for Course Paper 2230<\/span>\u2019<\/span> <\/span>document<\/span>
for this assignment and also the<\/span> <\/span>\u2018Help Sheet for Course Paper<\/span> <\/span>2230<\/span>\u2019<\/span> <\/span>document before beginning work on<\/span>
the assignment.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
Your essay must be typed and written in the third person, using coherent sentences and appropriate use of<\/span>
paragraphs (you are encouraged to use a grammar and spell checker).<\/span><\/span><\/span>
It should be no more than<\/span> <\/span>2,000 words (this is a strict word limit<\/span>). This should be your target length<\/span>
because a shorter essay may not include sufficient information and critical discussion for a passing mark.<\/span>
An essay that exceeds the word limit of 2,000 words will lose marks as per the Rubric.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
Format your essay using<\/span> <\/span>1” margins<\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> <\/span>Times Roman 12 pt font.<\/span> <\/span>It must be<\/span> <\/span>double-spaced,<\/span> <\/span>which will<\/span>
result in a maximum of about 6\u00bd pages of text, with an additional title page and a final page(s) for your<\/span>
references. It is the actual count of 2,000 words that is important not the number of pages (and you must<\/span>
include your accurate word count on your title page). List all your references (including the etextbook) on<\/span>
the final page(s) using the APA format. Your title page and reference page(s) are not included as part of the<\/span>
2,000 total word count.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
In-text Citations and References<\/span><\/span><\/span>
You must correctly use in-text citations and give full references in a Reference section for all of your<\/span>
sources. Correctly list all your references (including the etextbook) on a final Reference page(s) using the<\/span>
American Psychological Association (APA) format (references on your Reference page are not included as<\/span>
part of the 2,000 total word count). Guidance in preparing your in-text citations and references for a wide<\/span>
range<\/span> <\/span>of sources using APA format can be found via the links included in the \u2018Help Sheet for Course Paper<\/span>
Assignment\u2019 document also posted for this assignment. Note that it is<\/span> <\/span>your in-text citations and your<\/span>
references listed on your Reference section page(s) that must be in APA format. Your paper\/essay should<\/span>
be written as one would write a standard academic paper<\/span> <\/span>\u2013<\/span> <\/span>but APA formatting of the paper itself is not<\/span>
required<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Use of Generative AI for this Course Paper Assignment is Prohibited<\/span><\/span><\/span>
In this specific course, a primary focus is to cultivate an equitable, inclusive, and accessible learning<\/span>
community that emphasizes individual critical thinking and problem-solving skills. To ensure a fair and<\/span>

(including but not limited to ChatGPT, Gemini, or Dall-E 2) is strictly prohibited by the course instructor<\/span>
for this Course Paper assignment. Each student is expected to write their essay independently and without<\/span>
assistance from others or the use of generative AI. Any use of an AI tool in a student\u2019s academic work in<\/span>
this course may be considered an act of academic misconduct. (Statement adapted from resources provided<\/span>
