The assignment is this: find something in psychology that you
think is problematic. This may be a theory or concept, a
research finding, a methodology or practice, or any other issue
relevant to the current state of affairs in psychology
. Write a paper explaining this topic and what the problems are
with it. Do not produce a simple opinion piece: Provide
citations to back up your reasoning. Support your argument with
evidence and clear reasoning. You must use APA formatting
rules as appropriate. Remember, the APA Publication Manual,
7th edition, is the only authoritative reference on APA style.
There is no length requirement - in science we write until we
have completed making the point; page limits are arbitrary and
meaningless. Tips: start with a statement in your opening
paragraph that clearly describes the area of interest and the
problem you have identified. Spend some time providing a
descriptive background of the area of interest before detailing
the problem and evidence. In addition to supporting your
criticisms, provide solutions, whether it be a different theory, or
a revision to research methodology or statistical analysis, or
proposals for new experiments to be done.
Regarding references and APA formatting: write your paper as
if you were going to submit it to a journal for peer-review and
publication. Journals would require APA styled title pages,
abstracts, page and paragraph formatting, citations and
references. Be sure your choice of references would pass peer
review. You should only be citing sources like the ones you see
cited in other peer-reviewed articles, namely primary sources.
On Plagiarism
: These papers will be submitted using the Turnitin tool built
into webcourses. A similarity score will be calculated. See the
Course Policy page for more information regarding course rules
on what counts as plagiarism. Important: citing a source gives
you license to describe the ideas and work performed by those
authors. It does NOT give license to borrow or paraphrase their
words.
