Social change is a founding value and educational goal at
Walden University as expressed in the Mission and
Vision statements, and incorporated in every course curriculum.
The Walden Vision statement reads as follows: Walden

learning community where knowledge is judged worthy to the
degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate

As Walden University (2013) expressed in the Mission and
vision statements, social change is a founding value and
educational goal incorporated in every course curriculum. The
Walden vision statement reads as follows:
Walden University envisions a distinctively different 21st-
century learning community where knowledge is judged worthy
to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the
immediate solutions of critical societal challenges, thereby
advancing the greater global good. (Walden University, 2013).
While bringing bringing about social change on either a micro
or macro level can be daunting, Mandela (n.d.) explained that
“it always seems impossible until it’s done”. The teachings of
Gandhi, Mandela, King and many others continue to influence
new generations of scholars and social change practitioners.

Part 2 of Assignment
In general, when one researches what helps students learn APA
format, the sources usually suggest a lot of practice. You will
be expected to put your main Discussion responses and
Assignments in APA format in all of your graduate courses, so
you will, indeed, get this practice. Peer reviews are also noted
as one way to effectively receive feedback.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the feedback that you provided and received for this
week’s Discussion 1 exercise.
Reflect on the process of receiving, as well as providing,
constructive feedback.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4
an explanation of the process that you followed in order to
provide feedback to your partner. What did you learn about
APA format or the
Publication Manual
as a result of this exercise? Do you feel the references that
were cited were scholarly sources of information for the paper?

5. Why or why not? What did you learn from the feedback that you
received that will improve your APA-format writing style?
