Student papers should include all of the information from the prior paper
assignments. However, that information should be restated and likely abbreviated to meet the page length
requirement of 6 – 7 pages. In addition, in the introduction, describe the problem of interest, the prior
research (from the literature and summaries) as well as the associated hypothesis or hypotheses. The
Methods and conclusions should be included as separate sections along with the bibliography (i.e.,
reference list). The following questions may be helpful to you in describing the problem of interest:
How would you improve the research who reviewed? If you were to do them over again, describe
what changes you would make and why these changes would improve it.
Based on what you have read and learned in the course draw intellectual conclusion(s). Give your
opinion about the issue. Why is this research important? State what all this means for the
behavior/phenomenon. How does research in this area impact human life, policy or future
research? How does this research compare to your personal life experiences? Does the
research/theory match what you have experienced in the real world?
All of these paper assignments should use APA style formatting including double spacing, 11- or 12-point
font; Times New Roman, Arial, or other serif font; and one-inch margins. Correct grammar and spelling
