This option is for those of you that like to write and self-reflect. This formal written assignment requires
a minimum of 2-3 pages double-spaced. In this formal paper you will focus on the following question:
How can you be the solution in your personal life?
Using the information, you have learned in this class, focus on three concepts that you learned and are applying to your life. This can be your character strengths, paying it forward, your meditative practice, mindfulness, personal emotional regulation etc…You must supplement your paper with three outside academic studies – one study per concept.
You will be graded based off of the following:
3pts for three concepts learned & applied
7pts for three academic studies supporting each concept (Make sure to properly cite APA)
One quick and easy way to find academic sources is to go to your My ASU homepage and click on Library—then search for your topic in the “Library One Search.” Once you have done this, at the top of the search page, you can narrow your search results to include only Peer Reviewed sources. This will come in handy for this assignment and for any future research you do. Peer reviewed sources are always the most reliable and credible!
Please read these assignment instructions carefully! Websites will NOT be accepted as a credible
source. Also, please be sure you cite all of your references (APA style preferred). If you are going to use
direct quotes, be sure to include the PAGE NUMBERS of where you found that information. If you
don’t, it could be treated as plagiarism since they are not considered your own words or ideas.
