You should have a cover page with your name, the name of your specific assignment (which will be the title of the document you received through email), and the date that you turn in the assignment.
You must use complete sentences and paragraphs in each part of the assignment. NO bullet points or numbered lists at all. Bulleted/Numbered lists lead to very concise answers but I want you to explain to me how the activity went and give details about the participant’s expressions and your own feelings as you complete the activity.
You may only submit papers in these formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, and .rtf.
There is no required font or spacing, but 12 point Times New Roman, double-spaced formatting is preferred.
In your activity description, you should describe how you instructed the participant to do the activity and what materials you may have used to complete the activity. In this case, more details are better than fewer details. You do not need to give your participant’s full name or any other identifying information, but make sure to include in your description what information was given. For example, if you asked the participant how they would describe themselves and they answered with their full name, then you could say: “When I asked her how she would introduce herself to a stranger, she said that she would give her full name and said that she would also ask them what their name is.” You are welcome to assign a pseudonym to your participant to protect their identity. You are welcome to use initials, like this: “My participant, S. A., is a 12 year old girl who lives with both of her parents and an older brother.” You could also use a nickname, like this: “My participant, who I will reference as Jane to protect her identity, is a 12 year old girl. Jane lives with her mother and a younger sister.”
Please read your instructions carefully. If you do an activity and then do not report that you completed the activity or complete the activity incorrectly, then you will lose points for this assignment. You must complete the activity with a real, living person. You may not ask Generative AI to complete the activity and then turn in that report. This will be viewed as plagiarism and you will be reported to the Dean of Students. I am a developmental psychologist, who has been studying humans at all parts of development for over 20 years and I can tell if a real person completed your activity with you. I will be using Turnitin’s AI detector as well as their similarity checker to assist me in determining if you completed the assignment correctly.
It is very important that you write using a narrative format, using full sentences in paragraph format. I find that students include valuable information about the context and non-verbal cues from the activities when they use this style of writing. Please write out sentences for the interview questions or activities, using a story-telling prose, like this:
I started by asking my participant how he felt about his current job, and he said, “I love working with people because I know that I can help them and it makes me feel good about myself.” I could tell that the participant is very proud of his occupation. He also said, “I have known since I was little that I wanted to be a firefighter when I grew up
