Assignment: Curriculum Vitae and Personal Statement

Last week you prepared a resume. This week, you will focus on preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and a Personal Statement. Some of you might wonder what a CV is and if it is even necessary for you to prepare one. In very general terms, a CV is an academic resume that provides detailed information about your academic accomplishments and achievements. It is different from a regular resume because it provides not only information about relevant work history in your field of interest, but also includes information about areas of academic interest, research, field experiences, internships, grants, honors, awards, publications, presentations, professional memberships, etc.

You may need to have a CV for application to a graduate program of study, a job, internship, or other opportunity for which you are interested in applying. Having an up-to-date CV will prove useful to you for a number of reasons. It will help you keep track of and document your academic achievements and prepare you to respond to opportunities as they become available.

Early in your academic career, your CV might not be very lengthy; however, as you proceed through your program of study at Walden, you can build upon your CV. Do not be discouraged if you do not have extensive experiences at this point. Creating your CV now can help you identify goals you would like to achieve. As you proceed through this course, think about what goals you can set for yourself, and once accomplished, how they would be documented in your CV.

You may find that you will also need to submit a Personal Statement along with your CV when you apply to graduate programs of study.  A Personal Statement for graduate school application includes not only your interests in the field, but also explains why you have selected the program to which you are applying to. In other words, you need to do your research on the program and their faculty members and make a case for why you are a good candidate for their program. Review the Tips for Preparing Your Personal Statement in Chapter 6, and the article “Kisses of Death of in the Graduate School Application Process” for information on what to include and to not include in your Personal Statement.

Assignment:

Prepare a CV and Personal Statement for a graduate program of study. Refer to Chapter 6 of your Course Text for content and formatting examples of student CVs and Personal Statements. For the CV, it is acceptable if you do not have all of the experiences illustrated in the textbook examples; however, do be sure to include similar headings as placeholders to serve as reminders to add the information in later during your program of study.  You may choose to write the Personal Statement for the graduate program you selected for your Discussion Assignment, or you may select a different graduate program to focus on for this assignment.

Combine your personal statment and CV into one document before submitting to the link.

Note: For information regarding how your Assignment will be evaluated, please review the grading rubric located in the Course Information area of the course.

By Day 7

Question 1 of 6
Conceptual
1. The catharsis theory of aggression holds that:
a. aggressive impulses, if kept bottled up, will eventually fade away.
b. one act of aggression usually leads to further aggression.
c. one act of aggression reduces the likelihood of further acts of aggression.
d. frustration leads to aggression.
Why did you select this answer?
Question 2 of 6
Applied
2. The Iroquois Indians lived in peace for hundreds of years as a hunting nation, but in the seventeenth century, trade introduced by Europeans brought the Iroquois into competition with a neighboring tribe. A series of tribal wars developed, and the Iroquois ultimately became ferocious and successful warriors. This series of events suggest that:
a. warlike behavior is the result of uncontrollable aggressive instincts.
b. competition inevitably leads to violence.
c. changing social conditions can lead to changes in aggressive behavior.
d. aggressive behavior ensures evolutionary survival.
Why is this the best answer?

 

Question 3 of 6
Research/textbook
3. Bushman and Bonacci had an experiment in which people watched violent or sexually explicit or neutral TV shows with advertisements. Under which conditions did men and women recall the advertised products? How did the experimenters explain the reasons for this outcome?
Question 4 of 6
Research/reader
Article #26 
4. Explain Malamuth’s findings on the predictors of naturalistic sexual aggression.
Question 5 of 6
Personal Relevance
5. Some people believe that exposure to, or participation in, aggressive behavior is beneficial because it allows people to release their pent-up aggression. Where do you stand on this issue? Do you agree or disagree with this premise? Be sure to back up your answer with examples of relevant research.
Question 6 of 6
Summary
6. Most everyone would agree that reducing human aggression is a worthwhile goal—one that may be crucial to our survival as a species. Summarize two of the several methods for achieving this goal. Support your choices with the relevant research.
