Research proposal and annotated bibliography

/in /by

Question description

Hello,

Time is come to do the research paper as informed you before, so please read the instruction carefully, and do it according to the due date.

Research Paper (8-10 pages)

Due Date: Mon., April 16.

Write a research paper based on the attached the attached file “Research proposal and annotated bibliography” and please follow the below instruction:

The Task: You will research and write a thesis-driven, evidence-based 8-10-page academic research paper. Thesis-driven means you are building an argument throughout the paper. Evidence-based means the argument must be based on the material from your sources, NOT simply from your opinions.

This paper should incorporate all of the skill-building exercises that we’ve been practicing from the beginning of the course. This includes summary, analysis, synthesis, composing effective thesis statements, citing sources effectively, paraphrasing well, and constructing good sentences and paragraphs.

This paper will utilize the sources identified in your annotated bibliography, along with a few others. You must use at least six sources, though more is preferable. I encourage you to use academic books and academic articles (found in USF’s on-line databases.) If you use articles or essays found online, they MUST have an author listed, and they MUST be scholarly, i.e. written by experts in that field.

Length & Format: 8- 10 pages in the MLA format; 1-inch margins; 12-point New Times Roman font. You must include a Works Cited (Bibliography) page, and it must follow MLA format. (NOTE: This is not an annotated bibliography; just the citations themselves.)

If you are unsure about MLA form, please consult the OWL MLA page at Purdue University: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/11/

Question description

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Assembling a Career Path

This course provided you an overview of the discipline of psychology, including expectations for the psychology major, career options for students completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and career options for students who pursue a graduate degree.

Review from the readings the information on career paths for psychologists and counselors and do some of your own research using credible sources. Drawing upon the information you collected and analyzed in previous assignments and research, write a paper that outlines the career path that you think is most suitable for you at this point in your educational experience.

Be as specific as possible and include each of the following items in your paper:

  • Identify a career path and explain why it is a suitable choice.
  • Identify the skills, experiences, and educational requirements for this path.
  • Identify your strengths and weaknesses and explain how they relate to your chosen path.
  • Describe skills and experiences you have already gained and the preparation you have already made.
  • Describe skills, preparation, and experiences you still lack (e.g., research experience, volunteer work, and development of a professional network).
  • Outline a clear plan (including a time line) for meeting these goals and gaining these skills and experiences. Do outside research to discuss specifically where you can gain these skills and experiences, how much it will cost, and how you plan to prioritize.
  • Select and describe at least one professional organization that would be appropriate for you to join in your chosen career path and why it is the most appropriate. Identify the specific resources and standards it would provide you as a professional.
  • Design a plan for how you will ensure ongoing personal and professional development throughout your career. Include in the plan strategies established by research studies that foster a balance between physical and mental health. Identify options for seeking continued professional education in your area of interest or specialization upon graduation (e.g., conferences and online continuing education programs for professionals). Be specific and cite at least two sources for your personal and professional development plan.

Display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Cite at least one academic source for each of the bulleted items in the list above. Be sure to demonstrate ethical scholarship in the accurate representation and attribution of sources.

Submission Details:

  • Write a 5- to 6-page paper in a Microsoft Word document in a clear, concise, and organized manner. Include a cover page and a reference page in APA style. Apply APA standards to cite sources. Save your paper as

Question description

Paper must be about 2 complete double spaced pages in length and no longer than 2 ¼ pages in length. Below are the directions.

Each student will be required to choose a psychological concept or topic from what we have covered in class (either from chapter assignments or from class discussions). First, you must provide a clear summary of the topic, including a brief description (in your OWN words) of what psychologists and researchers have learned relevant to the topic. You must think critically about what we do and do not know about the topic based on the research found in the text or reviewed in class. You may choose to have additional references for this portion of your paper, but they are not required. Then, discuss how it relates to a real-world topic of your choosing. NOTE: the real-world topic and psychological concept you choose must relate directly to the course. If the connection to the course seems unclear, make it clear in your paper. That is, you must write about something in the news or something you or a friend have experienced that directly relates to something in class. You must describe HOW it relates. Give many clear examples illustrating the connection. Basically, and most importantly, show me that you have thought critically about it. Don’t just summarize the issue. Tell me how it is related to something you find interesting.

To summarize, here are the instructions on writing a satisfactory final paper:

1. Choose a psychological concept or topic (e.g., depression, short-term memory, classical conditioning, sleep, introversion/extraversion, psychotherapy) from what we have covered in class either from chapter assignments, Taking Sides articles, or class discussions. Explain why it interests you.
2. The topic you choose must relate directly to the course. If the connection to the course seems unclear, make it clear in your paper.
3. Clearly describe the psychological topic you are addressing and provide a brief description of what psychologists have learned about this topic.
4. Relate the topic to a few examples in your own life, the lives of others, and/or an issue that relates to society in general (e.g., something in the news).
