Mechanics:
Papers should be a minimum of 750 words. (Note: This word count works out to about 3 double-spaced pages. This word count does not include any headers, titles, long quotes, or other sections of the paper not originally created by the student).
Papers should be proof-read in addition to using a spell checker.
Please use at least three viable academic sources for each mini-project. Yes, your text book counts as one viable source.
Do not simply copy-and-paste large quantities of material from books, websites, articles, etc. Use short quotes, as well as summaries and your own thoughts about the information. The total portion of directly quoted material in the paper should be around 10-15% of your total word count – all of which needs to be appropriately referenced.
Please be sure to use correct APA citations for resources you use (titles, authors, website addresses, etc.) to avoid any type of plagiarism, and include a bibliography at the end (if appropriate).
Remember this is more of a mini-research paper than a mini-opinion paper. Make sure to support all claims and facts with viable sources and citations.
Canvas will already tell me who the paper is from, what date/time it what submitted and what assignment/class your paper is for; so you do not need to include this information in your paper.
Please use APA formatting.
Students may wish to visit the Student Learning Center (Writing Center) in Mukilteo Hall for free advice on their paper before submitting.
Papers will be submitted directly into a Canvas page on the week they are due.
Each mini-project is worth 50 points. Here is the topic for the this Mini-Project:
Think of an imaginary adolescent or an imaginary young adult (but not both), and describe that imaginary person.
Create your own perfect world to meet the developmental needs for your imaginary person. Your perfect world will need to address all the developmental tasks for that person in the key domains (social-emotional, cognitive, and physical).
As you are designing your perfect world, make sure to incorporate concepts and ideas from key developmental theorists (more than one) to support what you are designing for your imaginary person. And, make sure to include citations in your paper as you reference these theorists’ work.
