You will write an approximately 4 to 6-page research paper (not including the cover page and reference page) (line spacing ~ 1.5) involving a topic of child psychology. The objectives of this assignment are to allow you to explore a topic of interest to you that we wont cover in class, and to strengthen your research and writing skills. You will need to cite at least five references; up to two of these can be from books and the rest from academic journals. You should strive to find the most up-to-date sources. You can use the online library resources and research the topics and obtain the sources that you need. I will grade the papers based upon style, content, and references. Is the paper well-structured? Are grammar and spelling correct? Are references cited correctly in the text and at the end? Is the paper a pleasure to read? I strongly recommend that you write your paper a few days early and let it sit so that you can review it with a fresh eye. It is also a good idea to get input from a tutor at the Learning Center. Do you cover the most important points of the issue? Do you have up-to-date information? Were you able to locate the most important sources of information for your topic? Ask for assistance from the librarian if you are struggling finding sources. Purchase the answer to view it
