Directions

Answer ALL components of the assignment listed above.   Your response should implement some of the concepts, theories, materials, etc. we have reviewed this week (bold and underline the concept only).  The assignment should reflect your knowledge of the subject matter and application of course material along with your thoughts and perspective on the subject matter. Make sure to use proper grammar and punctuation in this college-level course in all correspondence. The assignment deadline is 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. Your assignment should be a minimum of 300 words long and implement at least ONE SOURCE CITATION (from your text, supplemental material I’ve posted, or articles you’ve researched on your own).  Be sure to cite your sources in APA format and to include a reference page (the reference page will not count towards the 300-word minimum requirement). Refer to the Purdue OWL website for questions related to APA format (*note: this is the website I will be using all semester and the one I want you to follow for the class for APA citation format).
