Comments from the instructor:

For this Assignment, you were asked to provide a basic outline for your final project. Your submission should have included the six life events that you will include in your final project. Of these six events, at least one of each must have occurred in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. In addition to identifying the six events, you were to include a brief (2-3 sentences) summary of why each of these events was impactful on your development. You did not need to include resources for this assignment – the purpose was to advance your planning for the final project. The following are your scores for this week’s application assignment:

Responsiveness: 6/6: For the most part, the paper adequately met the standard criteria as outline in the instructions for this assignment, initial reflections about influences on development were indicated. It looks like you are off to a good start. However, the 6 separate events were somewhat difficult to discern. Going forward, clearly specify events.

Content: 6/6 Some understanding, and application was demonstrated.

Writing: 2.5/3 For the most part, writing meets standards for this assignment. APA Headings should be used for easier reading and organization.

An abstract is not required. An introduction and conclusion are required. For the final project, you will need to elaborate more and indicate more specifically how each of the six events may have impacted your identity, cognitive and/or social development. Also, integrate the current literature and use developmental theory to align with life experiences and support statements. Be sure to follow the Final Project Guidelines.
