Ethic in information.

Here is a description of the project assignment for which you must address all of the following criteria as that is the basis for rubric grading.

Objective: Prepare a text-only research report with a total minimum of 1,000 words based on the topic, (3) questions, and (3) reference sources indicated in your previous C1 report. A 500 word synopsis must be part of this report and the total minimum word count.

Note: You must produce this project report in your original expression. Also, do not quote any source text and do not include any graphics of any kind in your project papers. Only use text and original expression - only that will be counted in addressing the minimum word count and addressing the topic criteria.

Note: After submission of your C1 report, your subsequent grading will include comments concerning your choice of topic and its possible refinement if/as needed for this C2 report in which you represent the result of your research on this chosen topic. Please check and follow any suggestions provided in the comments. If no comments suggest topic refinements, you can proceed with your topic as planned.

Important Note: Before the beginning of course week 7, you should copy/paste your C2 report within the body of a post in the discussion area of your assigned Study Group for subsequent review by group members as a possible topic for the C3 group project.

Submission Requirements: Submit the assignment response for grading in your corresponding project Assignments Folder as a single attached Microsoft Word file (as an .rtf or .doc format file).

The following elements must be addressed using the following required headings:

Introduction (heading):  introduce the topic selected for research

Answer to C1, Q1 (heading): the following parameters apply: Quality of Research: In-text Citations: Flow/Transition

Answer to C1, Q2 (heading): the following parameters apply: Quality of Research: In-text Citations: Flow/Transition

Answer to C1, Q3 (heading): the following parameters apply: Quality of Research: In-text Citations: Flow/Transition

Two other criteria are the basis of grading:

APA Compliance: All reference sources and in-text citations must be used in accord with APA style requirements. For the chosen article, you must provide both a citation with the body of your text where it is first being referenced AND a corresponding reference after the end of your report. The reference to your online article must include the Web address (URL) that when clicked by a mouse will open a browser to the corresponding Web site (i.e., one that anyone can click on to re-access the original article). Both citation and reference must be in compliance with the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting rules. Note: The URL should be cited in the APA reference for an online article. Here is a link to descriptions and examples of APA references by category of online article publication:
