Assignment 3 (Kim Woods)Only

Unit 3 Project – TIPS!!!

· Read the instructions CAREFULLY!!

· Read the grading rubric in the syllabus before you finish your project. Preferably, you should read the grading rubric before you start your project

· Create an outline before you start typing your paper

· Use the KEY WORDS from the questions in your outline

· Your textbook and the video you choose should be your first stop for information. You can supplement the text and video with other sources (no Wikis though!).

· Make sure to cite (parenthetical – in text – citation) and reference all your sources

· Make sure to clearly state the video you are using

· – use 1 video for the entire paper (same video/experiment for all the questions)

· Make sure the video you choose is listed in the instructions

· Use the template provided in Announcements

· Keep the questions provided in the template in your final paper

· Remove and/or edit (whatever is needed for the location) the red font from the template

· Link in concepts from the text into each part of your paper

· Use examples from the video to demonstrate the text concepts

· **Make sure you define terms before using them in your paper

· Each section (paragraph) should contain APA formatted citations

· Make sure that your paper clearly addresses the themes and concepts from the text and you clearly link them to the chosen video/experiment.

**I would encourage you to have at least 1 full paragraph (may need 2-3 though) for each of the questions (your content should be 2-4 pages)

· Make sure to address all questions in your paper

· **If the video has social interactions (focus on the participants and any “actors” in the experiment – not on the experimenter/researcher), then you should be discussing social learning. Social learning is not only for the Bobo Doll experiment – it can apply to other videos.

· Observational learning can be located in chapter 7 of your text (Learning chapter) – definitely use this for the Bobo Doll study

· Social Learning is chpt 5

· Do not use Naturalistic Observational for Q4

· ALL the experiments have ethical aspects … Some experiments are unethical and have numerous issues. Even if the experiment was ethical, you should discuss ethics for that experiment (such as what ethical items were handled well)

· ***Include specific Ethical Principles (A-E) from chpt 1 and from the APA site ( http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ )

· For Harlow’s Monkeys , find the ethics Standard for Research – then look for Humane Treatment of Animals under the APA ethics code link. http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ and open the STANDARD for RESEARCH – then look for Humane Treatment of Animals standard

· http://www.apa.org/science/leadership/care/guidelines.aspx You can use this link for information on ethics of non-human animals

· Also, do a quick internet search for your experiment name and ethics to ensure you have a full understanding of the ethical issues for the experiment. For instance, if you state that the Little Albert experiment was ethical, you will have points deducted as it was *not* ethical.

· Use the KEY WORDS from the questions in your paragraph

· Your body of your paper (not including the title page and reference page) should be at least 2-4 pages (2 FULL pages, at a minimum)

· If it is longer, that is okay! But, you should be able to cover all the questions in 4 pages

· APA

· The entire paper should be in APA format -- **Use the template provided in Announcements

· Use citations in every paragraph in which you use information from a source

· Make sure to use the APA formatted citation for your text – located in Announcements. There is no reason why anyone should not know how to properly cite their text!

· Include a separate title and reference page (which is already formatted for you in the template).

· Use the proper APA-formatted reference for your text – located in Announcements. There is no reason why anyone should not be able to include a proper text reference

· Use an APA-formatted title page and reference page – again, use the template in Announcements

· Papers should be consistently double-spaced using MSWord’s paragraph function

· Plagiarism

· No more than 20% of your paper should be quoted material

· You MUST enclose EXACT WORDS within “quote marks” (Surname, date, p. #).

· After each quote, you must include a citation which includes a page #

· You will be submitting your paper to TurnItIn (TII) when you submit it to the Drop Box – make sure you look over the TII report and correct any plagiarism issues and then resubmit the corrected paper to your drop box by the deadline.

· Your TII % should be under 10%

· Plagiarized papers will be handled on a case by case basis – lowered grade, or earn 0 and report to university, etc…

· You may NOT reuse old papers – this is called self-plagiarism
