I have also attached an example of a URL and the rubric down below are instructions for the assignments on the main page where I posted the actual assignment. Please let me know if you have any questions”
URL 1: Since Willard Small (and the character’s name in the movie ‘Willard’ wasn’t an accident) invented the rat maze, animals have been an important part of psychological research. There was a time when you couldn’t become a psychologist unless you’d spent time in an animal lab and I have scars from rat and lemur bites to prove it—really. But animal research is on the way out. This week, I want you to argue the contrarian view. I want you to find a URL and make a case supporting animal research in psychology.

URL 2: After John Broadus Watson got drummed out of psychology, he joined the J. Walter Thompson Advertising Agency, which started a marriage between psychology and advertising that still exists today. So this URL is a relatively easy one - what is the CURRENT (let me repeat--CURRENT!!) relationship between psychology and advertising? And yes, you can get a degree in psychology and advertising, so for goodness sake, please don’t send me any web pages from colleges advertising their I/O programs, their Psyc and Marketing degrees, or their Consumer Psyc degrees. although that might not be a bad place to start your research.

URL Assignment Instructions
Directions for submitting URLs (uniform resource locator) 1. For seven weeks in the term, I will post the URL assignment for the week. Please submit the number of URLs listed in the schedule and a write-up for each URL (example below). YOUR DESCRIPTION OF EACH URL PART MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS. This means that the first URL you find and describe must be 150 words and the second URL you find and describe must be 150 words. Combined, the entire URL assignment will be 300 words. 2. The web pages you find should be relevant to the chapter topics and rather than a rehash of the chapter material, they should add NEW information to the material. 3. NO WIKIPEDIA – that is a blog! 4. Do NOT send the first couple of URLs that come up on Google. I am the king of Google! I have the crown, the scepter, the whole works. I will ding you if your URLs keep coming up as the first couple of Google items. Do some actual work here. 5. THIS IS IMPORTANT: Make sure you embed the URL into the text so that it is a hyperlink. That means that I can click right on it and go to the site. If I cannot do that, then I cannot grade it. To make it clickable in MOST e-mail systems: cut and paste in the whole address and then hit 'ENTER'. That should turn it blue, which means it is a clickable link. 6. What I am looking for are critical thinking and synthesis of the new material with your knowledge from notes/text, a little basic analysis. Google 'Bloom's Taxonomy'--this is a senior level class, so I would expect more than just regurgitation of what you read--I would expect some analysis and evaluation as well. -------------------------------------------------------- SUBMITTING THE ASSIGNMENT: 1. Upload your URL into the appropriate assignment folder on Moodle. 2. Make sure you upload both URLs into the Moodle file. EACH URL ASSIGNMENT HAS TWO TOPICS. Answer both questions. Again, you must use your NSULA email account; otherwise, I will not receive it. 3. Check your course calendar or the Instructor's Administration Sheet for the specific dates and times URL assignments are due. Feel free to turn your URL assignment in early. Example of a URL and full point write up. URL #1: http://www.enoughinfoaboutLocketochokeahorse.com This website gave a detailed description of Locke's life and times, focusing on the political upheavals, including the overthrow of James II and the bloody persecutions and massacres by the Puritans when they took over England. These experiences, along with Locke's forced exile to Holland for his political views, heavily influenced his theories--which in turn heavily influenced our founding fathers. For example, the massacres in the name of the state religion caused him to believe in freedom from religion, which shows up today in our American Bill of Rights (Amendment #1). His own experiences under different kings and under Cromwell's Puritans led to his belief in the legitimacy of revolution against tyrannical rulers--which shows up in our Declaration of Independence. Could Locke have formulated these concepts if he had lived in other times? Probably not. Locke is a notable example of 'the times make the man.'
