PSYC 631

This week’s materials discuss romantic relationships in adolescence. From a Christian perspective, this is a very interesting topic since the Bible has so much to say about correct behavior in relationships. There are so many warnings about sexual behavior before marriage (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4), the lure of lust (e.g., 1 John 2:16), and the danger of being in a relationship with someone who does not share your same beliefs (e.g., 2 Corinthians 6:14-15). On top of the typical challenges associated with adolescent dating relationships, Christian adolescents must navigate their relationships in light of these Biblical truths as well. I encourage you to consider the information and research presented this week within the context of this Christian worldview.

Tips for success this week:

· This week you will submit your Communication Project: Final Assignment. Remember that the purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to communicate academic material from the course to a hypothetical layperson This means the language used in your project should be understandable to someone who is not familiar with the field of psychology (i.e., use simple language, avoid too much psychological jargon).

· It is fine if you have changed some details since your communication project proposal in Module 3, as long as the final project meets all criteria. Your project must use at least 2 academic references: 1 from a module reading and 1 from an outside academic source published within the last 7 years. You must include an APA-style Reference Page with your project.

Communication Project: Final Assignment Instructions

Overview

For this assignment, you will submit a creative project focusing on the communication of a major content area covered in the course to a hypothetical layperson audience (e.g., adolescents, parents, teachers). You must communicate the material in a creative/engaging way (e.g., PowerPoint presentation, website, pamphlet, YouTube video/PSA) and demonstrate an ability to summarize academic material for a non-academic audience. This is an important skill in various professional roles. You are encouraged to get creative and have fun with this project, so do not feel confined to the format examples listed above.

Instructions

Because you have some creative freedom of your work, your final projects are likely to vary considerably, but requirements for full credit are listed below:

1. Your project must clearly communicate course content in a way that would be understandable to the intended audience. Be sure to explicitly state your intended audience in your project.

2. Your project must include the use of at least 2 academic references.

· One source must be a course reading.

· One source must be an outside academic source not included in module readings (academic books or peer-reviewed articles only) that has been published within the last seven years. Articles from newspapers, magazines, websites, and dissertation/thesis databases may not be used.

· The sources must be integrated into your project somehow (e.g., citations in a pamphlet/presentation, verbally citing sources in a video).

3. Your project must include an APA-style reference page listing your cited sources in current APA format. This can be included as a separate page/document or added on to the end of your project (e.g., a reference slide in a PowerPoint presentation).

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
