We recommend writing each as you read the article during the course. You must submit them all in one document at the bottom of this page.
Formatting & Sources
Please write your paper in APA format. You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least one other source and cite it/them using APA format for each individual response.
Primary sources include peer-reviewed journal articles describing original research and experimentation. They can also be first-hand accounts such as interviews, speeches, statements, and press releases. Secondary sources include reviews or compilations of studies.
Both types of sources can be found in scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Psychology and Brain Studies. You may use sources like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the American Psychological Association to find articles from these journals. Valid sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)
