From the Syllabus:
Using the concepts covered in this course, students will write six- to seven-page, not including title page and references, double-spaced application paper as part of the assignments to meet the learning objectives of this course. In this application paper, students will research specific concepts/ideas covered in the course. This paper should also demonstrate how the theoretical concepts apply to real life situations.
In their paper, students are expected to combine their own thoughtful analysis with ideas and information found in the textbook and other sources. Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature – this paper has to be an analytical paper, not a summary of readings. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
