This week for your Unit Assignment you will research and answer the following questions below. The total assignment must be a (minimum of 2,200-word count) and six scholarly sources, one source must be a peer-reviewed journal article published in the past 7 years. Your textbook may be used as a source. Use in-text citations and remember to cite your sources in APA format. Be sure to follow instructions and answer each part of the question completely, failure to do so will result in a point reduction per question. I will check the word count for this assignment and deduct additional points if the paper does not meet the minimum requirements stated above. Encyclopedias and Dictionaries are not appropriate research sources at this level. No Wikipedia!
I expect perfect APA technique at this level. You also are expected to do more than the bare minimum word count and scholarly sources at this level. The essay presentation is more scholarly than paragraphs of short answers and helps build the skills needed for doctoral programs.
