Helping in Emergencies
Each student is required to write a brief paper (2-3 pages). Students may use the internet, library resources, and other media (must include and cite three references in addition to the Carlson et al. text book) to investigate a specific topic that is related but not identical to the course material. Papers should be typed (double spaced), saved as a Word document, and submitted to the professor via email. Be sure to reference the material you use (last name of author and year; or url address if web source). Do not cut and paste, but rather put the materials into your own words. Note: papers will be submitted to turnitin.com to check for proper citation of material and to assess for plagiarism.
Choose only one (1) of the following topics for your paper:
Adolescent Gender Differences
Helping in Emergencies
How Attitudes Influence Elections
Are IQ Tests Culturally Biased
Emotional Intelligence
