I also uploaded the worksheet and the case study Vignette to help with the paper

Description.  A four to seven page (double-spaced) paper in which you apply one or more ideas from the course to something in your own experience is due during final exam week (see course calendar for the exact time).  The goal is for you to use what you have learned in the class in a way that is meaningful to you, and to evaluate the strength of the empirical evidence for the ideas you are applying.  You could use what you have learned about psychology to make sense of an experience you have had, to explain some behavior you have observed in yourself or other people, or to help create a plan to achieve some goal in the future, just to name a few examples.  A paper which merely cites general ideas from the textbook or lectures (“Similar contexts at encoding and retrieval make it easier to remember something”) is likely to be decidedly mediocre.  One that cites specific empirical evidence in a way that supports your interpretations and arguments (“Morris, Bransford, and Franks (1977) found that words were better remembered if the way they were tested matched the way people thought about them when they studied them.  I could use this ‘encoding specificity principle’ to help me …”) is likely to be a much better paper.  Also be sure to critically evaluate how strong the evidence is for the “facts” from psychology that you are applying.
Instructions.  Use the following section headings:
Issue.  Begin by describing the personal goal, problem, experience, or phenomenon that you will be addressing.  Explain briefly why it is interesting or important to you. (One paragraph)
Course Topics. Identify the topics from the course that you will be applying, including the relevant facts or theories you will make use of. (One paragraph)
Application.  Apply information from the course to analyze your experience, create a plan for achieving your goal, find a solution to your problem, etc.  Be sure to cite the specific sources for the ideas you are applying.  You can also refer to general principles from the course readings and lectures.  (2 to 3 pages)
Empirical Evaluation.  Evaluate the strength of the evidence for the “facts” you are applying from topics in the course.  If, for example, you applied the idea of “retrieval practice” to help you study more effectively, you might say something like, “The idea that retrieval practice leads to better memory is something we can be highly confident is true, because it has been repeatedly supported by well-controlled experimental evidence.”  Or if you applied the idea of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to identify things that were interfering with your academic achievement you might say, “Although intuitively appealing, the ideas described in Maslow’s Hierarchy are things we can have very little confidence are true, because they are mostly based on only intuition and observational research, not repeated and well-controlled experiments.”  Try to cite specific empirical evidence to support your conclusions whenever possible.  This can include primary sources such as journal articles.  (The library has a Guide for Research that is very helpful.) (2 to 3 pages)
Conclusion.  Sum up what you have done, and briefly discuss which information from the course you found most applicable to your issue.  Also briefly talk about what questions you still have or what further information you think you might need.  (1 to 2 paragraphs).
References.  Provide an APA-style reference list for any source you used in your paper, whether it is a journal article, textbook chapter, course lecture, website, content-generating tool such as an AI system, or anything else that is not common knowledge or your own words and ideas.  Each entry in the References list should also correspond to an APA-style in-text citation in the text of your paper.  Each entry in the References list must include a DOI, or if no DOI is available it must include a URL that links to the source (except for course materials).  Your paper must include at least 2 primary source references (such as journal articles).  If any of your references (except for course materials) do not have a working DOI or URL that links to the correct article, that can result in a zero for the assignment.
AI Tools List.  After the references, you must have this heading and a statement saying “I used the following AI Tools for this assignment:  [list them, including ChatGPT, Grammarly, and any others that can generate or modify text; or say “None” if you used none.]  Failing to include this statement will result in a zero for the assignment.  For full credit, you should also briefly describe how you used any text-generating tool, including the prompts you used.  
Grading
20 points:  Following instructions.  Are the 7 sections listed in the instructions above clearly labeled and in the correct order?  Does the paper follow instructions for form and content in general?  Gross failure to follow the instructions may also result in a zero for the assignment.
20 points:  Application.  Does the paper apply relevant ideas from the course in a way that makes sense?   Are they specific, or only vague and general ideas from the course?  Does the way that they are applied to your issue make sense?
30 points:  Empirical Evaluation.  Is specific empirical evidence cited for the ideas that are being applied?  Are references provided?  Is there a clear evaluation of how confident we should be that the ideas are true, and are clear reasons given for that evaluation?
20 points:  Clarity and style.   Is the paper written clearly and logically?  Do paragraphs have clear topic sentences and supporting ideas?  Is everything written in complete, grammatical sentences?  Are there too many direct quotations?
10 points:   Length and formatting.  Is the paper 4 to 7 pages of text, not including title, references, etc.?  Are the font-size and margins reasonable?  Is it double-spaced?  (Note:  A very short paper is likely to lose points for other categories as well as “length and formatting.”)
AI acknowledgement, working links for references, and generally following instructions: Required to get any points at all for the assignment (see above).
Anything that looks like an AI “hallucination” (a made up “fact” or a non-existent reference or incorrect DOI, for example) can result in a zero for the assignment.  This applies whether you used AI tools or not.
Turn in your finished paper using the submission folder.  Please keep in mind that all submissions are automatically checked for evidence of plagiarism. 
Plagiarism Warning
DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE’S WORDS in your paper!  Do not copy from your referenced sources.  Do not copy from a web site that summarizes your source.  Do not copy from another paper you have written for another class.  Do not copy phrases, sentences, or paragraphs from ANYWHERE!  That includes using automated content-generation tools like chatGPT.  Any words produced by something other than your own brain must be quoted and the source cited.  Instead, put everything in your own words: paraphrase, condense, and summarize the sources you cite.  Do not copy.  Also see the course FAQ and the documents from Week 1 for additional guidelines and warnings.
If your paper contains material copied word for word that is not clearly indicated to be a direct quotation (with quotation marks), you will receive a zero on the assignment for failing to follow instructions.  You may also face disciplinary action from the Academic Integrity Board.
Read the information on plagiarism provided in the Finals Week Checklist for this course and in the Academic Integrity section of the DePaul web site.

i need to write a psychology literature review for my bachelor course. the main topic of the course is neurocriminology and my question I need to answer is what I put in the topic section. it need to be in apa formatting. what I need is an introduction, main body, and then conclusion/discussion. it should be in an hour glass format, so the introduction goes from broad to specific and conclusion from specific to broad. i need at least 2 but preferably 3 subtopics in my main body. i was thinking in this order: 1. neurological effects of TBIs, 2. how those effects connect to criminal behaviour, 3. what other factors (socioeconomic status for example) can effect that connection. but that isn’t a must, just an idea that can be changed if its not good. i need some type of biological component tho that needs to be addressed. i want two articles per subtopic. these articles have to be empirical studies and you have to explain the article, so like what they found and how they did the study (methods) and connect to my topic, and also the limitations. it would be great if one study could build upon the previous one for that sub topic. like if the limitation for the first study was that it was not longitudinal, then the next one is longitudinal (just an example), but that doesn’t need to be if you cant find anything like that. i need a lot of in text references in the introduction, my tutor said like about every second sentence or so, but that was just her preference. also the intro should be like a page or a page and a half, but really any size is okay as long as it has everything I need. you can add quotes but not too many, I prefer only references (like just talking about it and then putting the article in text citation in quotes after it). i will attach the rule brick. also please include a source list like apa. no plagiarism. also for sources I need at least 5, but like I said I want 2 per sub topic at least and also more sources that are in the introduction and conclusion, you can reuse sources of course, but I would like to have a good amount of sources, not all of them have to be empirical studies, but the ones discussed in the main body should be. thank you.  

Chemical Evolution: Science…Or…Faith?
Perspectives on Chemical Evolution: A Critical Analysis (formerly Science News Report)
Read the four papers from the links provided in the Directions. In a two-to-three page report, summarize the main points of the four references, and evaluate the information in light of your own Christian worldview to respond to the following question: Does the presence of the complex biochemistry found within living organisms require an Intelligent Designer?
Some of the articles are scientifically difficult, while some are written to a more general audience, but you should now have sufficient background from this class to at least interpret the main points of all of the readings. You are not expected to fully understand the articles (especially the first one!) This assignment asks you to reinterpret difficult scientific information into a more general form that you could share will other church members, who may not have the scientific background you do!
The review should include:
a) A summary of the main points discussed in each of the articles. (10 points)
b) An analysis of the primary question from multiple points-of-view. How do the various groups interpret the data? Do all groups agree on the question, or what are various different positions? (10 points)
c) Why do the various groups see this information as important? How might they use this information to solve problems facing us today? (10 points)
d) How do you interpret the data from within a Christian worldview? How do you as a Christian answer the question? How can Christians use this information to make decisions or solve problems? Should Christians even discuss these types of questions, or should we just leave them to the scientists? (15 points)
The desired format of the written part is:
a) Third person (Do not use: we or I)
b) Two-to-three pages (limit yourselves to 3 pages)
c) Format references using a style that is appropriate for your discipline (MLA, APA, etc.) (Remember, you have four sources, so reference them in the paper!) (5 points)
d) Double space, typed document

Assignment 1: 
 
Watch the story of the movie Secret of the Wild Child, currently available in its entirety at the following web address:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3i5x05.
 
Questions to answer:
 
Briefly describe Genie’s early experiences and her progress in learning a language after she was found.
 
What does this case study suggest about the role of language in the primary socialization process?
 
What is the critical period? Does research with Genie support the notion of what linguists refer to as a “critical period” for language acquisition?
 
Why is this case study referred to as a “forbidden experiment”?
 
Why can’t we reach definitive conclusions about cause and effect using a case study? Regarding Genie’s situation, what potentially confounding variable makes it difficult to conclude with certainty that it was extreme social isolation that caused her cognitive deficits?
 
Describe the ethical issues surrounding Genie’s case, discussed in the film Secret of the Wild Child. Did the individuals involved in this research project behave in an unethical manner?
 

After watching Fight Club movie, it’s time to focus on the writing portion of this assignment.  The goal of your paper is to analyze the main character and his or her abnormal psychology.
