In order to prepare each candidate to write his/her paper, two additional assignments (three article reviews and a book review) will be completed that will aid in the preparation of the final paper. These two assignments will help the candidate to focus his/her reading toward producing products that can easily feed into the final paper thus yielding an integrated project made up from the various assignments.The final paper/project will include a reference page that shows research from a minimum of 6 reliable journals, dissertations, or other recent scholarly publications (some of which will have already been used in the assignments that feed into the paper – the 3 article reviews and the book that you choose to review can serve as 4 of the required six sources). Article ReviewsIn order to prepare for the final project, each candidate will prepare a 1-2 page APA review of three articles related to the topic he/she has chosen for the final project. By focusing these reviews towards one topic, the candidate will gain deeper understanding of the topic to be presented in the final paper/project. The paper should include the APA citation for the article and should briefly summarize the content of the article while also providing reflection as to why the article is pertinent to the knowledge of the writer. Book ReviewEach candidate will read one additional book (in the reading list or one of your choosing that relates to your topic).
