The Lesson Writing Assignments are worth 100 points each. These exercises are to demonstrate that you have read the material and that you have thought about the issues. This assignment consists of producing an essay of at least 600 words (this is not a mandatory word count but an estimate of the minimum needed to properly complete the assignment) on the provided lesson topics, as well as a title page and works cited page with at least three sources (your textbook and two outside sources) containing information used in the essay. The assignment is to be formatted according to the American Psychological Association (APA Guide) style. You should use Arial or Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spacing, and one inch margins on all four sides of the paper. Papers not formatted properly or with grammatical or spelling errors will lose points. The points lost will increase with each paper. For this class, abstracts are not needed since this is a smaller writing assignment. Also for this class, do not use direct quotes when writing your paper; paraphrase and cite instead.
