Journals entries are completed in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 12.
The journal entry for week three is submitted on Sunday of week three. This is to allow you to receive early feedback to apply to your remaining journal entries.
The journal entries from weeks 5-12 are graded cumulatively. This means that you will only turn in one document (in week 12 of this course for those five entries). Your journal entries must move beyond a basic reiteration of the text, should not be based on opinion, and should incorporate lecture material, concepts from the textbook, or other evidence from scholarly sources. This means you will spend extra time developing these entries. Each entry must be 2-2½ pages, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman size 12 point font, and have one-inch margins all around. Please follow APA formatting to include a separate cover and reference page and all other formatting guidelines. Although you have six individual journal entries, the assignment should be submitted as one document, for a total of 12-18 pages (maximum, excluding cover and reference pages).
