General You should work on this essay individually. The essay should be typed and double spaced. Please keep in mind that you should base your essay in the course readings. You do not need to reference all course readings, but you need to demonstrate that you read studies relevant to your topic. You are not required to add any other material than the class readings, but you are welcome to do so if you find a study that relates to the topic covered in and properly reference it.
Assignments should be between 3 to 5 pages long, not including the references. There is no required format for this assignment. I encourage you to use APA style for your citations, but you can also use other formats such as MLA or ASA/ASR.
