Assignment
Resource: American Psychological Association website.
Research is an important part of the learning process and in the field of psychology. The difference between good and poor research is often the lack of understanding the process and importance of sources. APA is a part of the research process. For this assignment you are assuming the role of an instructor who is presenting on research and APA guidelines.
The two concepts you must understand to complete this assignment correctly are 1) the difference between Peer reviewed and Non Peer Reviewed sources AND 2) A basic understanding of APA formatting rules.
Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with detailed speaker notes that includes the following:
The steps of the research process using a diagram. WHAT are the steps needed to complete a project or write a paper from gathering research to turning it in? (Make sure you are discussing the process to write a research based paper, NOT the steps used to complete a research study). Detail all of these steps and present them in a diagram form.
A list of 8 to 10 credible research strategies, and explain how they may be used. HOW/WHERE will you find your research? How will you know you have the correct sources and information? (You will find a lot of this discussed in your readings for this week).
The differences and similarities of peer-reviewed resources and resources that are not peer-reviewed. Explain the differences so someone who did not know what this was could understand.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
