(TIP: 1. turn the volume all the way up and use headphones. 2. try different browsers to view the video, and 3. be sure you have the plug ins needed for that browser. For example when I use Firefox, I always have to have the java plug in installed or I can't hear the sound. Lastly, you can contact tech support and see if they can help you. This is a supplementary video and the assignment can still be completed without seeing the video.)

Review the Final Paper instructions found within the Assignments link. The Research Paper is due on Tuesday of Week Six. To help with the preparation of the final paper, complete the following and submit to your instructor for feedback.

Each student will pick one topic from the list below.

They include:

- Title page in APA format (Times New Roman, 12 font only)

The below areas are required subheadings that must be included within your paper.

- Topic: Select a topic of interest to you. This will contain the description of an area of interest from the course not discussed by the student on the discussion boards (this can be a topic another student discussed). This description will contain 2 or 3 substantial and thorough paragraphs explaining key concepts of the topic area. This portion of your paper must be written in third person, Times New Roman, 12 font only.

- Thesis: Develop your thesis statement. This will become the point or perspective you will argue or prove in the paper. Please see the writing tutorials in the library for information on how to develop a solid thesis. This portion of your paper must be written in third person, Times New Roman, 12 font only.

- Annotated Bibliography: For this paper you need to do research in peer-reviewed journals or other journals that are considered to have reliable information (do not use sources from the secular press, i.e. Time, Newsweek, Parent's Today). In addition to the textbook, you need at least three articles from professional scholarly journals and not popular Internet sites (if you do find something on the World Wide Web, it must be authored and be a reliable source). In these journals, the research and information is either reviewed by an editorial team (such as for the Harvard Business Review) or a group of peers (such as in many journals you find through the APU online library). This portion of your paper can be written in first person, Times New Roman, 12 font only and research cannot be older than 5 years.

The purpose of the Annotated Bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills including: critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. The Annotated Bibliography should include the following information for each source:

Name of the article, including the complete bibliographic citation, using APA format.

- Who? (author)
- How? (was it done)
- Contributions? (new findings, applications, etc.)
- What were the findings? (identify the major ones)
- What was done? (for example, an experimental study investigating the interaction of short term memory and attention)

Each annotated bibliography should contain a minimum of 5-7 sentences per reference.
