TOPIC: How Technology and Science Can Help Us Understand Consciousness
Task:
Students work individually to ccomplete an informative and interesting essay (or other project format, subject to approval) on a topic relevant to consciousness. Students will be working on elements of this essay throughout the course, so they must choose their topic early (see list of topics below or choose a topic of your own-the latter requires professor approval).
Research Component:
Include at least five quality sources from places such as the academic journals, internet, newspapers, magazines, books, etc. Note that any source used should be assessed beforehand using CRAAP criteria (currency, relevance, authority, accurateacy, purpose). Note that scholarly academic journals are the preferred source type and should be used where possible. You must acknowledge any borrowed content using the APA style of documentation (in-text citations and references page).
Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable source and will not count towards your research component.
Requirements:
- Format: Essay (or other format upon professor approval)
- Double space entire document and indent the first line of each new paragraph
- Include a title page in APA style (e.g. guidelines can be found at the Purdue Online Writing Lab)
- Include a logical title boldfaced and centred on first page (after title page) as per APA style (e.g. "Current Debates on Consciousness")
- Length: 1500 words (+/- 15O words) - title page and references page do not count towards word count (you do not need to include an abstract--if you choose to anyway, it will not count towards total word count)
- Use correct APA style for in-text citations and references page (note that it is unacceptable to submit a reference list without in-text citations to show where exactly each sources was used within the report).
- Style and Grammar: Apply all of the principles of correct punctuation, grammar, mechanics, and spelling
