Description
Writing Assignment #2 must be in APA format. There are prompts below to pick from. Pick ONE prompt to research. This writing assignment will be worth 40 points and MUST be in the proper format in order to pass the course. I have included several help links for guidance if you are not familiar with APA formatting. I have included lots of help with APA format. Each paper should be approx. 5-7 pages (not including title page and works cited). Look at the prompts and pick which one you would like to research and then start looking for articles. Your first assignment is the annotative bibliography, please look over the description. This will get you started and be very helpful when you go to write the final paper. Use the links I provided or the EFSC writing centers to help. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Please remember if you are using electronic sources, reputable websites only. You can usually tell by .org, .edu or .gov. Chapter 5 deals with developing healthy behaviors. Should you choose this assignment, you will to need pick a behavior that you would like to change. It could be anything from breaking an addiction to eating healthier to studying more. You will need to first describe the behavior that is causing your problems, don’t forget to add the consequences of this behavior, then describe your goal, then describe the steps that you will take to get you to your goal. (You may want to look up some information on Behavior Modification, and use the information in the textbook). Your paper will include, a designated problem behavior, a goal, a plan and the results of your efforts in making it a reality. Don’t forget to use at least six sources which should be easy to find. (You may even want to find out how Behavior Analysts work with patients to help people or the different approaches to making changes, the possibilities are endless). I already have the sources of the annotated bibliography, if you feel the need to change it just do it but make sure it’s an educational website (.org, .edu or .gov.)
