The Final Paper should demonstrate understanding of concepts
addressed across the course as applied to a selected case study. This
type of project will be important as you continue with and complete
your program because the skill sets of applying your knowledge will be
of great use to you when you are ready to go out into the job market
and/or apply them to your daily life.
To begin, review the case study you selected in Week One of the
course. Remember, you must use this case study. Pay special attention
to the topic you selected and the area from which you will draw your
research on the topic as noted in the title of the case study. For
example, if you selected Case Study #1, you would explore the topic of
severe depression from the clinical psychology perspective. If you
selected Case Study #5, you would explore motivation from the
industrial organizational psychology perspective.
Next, research the chosen topic using scholarly resources and craft a
thesis statement regarding your selected topic. For assistance with
creating a thesis statement, utilize the Thesis Generator tool on the
Ashford University Writing Center website. Your paper must contain at
least six references from scholarly sources that are cited according to
APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Examples of
scholarly sources include peer reviewed journal articles, research
studies, professional websites with authored material, and government
websites. Popular Internet sites (Wikipedia, Newsweek, New York
Times, etc.) are not considered scholarly sources. For further assistance
in determining whether or not a site is scholarly, please access the
Evaluating Web Resources tutorial on the Ashford University Library
website.
