*****I want to give you some tips for how to score well on this assignment.*************************

· Review the rubric!

o If you want to get points for a certain area of your paper, look at the rubric. It tells you how to make this happen

o One common error is that people do not include an Intro or Conclusion, and so it is hard for me to rationalize that they have a strong Thesis Statement & Development score. Be thorough and show strong attention to detail. If it is not present = 0.

o Address all the content areas identified in the guidelines for the assignment.

o Use an appropriate structure for your paper.

o FIND 2 PEER-REVIEWED SOURCES

§ Not web pages. Scholarly = Peer-Reviewed / Published

§ Aim to use current resources as well. Sometimes dated information leads people to state things as fact when they really are not viewed this way in the present.

o APA is King in the counseling field

§ All written submissions you will do in this field assume you understand APA format.

§ If you are not sure how to do this, consult the APA Manual and do a full read through for a few hours. This will earn you so many points in the future.

§ Find reputable web resources for specific formatting questions if you feel stuck.

§ Also- check out: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction.htmlThis page has lots of good resources

The rubrics for each assignment are fully utilized in my courses, and I have high expectations for my graduate students in relation to writing and articulating your message through your assignments.
