Abnormal Psychology

Abnormal Psychology CAAP #2 Instructions1. Select two different Sage research articles from Modules 8 –
15. Sage research articles are found in each Module in Canvas. They are also found on the publisher’s study site on the left
side menu under student resources. There are SAGE Journal Articles for each chapter. Provide a critical summary of BOTH
articles, discussing them separately. Here are some questions to get you started, but you these are just to guide you: What
did you learn? What did you find interesting? Did the author(s) introduce any new or specialized terminology? Is it clear
the author is in favor or against a particular topic? How was it beneficial to the study of abnormal psychology? Do not
include the actual questions in your paper or as section headings. You can incorporate your answers into your writing.
Each critical summary should be at least two pages, so four pages total. If it is a little longer, that is fine. Be sure to apply
terms/concept(s) from the Modules, textbook, and/or the slide presentations. The assignment is called Critical Analysis
APPLICATION Paper; therefore, you should apply and connect terms/concepts from the course.2. Use at least two direct
quotes with citations (APA or ASA style) from an academic source (such the articles, text, module slides, or me) per
response to support your points. In your discussion, you may relate the articles to your personal lives, current events,
and/or class material. Write one summary, then the next, and then include your ONE reference page. It is all one paper,
but the discussions are separate. No late work is accepted. You will upload the entire paper as ONE attachment file under
ASSIGNMENTS in the online classroom. The attachment must be Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, PDF, or Word Pad
(RTF) format. I cannot open Mac files (Pages), so you will have to convert it. TurnItIn will check for plagiarism, so DO NOT
COPY FROM THE INTERNET OR OTHER SOURCES! Any direct info from any source needs to be in quotations with a
citation provided.3. Papers must be typed. Use a standard 12 size font in either: Tahoma, Times New Roman, Courier New,
Calibri, or Arial. The paper must be double spaced with one-inch margins.4. Put your heading (name and such) in the
header of the paper – you do not need a cover page or abstract. Put page numbers at the footer of the paper. Before each
summary, write the title of the article and the author’s name/authors’ names.5. Be sure to reference the author you
directly quoted, even if it is from the textbook or lectures. You should have a page at the very end called “References”. Feel
free to quote things I have said as well. You only need one reference page. Wikipedia and Dictionary.com are not academic
sources – you do not need to use them. The only sources you need for this assignment are your class notes, slides, and/or
textbook. Follow the American
Sociological Association format for “Citations in Text” and the reference page. See the attached file for examples. You only
need to use APA or ASA style for quotes, citations, and the reference page.6. When writing formally, avoid using
contractions (can’t, don’t, won’t). Use the full versions (can not, do not, will not). Do not use slang such as “cool”. Spell out
smaller numbers (twenty instead of 20). Do not end sentences in prepositions (with, for, by, along, in, out).7. Make sure
you break your work up into paragraphs. Do not submit one long paragraph for each critical summary
