Therefore, you are expected to draw sources both from the scholarly literature and from the popular culture, such as poetry, visual art, music, cinema, etc. Please include at least three scholarly sources and one popular source. Scholarly sources should be recent (within the last 5-10 years) unless an older source is pertinent for historical value. Cultural sources may stem from any time period in history.

Individual paper should present a scholarly consideration of the topic: following guidelines of scholarly writing, including the presentation of a significant thesis, a review of the research to back up your thesis, an analysis of the findings, and the drawing of appropriate conclusions. APA compliance and proper grammar/spelling are expected. Assessment will be based on the attached grading rubric.

Remember that your papers must have a base in psychological principles presented in the course material. You will need to connect your research with popular culture, as well.
