Psychology: Starting Your Assignment

Things to think about:

  • What does your instructor want you to accomplish with this assignment?
  • What topic(s) are you interested in?
  • Which topics will fit the instructor's criteria as listed in the syllabus?
  • How many scholarly/peer-reviewed sources will you need?
  • Are you allowed to also use "other" online sources?
  • Looking at the timeframe of the assignment, when should you start your research
  • Will you need any assistance in either a) doing research or b) writing/editing your paper?  If so, be prepared to reach out for help.
