SLP Assignment Expectations
Use concepts from the background readings as well as any academic resources you can find (Wikipedia-type sources are not acceptable). Please be sure to cite your sources within the text and provide a reference page at the end of the paper.

Length: 1–2 paragraphs per question, double-spaced, typed using 12 Point Times New Roman font.

The best way to approach this paper is to address each question in the order they are presented and number each one. All three questions have multiple elements, so make sure that you address each one. For example; begin by stating and addressing the first question. That can be followed by addressing the second part of the question.

The following items will be assessed in particular:

Your ability to apply the basic concepts to the questions.
Some in-text references to the background readings (APA formatting not required).
The essay should address each element of the assignment. Remember to support your answers with solid references including the background readings.
Upload your paper to the SLP 4 Dropbox when it is completed.
