For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story "The bear came over the mountain" (Munro, 2013) and the film Away from Her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will begin working on this assignment (reading, viewing, drafting) in Unit four, but submit the initial draft of the paper in Unit Five. 

You will evaluate two main components:

    Does the film accurately depict the short story?
    Do the film and the short story accurately portray Alzheimer's?
    Provide evidence from both the film and the story.

For this essay, the short story is the source material. You are going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. First, you must establish the criteria. What makes the short story successful?  You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper. 

This essay should:

    have specific criteria, using the short story as source material
    use that criterion to make judgments about the film
    support the judgment with evidence from the text and film
    be 1000 words long
    have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)
        In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis.  Remember -- this judgment is not about the film or text is good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story. 
    include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs
    be written using APA formatting
    use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page
    avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)
    be submitted as a MS Word .docx file

Directions: In order to write a paper of 750‐1,000 words on professional ethical boundaries and practices, complete the steps below:
Write from the perspective that you are a mental health professional in the field. Provide a thoughtful response to each of the following two sections, including specific, concrete examples to illustrate your ideas. Your final deliverable should be one cohesive paper addressing each section along with an introduction and conclusion. Use the section headings provided below to separate each section of your paper.
Section 1: Boundary Issues and Dual Relationships (500‐700 words)
Part A – Decision‐Making Model and Examples
How would you determine if a boundary‐crossing or dual relationship is ethical and appropriate? What criteria would you consider when making your decision?
Present examples of how you would apply this criteria to at least two professional situations in which you believe the dual relationship issues are complex and ambiguous. One of your examples should address the issues of physical attraction between clients and professionals.
Part B‐Ethical Issues and Dimensions in Ethical Decision‐Making
Examine these issues in terms of encountering former clients. Address the following:
Do the ethical issues (and your opinion about appropriateness) change, depending on how long after the termination of services a dual relationship is initiated?
What are the key ethical dimensions that might change, after the termination of services?
Present an example of a situation that you believe would constitute a boundary violation with a current client but might be acceptable with a former client.
Section 2: Development of Your Thinking about Ethics (250‐300 words)
Clearly describe what you consider the most important developments in your thinking about ethical practice that have occurred so far during this course. This may include areas in which you have clarified your views and beliefs, modified your thinking on a given issue, gained new insights, or acquired a new perspective. It may include issues whose complexity you now appreciate more fully or difficult issues that you now understand you must grapple with, as a counselor. What have you most learned about yourself and/or about what constitutes becoming an ethical practitioner and how has your thinking about ethics and legal issues changed? Be sure to include specific examples to illustrate general statements.

A proposal is a written document that is prepared in an attempt to persuade the prospect to adopt the proposal's solution to a problem or need. The research proposal is the document that establishes that there is a niche for your chosen area of study and that the research design is feasible. Proposals are integral to grant funding in the social sciences. 
The proposal paper will include a one-page introduction, a literature review, one or more hypotheses that follow from the literature you reviewed, and a proposed research design with a discussion section. No results section is needed.
You will write a 10 page typewritten mock research paper describing a proposed empirical study of an within the psychological field. This will be a simulated research project in which you will pose a problem and methods for a study, but you will not actually collect data. You will review the relevant research literature on the topic, describe why the issue is important, and design a study to answer the question. 
The project should be organized around the following sections, following the standard APA format for psychology journal articles:

•    Abstract 
o    Include a summary of your paper in 150–250 words. It should describe the research problem, methods, results and conclusions of your research.

•    Introduction and literature review
o    Include a literature review and then give an overview of your proposed study and your hypotheses. Include theoretical and empirical background. Use original sources. Specifically address: What is the issue you are considering? Define it. Why is it important? What does the literature show that we already know about the problem and what do we still need to learn? What is your approach to the problem? Discuss your interpretation of theory and research and what further study is needed. What hypotheses about the issue will you propose to test in your study? This should be the bulk of your paper (approximately 6 pages). 

•    Method
o    How do you intend to find out? What are the variables you are interested in exploring? Give the nuts and bolts of the proposed study. Describe in detail your subjects, procedures, and specific measures you will use. Use subheadings for each section (participants, measures, procedure).
o    For example, if you are measuring depression you need to discuss the exact scale or inventory you will use to measure this construct. Where possible and relevant to your study, use existing measures with some known reliability and validity. (approximately 2 pages)

•    Discussion
o    What might your results be if you really carried out the study? What conclusions would you draw if they came out as you expected, or differently? Are there any broader implications or needs for further study? What are the limitations of your design? (approximately 1-2 pages)

Requirements and Guidelines 

You are expected to research the empirical literature related to your topic. It will be important to incorporate several (AT LEAST 15) references from the psychological literature in your paper. I am not just interested in your subjective views. Instead, I want you to demonstrate that you can support your conclusions and analyses with objective data (i.e., empirical research studies) and reasoned theory. Use databases online such as Academic Search Complete, PsychInfo and PsychArticles to search the research literature and consult up-to-date reputable peer-reviewed research journals and publications. Try to focus on articles dated 2015 and beyond. 
a)    For our purposes, websites do not count as one of your 15 required references. If you are using them in addition to the required sources, be sure to cite properly. 
3. Use APA style to note references and in text citations, which means referring to publications in your paper by author and year of publication and listing publications under REFERENCES at the end of your paper. Use APA 6th edition.

Develop a primary post (approx. 150 words) that responds to the following prompt by Thursday, 11:59pm. I encourage you to post earlier in the week to get our discussion going!

Choose a specific passage from Wallace Stegner’s “The Sense of Place” OR Brent Staples’ “Night Walker” to summarize, quote from, analyze, and inquire into. This can be any passage that “spoke” to you: it interested you, confused you, shocked you, angered you, etc. Summarize the passage and the author’s point of view and select a part of it to quote (remember your quote cupcake!). Analyze the passage by close reading the author’s tone, word choice, and meaning. Conclude your summary and analysis with a specific, open-ended question for the group about the passage, how it connects to another idea in the essay, or what it tells us about the importance of place. The goal is to get the group to dig deeper into the essay and the concept of place.
