The purpose of reality assignments is to apply course concepts to real-life experience. Reality assignments require students to engage in a real life experience then apply course concepts in a 2-3 page reflective paper.<\/p>\n

First select an experience. <\/strong>Several experience options are posted on Canvas for each reality assignment. Students select one option to complete. Students may develop their own option but must receive preapproval from the course instructor. The first reality assignment must be selected from the options for Unit 2 Theories<\/em>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Students will write a paper to apply course concepts to the experience. The paper should have 3 sections: introduction, application of course concepts, and conclusions:<\/p>\n

\n
• Introduction:<\/strong>One brief paragraph that identifies the experience selected and an overview of how the reality experience went. <\/li>\n
• Application <\/strong>of<\/strong> Course<\/strong> Concepts:<\/strong> Five paragraphs applying at least 5 course concepts (1 paragraph each). Each concept must be from the units being targeted by the assignment. A \u201cconcept\u201d is an Concepts include bold <\/strong>text vocabulary words in the text book or red words in the lecture PowerPoint slides. For Reality Assignment 1 all concepts must be from a human development theory from Unit 2. For Reality Assignments 2 and 3 at least one concept must be from a human development theory from the applicable course units. To receive full credit for applying <\/em>the concepts you need to:\n
  \n
  • Identify the concept by using bold<\/u><\/strong>text<\/u><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Define the You may use your own words or quote the text book or lecture notes.<\/li>\n
  • Cite source for the definition (e.g. instructor lecture; text book, course readings) using APA style citations (see assignment templates and \u201cWriting Style\u201d in course policies for resources). Citation examples are included in the assignment template. For text book citations please include the page number<\/u>. ***Do not use sources that have not been assigned as part of this course (e.g. websites).<\/u><\/li>\n
  • Provide a specific example of the concept from your Make sure the example occurred DURING<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    this reality assignment experience.<\/p>\n

    \n
    • BEWARE: when<\/u>completing<\/u> assignments<\/u> with<\/u> someone you know well to receive credit you must actually do the<\/u> assignment<\/u> as described for the purposes of this class AND apply concepts to this specific experience<\/u><\/li>\n
    • For example, if you choose to hold your sister\u2019s baby that you have held many times before, you must connect course<\/u>concepts<\/u> to what<\/u> happened<\/u> when<\/u> you<\/u> held<\/u> the<\/u> baby specifically for this In addition, although it is tempting<\/u> to<\/u> try<\/u> and<\/u> explain<\/u> the<\/u> causes<\/u> of<\/u> behavior<\/u> for<\/u> others,<\/u> making<\/u> broad<\/u> causal<\/u> inference<\/u> with<\/u> limited<\/u> evidence<\/u> is<\/u> inappropriate<\/u> (i.e.<\/u> \u201cThe<\/u> baby<\/u> I held cried the whole time because she has insecure attachment to her mother\u201d).<\/u><\/li>\n
    • Conclusions:<\/strong>Brief summary of your experience and This should be a reflection that includes responses to these questions: How has this experience influenced your perspective? What have you learned about human development?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
