Erik Erickson and Psycho social Development

Using the concepts covered in this course, students will write three, five- to six-page, double-spaced application papers as part of the assignments to meet the learning objectives of this course. In these application papers, students will research specific concepts/ideas covered in the course. Each paper should present a different concept and respective theorist as well as demonstrate how the theoretical concept applies to real-life situations. Student are expected to combine their own thoughtful analysis with ideas and information found in a minimum of three other sources. Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature – this paper has to be an analytical paper, not a summary of readings. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
