Research Participation The purpose of this assignment is to provide students opportunities to participate in research projects that help students understand the theories and principles described in their classes. Students who do not complete this requirement by the last day of the course will receive a ZERO for failure to complete the assignment. Alternatively, if students do not wish to participate in research, they can complete an alternative assignment. You may read an article from academic journal focusing on family dynamics. Reading one article and writing a 1.5 to 2-page paper that summarizes the content and relates it back to the subject matter or our course will count as one research credit. Students can read as many articles/write papers according to credits needed. (For example, if a student only wanted to write papers, s/he would need to submit 6 papers to fulfill the 6-credit requirement). Students can choose whichever articles seem most interesting to them. Papers will be submitted to me in Canvas. NOTE: Students can do any combination of research participation/ research alternative papers to meet the 6- credit requirement. For example, the requirement could be fulfilled by completing 5 hours of experiments (equivalent to 5 credits) and writing 1 paper (equivalent to 1 credit) for a total of 6 credits. Again, students should be sure to complete all 6 credits or risk a zero for the assignment.
