Teacher’s Comments:
Guidelines for Research Project
1. Choose your own lifespan topic to investigate in depth
2. Write questions about the topic that you want to answer. Always include implications to parenting and teaching.
3. Show multiple perspectives on the issue, discuss your personal experience relevant to the topic.
4. Do related fieldwork to investigate the topic in Philippine setting.
5. Have at least 10 key references (listed using APA format) aside from the references that I listed. Use psychological journals.
Avoid popular media and esoteric sources as references.
6. All papers must be original and written individually. Plagiarized papers will automatically get 5.0
7. Late papers will get .25 “deduction” per meeting day past the due date.
8. I do not accept emailed papers.
9. I do not accept lack of internet access as an excuse for missing due dates, unless there is a natural disaster
10. I do not accept a stolen, broken, or crashed computer as an excuse for missing papers. Since the class is mostly online, you
should have a back-up plan in case your usual computer is available.

Rubric
Each paper is worth 10 points
10 - This paper is excellent, not only answering the questions, but also reflecting deeply about your own views and how they
compare/contrast with class discussion and readings. You took time to think about the topics discussed in class and then
expressed those thoughts in your paper. Then, you took time to express how the topics discussed in class can be implemented in
your class, or in your life.
8- This paper answers the questions and is well presented. It is overall complete, although you may have been able to go into more
depth or incorporate readings/discussions more.
6 – Your paper addressed the question, but not in depth and did not show as much reflection as was expected. You had a very
busy weekend. You took time to think about the topics discussed in class and then expressed those thoughts in your paper.
2- You hastily threw this paper together not really addressing the question. But hey, you got something in. You wrote something.
But it was unclear what you wrote about. It had something sort of to do with class. Thanks for handing something in.
0- Your paper was not completed. You probably went camping and forgot all about it.
