Instructions for Critical Thinking & Application Prompts:
Each week, you will be presented with a series of critical thinking and application prompts.
You will be directed to the applicable set of prompts by clicking the “Take the Quiz” button below. Prior to starting this assignment, be sure you have carefully reviewed all of the content referenced on the Learning Materials page (and any other pages associated with the module).
Each prompt is generally worthy of at least 250 words (2 – 3 well-written paragraphs) in response. Be sure to connect with
(and informally cite in-text)
the applicable readings / videos from the module’s learning materials.
A note on in-text citing and connecting with the learning materials:
As a graduate student in a Master of Science degree program, it’s
very important that you offer perspectives and arguments that are grounded in theory and the scientific literature –
NOT personal opinion or anecdotal evidence. I don’t want a works-cited page, but I do want you to
clearly cite your sources in-text for the various connections you’ll be making between the learning materials and your application thereof. For example, one might write,
“While I marveled at the uncanny ability of the psychic to tap into my true personality, the Barnum Effect (Aronson, Chapter 2) could have well explained my feelings…” Be sure to use these informal in-text citations to make your arguments and support your perspectives.
ProTip:
You may want to copy the essay questions into a Word doc (or similar), and compose your responses to the worksheet prompts offline. Then you can return to the quiz submission page to “copy and paste” your previously composed responses into the text box associated with each of the prompts. Once you have done that, you can click the “Submit the Quiz” button near the bottom of the screen in order to submit your essay questions for grading.
The
Critical Thinking & Application essay-based quizzes are set to “single attempt” which means you cannot return to the quiz page to make revisions – so please keep that in mind and only “submit” your quiz when you are satisfied with your work!
