GROUP PROJECT (45%)
Basic Requirements
Length Finished manuscripts should be between 5,000 - 6,000 words, excluding references. This
will be somewhere between 25 - 30 single-sided, 1.5-spaced manuscript pages.
Reference Style
You should refer to Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) for
the appropriate way to format in-text citations and the reference list. Tables and figures should
also be formatted in accordance with APA style.
Suggested Chapter Outline
§ Introduction - A brief overview of the chapter, its theme, and purpose.
§ Discussion of your topic. What are the primary or related issues? Why this an important
topic? Include historical or theoretical background or reference current debate, if relevant.
§ Proposed solutions. Examples of model practice, ideas, or programs. Practical ideas that can
be implemented on other campuses are especially helpful.
§ Conclusions and recommendations.
Tables, Figures, Appendices
In some cases, you may find that tables, figures, or appendices are needed to fully develop a
topic or make it more accessible to the reader. Unless you are writing a contribution for a
research-based book, the use of tables and figures should be limited.
Quotes and Extracts
All material taken from previously published sources—whether quoted directly or paraphrased—
should be appropriately cited in the text and be accompanied by a corresponding citation in the
reference list.

ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES
1. The assignments should be typewritten, 12 Times New Roman point-font, and 1.5 spaced, with

3. The contents of the assignment must be based on your opinion, discussion, details, and your
critical thinking.
