Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Prentice Hall. Grading Events & Grading Criteria Unless otherwise specified, all assignments must be submitted via Blackboard Course Preparation Quiz 15 Points Discussion Board (Week 1, 2, 4) 100 Points Project One (Law Enforcement) 150 Points Project Two (Criminal Law) 150 Points Exam One 100 Points Exam Two 100 Points Tech Live Weekly Reflections 60 points Total Points 675 Points Class Participation/Discussion: Students are expected to have read the assigned materials prior to the weekly module and be able to intelligently respond to questions about and discuss the readings. Points will be based on the following criteria: 1. Response to the posted question/topic within the week of the module keeping in mind that more than opinion is being solicited. Support your opinions/arguments utilizing course material and/or other relevant and academically oriented sources. 2. Response to at least two other students’ posts which is designed to foster interaction as well as designed to challenge one another to potentially look at topics or arguments from a differing viewpoint. Keep in mind the intent is not to cause argument but rather to challenge thinking. Students are encouraged to raise issues and ask questions regarding current or outside the classroom events that are related to the course. A student MUST have full participation with responding to all of the posted questions/topics for each module as well as a minimum of at least two responses to other students’ posts in order to attain the full one hundred (100) points for class participation. Projects (2): Students are required to write two (2) papers describing (2) major components of foreign country of the students choosing (instructor must approve selection). The assignments will require the student to research, write a paper, and make a presentation, by means of developing a PowerPoint presentation covering the material presented in the formal paper describing (1) Police/Law Enforcement of a foreign country and (2) The Criminal Law Components of a foreign country. The specific topics and grading criteria for the written assignments and presentation follow and are incorporated into this syllabus. Written assignments are to be word processed using Microsoft Word, size 12 New Times Roman font, double spaced with one (1) inch margins around the page (default), using the American Psychological Association (APA) citation method. Your research papers and presentations should be thorough and scholarly. Jargon, lingo, and street language are to be avoided and their use will decrease your grade. By way of example, and not limitation, “cop†is generally unacceptable, “police officer†or “law enforcement officers†is preferred. A person may be “mentally ill†or “legally insane†(they are not the same), not “nuts†or “crazyâ€. The material expected to be covered in each written project is covered toward the end of this syllabus. Keep in mind, the paper should be written as such. In other words, based off the material list pertaining to information that should be covered, make the information into a paper—do not simply bullet point answers. Further, ensure that you are crediting the source(s) used for the information that you are referencing by utilizing the proper APA format. The written paper must be submitted prior to the date/time due, as noted in the course schedule, and submitted via Blackboard’s SafeAssign feature. The PowerPoint portion of the assignment must be submitted via an electronic mail (email) attachment prior to the due date/time or utilizing the submit feature within the respective module under the assignment section. If the student runs into problems submitting the email due to size of the attachment, “note pages†of the presentation would be perfectly acceptable. If questions arise in regard to how to do so, in advance, ensure that you get with the instructor to work through PowerPoint to “printâ the note pages if necessary.

A 90-100% B 80-89.99% C 70-79.99% D 60-69.99% F 59.99% or below 5 Typing Template for APA Papers: A Sample of Proper Formatting for APA Style College of Forensic Psychology, Grand Canyon University PSY-530-O500: Contemporary and Ethical Issues in Psychology Professor Chappell September 14, 2022 Typing Template for APA Papers: A Sample of Proper Formatting for APA Style This is an electronic template for papers written according to the style of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2020) as outlined in the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association . The purpose of the template is to help students set the margins and spacing. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The text is left-justified only; that means the left margin is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is indented 0.5 inch. It is best to use the tab key to indent, or set a first-line indent in the paragraph settings. The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. One space is used after punctuation at the end of sentences. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman and the font size is 12 point. This font and size is required for GCU papers. The Section Heading The heading above would be used if you want to have your paper divided into sections based on content. This is a Level 1 heading, and it is centered and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. The heading should be a short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will have headings beyond Level 1. The paper title serves as the heading for the first paragraph of the paper, so “Introduction†is not used as a heading. Subsection Heading The subheading above would be used if there are several sections within the topic labeled in a first level heading. This is a Level 2 heading, and it is flush left and bolded, and the initial word and each word of four or more letters is capitalized. Subsection Heading APA dictates that you should avoid having only one subsection heading and subsection within a section. In other words, use at least two subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any at all. Headings are used in order, so a paper must use Level 1 before using Level 2. Do not adjust spacing to change where on the page a heading falls, even if it would be the last line on a page. The Title Page When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. You will also need to change the items on the title page. Fill in your own title, name, course, college, instructor, and date. List the college to which the course belongs, such as College of Theology, College of Business, or College of Humanities and Social Sciences. GCU uses three letters and numbers with a hyphen for course numbers, such as CWV-101 or UNV-104. The date should be written as Month Day, Year. Spell out the month name. Formatting References and Citations APA Style includes rules for citing resources. The Publication Manual (APA, 2020) also discusses the desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although APA Style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of the paper. GCU has prepared an APA Style Guide available in the Student Success Center and on the GCU Library’s Citing Sources in APA guide ( for help in correctly formatting according to APA Style. The reference list should appear at the end of a paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. A sample reference page is included below. This page includes examples of how to format different reference types. The first reference is to a webpage without a clear date, which is common with organizational websites (American Nurses Association, n.d.). Next is the Publication Manual referred to throughout this template (APA, 2020). Notice that the manual reference includes the DOI number, even though this is a print book, as the DOI was listed on book, and does not include a publisher name since the publisher is also the author. A journal article reference will also often include a DOI, and as this article has four authors, only the first would appear in the in-text citation (Copeland et al., 2013). Government publications like the Treatment Improvement Protocol series documents from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (2014) are another common source found online. A book without a DOI is the last example (Holland & Forrest, 2017). References American Nurses Association. (n.d.). Scope of practice. American Psychological Association. (2020).
