There will be three principal divisions of the material covered, and they will be covered roughly in sequence. The sequence of segments may strike you as being rather unusual. I will explain the rationale for that sequence in class. I want to stress the word concurrently. Writing in the APA style is something that needs to be developed over a long period.
Writing has to be going on over the entire course.
You will write three papers based upon data that we generate as a class project. The second paper will be an un-graded draft of the third paper that will be edited to help you write a better third paper. The computer work will also run concurrently with the other material, but it will require less time than the writing. There are approximate due dates for the papers listed in your syllabus. Actual due dates will be announced in class.
