Social Agencies as Instruments of Oppression
Describe how social welfare agencies discriminated against African Americans and how these same systems may still oppress them. Use your personal and work experience as well as course readings to respond to this question. You may also need to do some outside research.

Psychology students need the ability to create informed consent and debriefing forms that adequately state the purpose of studies to the participants in an ethical manner. In your capstone class (your last class), it is an expectation that you have a created a consent and debriefing form for your research proposal. It could be beneficial if you create this assignment around the topic you would like to research.
Before you begin the assignment, view the APA website and read the ethics listings.
Using the Library, research consent and debriefing forms. Locate two to four scholarly resources to support your form.
Create an informed consent form and a debriefing form that explains the nature and true purpose of the study (students may adapt the examples from the textbook, see pages 65-66). Be sure to cite your sources at the conclusion of the document.

Please answer each of the following questions in a separate paragraph. Your post should be 200 words minimum.
How can your psychology degree benefit you in your future career or academic program? In other words, what have you learned from your undergraduate education that may help you be a better employee, person, student, etc? This question is relevant even if you have no plans of working in a related field or attending a graduate program related to Psychology.
How has the reflective and preparatory process in this course influenced you or your career and/educational decisions?

STEP 1: Explore your interests
Based upon this week’s lessons, pick a part of the brain you would like to learn more about.
Do some background research, finding a minimum of one scholarly journal article from the UMGC Library that provides insight into that part of the brain.
From the article, choose 3 or more interesting facts about the part of the brain you are researching and explain the facts. In some detail, using your own words, prepare to present the facts either in your poster or in the text box of this discussion.
STEP 2: The Power of Images to Inform
Pick an aspect of your research and show it off! [This is your chance to be creative and to express what you are learning in a uniquely informative way – with pictures and images.] What you select to display is up to you. Here are some examples to get your creative thoughts flowing. Select…
details about the part of the brain

Neurotransmitters
Lobes (Parietal, Frontal, and Occipital)
Brain Stem (Reticular Formation, Pons, Medulla)
Cerebellum
Spinal Cord
Thalamus
The Limbic System (Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Amygdala, Hippocampus)
Two Hemispheres
The Cortex (Sensory and Motor Cortex)

the result from an experiment
the importance of some research
favorite insights, graphs, or charts
NOTE: You do not have to summarize all of your research. Your objective is to create an interesting visual (think: infographic or google slides or even a PowerPoint) so that an outside observer could quickly learn more about your chosen topic.
To build your visual component for this assignment you will need to include the following:
1) At least 2 images (pictures, charts, and graphs all count as images) and
2) Your research reflecting the information you found pertaining to the area of the brain you researched. You will need to integrate your research and include in-text citations when referencing your research.
3) Your reference page in APA format. For in-text citations (in the body of your poster) cite the author’s name and publication date i.e., (Thompson, 2018). Your full reference list can be placed either at the bottom of the visual or in the textbox of the discussion.
You should put effort into this assignment, but please do not feel overwhelmed by creating a visual. There are tools available to make your information look inviting and presentable while not requiring skill or knowledge in graphic design. Think of your visual as making a simplified “poster” about either a part of the brain or a study that teaches about that part of the brain. You may design the poster in any medium you desire, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Google Slides, or some other program. Suggestions include:
Canva – a really easy to use and convenient tool because it has a lot of free shapes and designs for you to use. This program does not specialize in infographics, however, so you will want to choose the option to create a “poster” or “presentation.”
Infogram – a fabulous tool if you want to include a chart or graph in your infographic.
Easel.ly – has some great pre-designed Infographic options to work with.
STEP 3: Share and Discuss
When your visual is complete post it here. Following your image provide a short paragraph describing the image, summarizing what your research shows, and explaining why you found it interesting.
***Two samples are provided for your review***
Hippocampus
Pineal Gland Poster

ANNOTATION OF A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH ARTICLE
Submit: Annotation of a Quantitative Research Article
This week, you will submit the annotation of a quantitative research article on a topic of your interest. Quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental are examples of types of research designs used in quantitative research.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.
Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.
Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance.
It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.
