IMPORTANT:  Prior to submitting your paper you are required to submit it to grammarly.edu.  Using the feedback from Grammarly, edit and revise your paper.  You will submit two documents this week: your marked-up Grammarly document and your final, revised draft.
Your paper will be scored on two levels:  quality of content (rubric) and correctness of APA formatting (checklist). Each week, different aspects of APA formatting will be the center of focus, and each week’s focus is cumulative.  That means the focus of week 1 is an expected element of weeks 2-7.
