Communication Disorders- Stuttering
The written assignment is worth 20% of course grade. It is to be 3 to 5 pages, double-spaced typed. You must use 12 font size only. Students are to choose any disorder pertaining to a specific infancy/childhood/ adolescent psychological disorder included in the DSM and provide a full description that includes a discussion on how it presents itself in the individual, all possible symptoms associated with this disorder and an open ended discussion on the disorder. Your open ended discussion can be either a discussion of treatments, or it can be a discussion on a case study or it can be a discussion of your own opinion and thoughts on the disorder. You can get information from your textbook, from the DSM V manual, from APA.ORG or from the college library website page. Search through psychological journals and get your information that way. There will be a library lesson scheduled to assist students in this process.
If your assignments are handed in late, they will be penalized one third of a letter grade for each day they are late. That means if you earned an A, but the assignment was 1 day late, you get an A-. If it’s 2 days late, it’s a B+, etc. Assignments handed in after 7 days will not be accepted. No student shall be permitted to email his/her paper to me on or after the due date in lieu of handing it in during the class meeting it is due. This means that if I don’t receive your assignment in hard copy form during the class meeting the date it is due, it will be considered a late submission.
