Nature vs. Nurture (e.g., child obesity) Explore both biological (nature) and environmental (nurture) causes.

Step-by-Step Instructions Step 1: Topic Selection & Source Submission (Due after Module 2 – 10 pts) Choose one final paper option (see below). Submit a short paragraph (5–8 sentences) explaining why you chose your topic. Submit a list of at least 4 scholarly/peer-reviewed sources. Submit any AI chat logs used in your brainstorming process (redacted). Include this AI Use Declaration: “This assignment was completed with assistance from [name AI tool]. AI was used for [e.g., brainstorming, outlining]. All AI-generated content has been reviewed, verified, and integrated with my own thinking.” Step 2: Paper Outline + AI Use Reflection Draft (Due after Module 4 – 15 pts) Submit a detailed outline of your paper (intro, body sections, conclusion). Include key points and application ideas. Submit a draft of your AI Reflection (150–200 words). Submit any new AI chat logs used during this phase. Step 3: Rough Draft + Updated AI Reflection (Due after Module 6 – 25 pts) Submit a rough draft (3+ pages) using APA format. Use and cite at least 4–6 scholarly sources. Include a revised AI Reflection (300+ words) answering: How did AI help (or not help) in the writing process? What parts of your thinking could not be replaced by AI? What did you learn about your topic? How did you verify accuracy of AI content? Step 4: Final Paper + Final AI Reflection (Due after Module 8 – 100 pts) Submit a polished 3–5 page paper including: Introduction: Background and thesis. Body: Research and discussion (see topic options). Application: Real-life implications or solutions. Conclusion: Wrap-up, personal reflection, or call to action. Include: APA citations and reference list. Final AI Use Declaration and AI Reflection (300+ words). All AI chat logs used (if applicable). Final Paper Topic : Nature vs. Nurture (e.g., child obesity) Explore both biological (nature) and environmental (nurture) causes. Conclude with your stance on the stronger influence or interplay between the two. Developmental science focuses on the various contributions to development, and whether they lean toward the genetic side of things (nature) or environmental (nurture). Choose child obesity. For this paper, review the module material on your specific topic. Then, write a paper describing in detail the “nature” (primarily genetic, inherited) contributions to this condition as well as the “nurture” contributions. You will need to conduct Internet research and cite the sources to obtain additional information on your topic. For example, explaining the inherited reasons for a child to be obese will require that you visit, read, summarize, and cite medical sites on the Internet. It is crucial that you rephrase material in your own words and cite it or put phrases from the sources in quotation marks and cite them. No more than a few sentences should be directly quoted in order for you to receive credit for writing this paper (in other words, no credit is given for a paper that is a string of other people’s quotes). As a general rule of thumb, at least 1.5 pages should focus on "nature" contributions to the issue at hand and at least 1.5 pages should focus on "nurture" contributions. Conclude the paper by indicating which side (nature or nurture) gives the strongest contribution to this condition or whether they are both needed. For example, for child obesity, is genetics alone a sufficient cause for a child to be obese, or are poor eating habits necessary along with a genetic predisposition? Make sure to thoroughly read all of the information below. Overview: You are required to write a 3-5 page term paper on one of the topics listed below. Your paper must use at least four (4) peer-reviewed sources to support your arguments. This guide will help you understand what peer-reviewed sources are and how to effectively incorporate them into your paper. What are Peer-Reviewed Sources? Peer-reviewed sources are scholarly articles, papers, and research studies that have been evaluated and critiqued by experts in the same field before being published. This process ensures the reliability, validity, and academic integrity of the research. Commonly, these sources are found in academic journals. Characteristics of Peer-Reviewed Sources: Authorship: Written by experts and researchers in the field. Abstract: A summary of the research, methodology, and findings. References: Comprehensive list of sources cited. Methodology: Detailed description of the research methods used. Results and Discussion: Presentation and interpretation of research findings. Finding Peer-Reviewed Sources: Academic Databases: Use databases like PubMed and JSTOR. PubMed: https://pubmed(dot)ncbi(dot)nlm(dot)nih(dot)gov/ Links to an external site. JSTOR: https://about(dot)jstor(dot)org/oa-and-free/ Links to an external site. Google Scholar: Filter results to show peer-reviewed papers. Writing Your Paper: Your paper should include the following sections: Title Page: - Title of your paper - Your name - Course name and number - Instructor’s name - Date Introduction: - Introduce your topic and provide background information. - State the purpose of your paper and your thesis statement. Body of the Paper: - Summarize and synthesize existing research on your topic in your own words. - Highlight key findings from peer-reviewed sources in your own words. - Identify gaps in the current research in your own words. Conclusion: - Summarize the main points of your paper. - Restate the importance of your findings. - Offer a final thought or call to action. References: - List all the sources you cited in your paper in APA format. Formatting: - Font: Times New Roman, 12-point. - Margins: 1-inch on all sides. - Spacing: Double-spaced. - Page numbers: Page numbers should appear in the top right corner - Headings: Separate the sections of the paper by Level 2 headings (see the link below) - Citations: Use APA format for in-text citations and the reference list. You can use a site like Purdue’s Online Writing Lab for more information about using APA format for your citations and the structure of the paper: https://owl(dot)purdue(dot)edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/index.html Links to an external site. Tips for Success: - Start Early: Give yourself plenty of time to research, write, and revise. - Organize: Use an outline to structure your paper logically. - Proofread: Check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. - Seek Feedback: Have someone else review your paper before submission. Please note that editing apps and software programs like Grammarly are frequently flagged as producing AI generated content. It is better to have another human review your paper if at all possible. By following these guidelines, you will produce a well-organized and thoroughly researched term paper that effectively utilizes peer-reviewed sources. Good luck!
