  • Entries should be NOT TWO PAGES BUT 450-550 WORDS Do NOT include fillers like name, date, instructor, title, etc)
  1. Given the unprecedented situation the entire world is facing today, I would like students to choose ANY concept that we’ve covered this semester (it does not have to come from Unit 3), and explain how it relates to the circumstances we face now. Please write the concept in capital letters the first time it appears, and do NOT provide a definition in your paper.
  2. The goal of the journal is to provide you with the opportunity to elaborate on and apply ideas presented in the reading. This type of critical thinking should lead to your success in the course. Give a real-life example of something that you read about. In the process, you might also share your reactions to the reading material, critically evaluate an issue, or relate a personal concern or experience to course content. Journals will be graded on thoughtfulness and thoroughness, but not on the specific views you express. . Papers should only include content, not your name, date, teacher etc. Papers that include that information as a means of taking up space on the two pages will be assigned an automatic zero. The quality of your writing DOES COUNT. Please use correct grammar and punctuation, and a clear, coherent writing style. You will lose points for failing to proofread (and correct!) your work. A paper with errors cannot earn more than 5 points.
  3. Higher quality entries typically include critical thinking, which could incorporate any combination of the following elements:
  • Identifying values, biases, and assumptions;
  • Analyzing arguments and counterarguments;
  • Analyzing the kinds and quality of evidence;
  • Critical thinking about research, critical writing and reading;
  • Drawing conclusions.

GRADING:

Your paper should contain four elements:

  1. Key concept, written in CAPITAL LETTERS only the first time it is mentioned
  2. Example of key concept as it relates to the pandemic
  3. Explanation of what makes the example a good illustration of the key concept
  4. Further analysis, which is likely to be integrated with the explanation in higher quality papers, but can stand-alone as well. In Social Psychology, the focus is on applying the example to life experiences.

Application Journal Grading Rubric:

25 points = Excellent in every way: complete, organized, and demonstrates insight/critical thinking; one specific key term is capitalized once; example illustrates the selected term; no errors in grammar, spelling, etc.

20 points = adequate, but lacks depth; concept is applied correctly; no more than one or two minor grammatical or spelling errors

15 points = complete and correct, but lacking organization, clarity, and/or focus; key term not underlined or too many underlined; some errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, or any combination of these; ideas not fully developed, superficial (perhaps because the example is too obvious, etc.)

10 points = incomplete or incorrect application of selected concept, or many errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, or any combination of these

5 points = term comes from a chapter other than the one assigned, or is otherwise far off topic

0 points = nothing submitted

That is the instructions given by the professor

( We can choose any word from our chapters I chose Mass Hysteria because I thought it would be a good fit for COVID – 19. If you think otherwise let me know and I will send a list of other words that you could use).
