Start your assignment by briefly summarizing these videos and relating them back to what you learned in your chapters about sensation and perception. Use your research/knowledge about sensation & perception and specifically about our senses of hearing and seeing to explain the mysteries. Are there wrong and right sides in both these mysteries? Do we see or hear totally different things? If so – WHY? Remember to include evidence and sources to back up your argument or stance. You are encouraged to use additional sources in addition to your textbook and the videos. Also remember to use APA formatting (see detailed instructions below).
Instructions & Grading Rubric
Responses for all Critical Thinking Assignments should be approximately 500-600 words. This word count is for the body of your paper only and does not include any abstract and/or reference list. You can use Microsoft Word to help you do a word count. You are welcome to go over the word count requirement if needed. Just don’t go under the word count requirement. Remember that the quality of your paper is the most important part. There is no need to write a lengthy paper that does not address the topic(s), does not have evidence or substantial details that relate to the contents of your weekly readings.
At minimum, you must use what you have learned this week in your paper. This includes your textbook readings and any articles/videos from this week’s module. These should be included in your citiations and reference list.
Be sure to incorporate additional scholarly content in your paper. Scholarly content includes scientific articles that you find that are related to the subject matter. The HCC online library is a very useful resource (link provided on your Canvas Course on left navigation menu). Doing research and including exciting new studies/sources can only help your grade!
You must use APA formatting and properly attribute credit to your sources using APA format. . I am mostly looking for your use of in-text citations throughout your paper, use of scholarly content and contents from your weekly readings, a reference list and proper formatting. These are the most important parts. However, including a title page, abstract, page numbering, etc….can only help to improve your grade!!
Check and double check your drafts for spelling and grammatical errors before you submit. If I cannot read your paper, it is hard to give you a good grade.
See Critical Thinking Assignment Rubric attached to understand how you will be graded for all Critical Thinking Assignments.
