Group Assignments & HIP Responses
Students will be completing two (2) group assignments with two (2) responses to the group
assignments (HIPs) throughout the semester for Unit 1 and Unit 3. The two group
assignments will be completed IN CLASS on the date listed on the course schedule. The two
HIP responses to the group assignment will be completed by the student on their own and
due the next class (see Course Schedule). The information for these assignments is
provided at the end of this syllabus. All HIP responses must be written in APA style -
headers, title page, in-text citations, reference page (will be reviewed in class), double-
spaced, 1” margins, and Times New Roman font. The HIP responses should also be a full 1
to 2 pages long (not including the group assignment, title page, or reference page). The
source used to complete this assignment should be the class textbook. The group
assignment and HIP response will be graded as one grade. Be sure to attach the group
assignment at the end of the HIP response. Assignments must be printed, stapled, and
handed in at the beginning of the class it is due (see Course Schedule for due dates).
Group assignments + HIP responses are worth 20% of the student's final grade (10% each).
Reflection Papers
Students will complete two (2) reflection papers for Units 2 & 4 (1 for each). Each student
will be able to choose from the options at the end of this syllabus for each unit. All papers
must be written in APA style - headers, title page, in-text citations, reference page (will be
reviewed in class), double-spaced, 1" margins, and Times New Roman font. Each paper
must be 3 to 4 pages long (not including the title page and reference page). The sources
used to complete these papers are the class textbook as well as AT LEAST 1 outside
CREDIBLE source. Papers must be printed, stapled, and handed in at the beginning of the

For ONE of the correlations:
1. Transform into an experimental study and identify the independent
variable (IV) as well as the dependent variable (DV). Then, describe
the experimental and control groups. Discuss any confounding
variables that may occur.
2. Explain whether you think this study would be better as a correlation
or experiment (use information from your textbook to support your
answer).
3. Discuss how the results of this study may differ depending on if it is a
correlation or experiment (use information from your textbook to
support your answer).
For ONE of the experiments:
1. Transform into a correlational study and discuss what the variables
are and whether it is a positive or negative correlation.
2. Explain whether you think this study would be better as a correlation
or experiment (use information from your textbook to support your
answer).
3. Discuss how the results of this study may differ depending on if it is a
correlation or experiment (use information from your textbook to
