Final Role Essay
Details about turning it in.
Due HARD COPY. Must be dropped off and put in my mailbox in Baker 334 by noon on Friday May 4th. Do not shove under my office door or put anywhere else. You of course may turn it in early if you wish BUT no earlier than Thursday May 3 @ 5pm. This is because the trial ends that morning, and you will want to include some remarks in your paper on the final outcome and discussion. You may want to have most of your paper written by then though, and then you can add to it that afternoon or evening. To be uber-clear, DO NOT turn in your assignment as a comment to this post--these are only the directions.
The paper itself:
In this case, it is not plagiarism to use work from your previous 3 role essays :) You may need to ultimately rework, rewrite, or reorganize that information, but definitely feel free to copy and paste those posts into a document to get you started.
You have great latitude in what you want your paper to be, but if you'd like a bit more structure, some content to consider including is:
Educational requirements for your role
Aptitude requirements (like personality, physical skill, etc)
Day-in-the-life information
Job description
Salary and workplace information
"Profile" information (ie., you might include details about a specific person who is that role)
How this role/occupation interacts with the legal system
etc, etc, as it relates to the role in the real world.
Also include:
Information on your experience in preparing and conducting your role (most of your paper will probably be the above information; but you'll probably still have a lot to say about your experience)
How your role relates to psychology
Additional information:
You may include material in appendices if it is hard/weird to include in the text of your paper. This could include 'products' of your role like your jury notes if you are a juror, your sketch you made if you are the sketch artist, your profile if you are the profiler, your warrants, police reports, etc, etc, if you are in law enforcement, and on and on. If it's relevant to your role and you want to include it, do so.
Your assignment is worth 100 points. It IS comprehensive to your knowledge gained about your role, your experience with your role, your work associated with that role, and how it all relates to psychology.
