For this assignment, students will research each of the organizations below and write a one and a half page summary of its purpose/function/mission and benefits and resources it offers to members and the general public (if public resources are available). NOTE: You may do one big paper or five brief papers. Paper(s)must contain paraphrases of organization website content with proper APA source citations in-text and as part of an attached "Reference(s)" page and NOT content copied directly from the sites (the latter constitutes plagiarism and will void the assignment points and result in a course grade of "F" if more than one instance is detected). This paper is due by the end of Week 3 of the course. It must be in compliance with university academic standards and formatting rules of the American Psychological Association (APA). Thus you will need a properly formatted title page, an Abstract and a References List at the end of the paper.If you do 5 short papers that means 5 title pages, 5 abstracts and 5 reference lists.
