Instructions
Your instructions are the same for each paper, but each submission will be from a different chapter/topic. Each Chapter Review Paper Assignment must be between 5 double-spaced pages (not including the title page, abstract, and reference pages). Each paper must be created in a Microsoft Word document. You are highly encouraged to use the APA 7th Edition Word Template that is linked under the Resources header on each Chapter Review Paper Assignment page. Use the following guidelines to write each assignment.
1. Provide a title page in the current APA format including only your name, the Chapter (#) and Title, and the institutional affiliation. The paper should have the running head in the appropriate place and a page number on every page.
2. You are not required to write an abstract for your papers in this course.
3. Divide your paper into three sections with the following major headings: Summary, Interaction, and Application (review the current APA Manual for guidance on levels of headings if needed). The chapter review papers do not require an abstract. For more information on how the title page should look according to Liberty University Standards, please reference the APA Template that was given to you in Module 1.
4. Develop a Summary of the main concepts from the assigned week Chapters in a minimum of least two pages, no more than four. The summary should be appropriately concise, clear, and adequately complete. The summary is not a commentary or listing of the main points but rather a discussion of the core ideas presented in the chapter. Use the objectives of the chapter to guide the discussion presented in your summary. Cite the chapter in-text (Warden & Simmons, 2024) at least once per paragraph, and include page numbers for direct quotations (Warden & Simmons, 2024, p. 123). Each page of the Summary should have no more than three direct quotations. Avoid lengthy or block quotes in the summary.
5. In your own words, describe your Interaction with the chapter in a minimum of two pages, no more than four. Appropriate comments for this part of the Chapter Review Paper Assignment should include:
a. Your initial response to the chapter (positive, negative, or neutral).
b. Three insightful observations you gained from reading the chapter.
c. Your subjective comments about the main points of the chapter. Support your comments by scholarly sources (less than 10 years old). The scholarly sources may include peer-reviewed articles you may have read in previous courses, textbooks for other Liberty University courses, the ACA Code of Ethics (2014) or the AACC Code of Ethics (2014), and relevant Scriptural insight. Please include proper citations and references at the end of the paper.
d. You are required to include citations of at least three academic sources on top of the chapter that you are writing about in the Interaction section. An academic source includes chapters from textbooks like King & Ford. (Remember to properly cite the chapter of a book in APA 7th Edition formatting), the ACA Code of Ethics, books from other courses you have taken so far in your degree program, journal articles, etc. Citation of bible verses is very much encouraged as they relate to the topic of the chapter.
6. In your final section (in at least 1 page, no more than 2), write how you would apply (Application) the information you have learned from the chapter to your life and profession. Explain how the chapter objectives and major ideas of the chapter will impact you as a professional counselor in the future. You are also highly encouraged to share how reading this chapter has helped you grow in your walk with the Lord.
7. Please include a Reference page and properly cite the King and Ford (2024) book, along with all other sources of information you cite in each of your Chapter Review Paper Assignments. Ensure that each of the in-text citations you use in the body of this paper is written in the reference list. For example, if you cite two different chapters in the paper, you will have two different citations in your paper (remembering to cite the authors of the chapter(s), not the editors King & Ford). In the references page of your paper, you will list the references in the following way (See example below)
Knapp, K. & Hull, C. (2024). Christian integration and the CACREP alliance. In J. A. King & K. M. Ford (Eds.), Christian integration in counselor education. Kendall Hunt Publishers. ISBN 979-8-3851-2564-7
