For your final paper assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of applied behavioral science by utilizing and summarizing information you have learned throughout this course.

Prepare: For your final paper, you will select one case study on a topic that was covered throughout this course. Each case study presents a topic and area of applied psychology and will provide you with an opportunity to examine the uses of applied behavioral science. For example, if you select Case Study 1, you will explore the topic of severe depression from the clinical psychology perspective. If you select Case Study 5, you will explore motivation from the industrial/organizational psychology perspective. For each case, you will also indicate why this topic and area of psychology are of interest to you. Download the ABS200 Case Study List Download ABS200 Case Study List to review the case studies and make your choice.

Reflect: Next, reflect on why this topic is intriguing to you, and research the chosen topic to find scholarly resources. Note this paper requires at least six scholarly or peer-reviewed sources.

Write: In a well-developed 10- to 12-page paper, address the following criteria for the case study you selected:

  • Introduction: The paper must begin with a well-written introduction that includes a succinct thesis statement. For assistance with creating a thesis statement, utilize the Thesis Generator Links to an external site.tool on the University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center website. In your introduction paragraph, address the following:
    • Define applied behavioral science (in your own words) and the area of psychology from which the case study is explored.
    • Discuss why you have chosen this case study.
  • Body:In your paper, address the following:
    • Summarize the potential links that are relevant to the selected case study (e.g., genetic, environmental, social, cultural, organizational).

Overview

The content essay assignment provides you with the opportunity to take a “deep dive” into the content of a particular interpretive issue within an Old Testament book. The ability to engage with the historical, literary, and theological elements of interpretation is an essential skill to develop in biblical studies. Developing these skills through research and writing is a time-tested means toward becoming a more competent reader and interpreter of Scripture. The content essay assignment probes challenging issues by answering the interpretive questions that rise from the text of Scripture.

Instructions

You will write two (2) content essays during the course, one on the book of Judges and a second on 1 Samuel. The following parameters should be followed:

  • Length of assignment: At least 1000 words but no more than 1500 words, excluding title page and bibliography.
  • Format of assignment: current Turabian format. The paper must be double spaced. Use headings and page numbers as appropriate. Include title page and bibliography. The student must document Scripture passages with parenthetical citations within body of paper, but all other sources used must be documented with properly formatted footnotes in current Turabian format.
  • Acceptable sources: The Bible (excluding study notes), textbook, and at least 3 additional academic sources published within the past 50 years that directly address the assigned Scripture passage. The student is encouraged to use academic biblical commentaries, academic journal articles, and academic monographs. Avoid devotional and general audience sources. Internet sources require instructor’s prior approval.

Content Essay: Judges Assignment

After reading Judges 1-8 and the corresponding textbook material, in an essay, answer the following questions pertaining to Judges:

  1. What is the recurring cycle that appears in the book of Judges? How does this relate to the theology of the book of Judges?
  2. Is there any prophetic significance to the recurring cycles in Judges and the concluding statement of Judges 21:25, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in their own eyes.”? If so, explain how, and if not, then explain why not.
  3. What is the central message in the book of Judges and what is its relationship to the rest of the Old Testament?

Content Essay: 1 Samuel Assignment

After reading 1 Samuel 8-12 and the corresponding textbook material, in an essay, answer the following questions pertaining to 1 Samuel 8-12:

  1. Does God want Israel to have a king? After a critical analysis of the negative statements (1 Sam 8:1-22; 10:17-19; 12:1-25) and positive statements (1 Sam 9:1-10:16; 11:1-15) concerning kingship, what is your conclusion concerning kingship for Israel?
  2. How do Genesis 17:6, 16; 35:11; and Deuteronomy 17:14-20 relate to the negative and positive statements concerning kingship in 1 Samuel 8-12?
  3. Does the author of 1 Samuel depict kingship in a positive or negative manner? How does this relate to the message of 1 Samuel and its relationship to the rest of the Old Testament?

Engage the Bible, textbook, and at least 3 additional academic sources in the argumentation for your propositions. Each essay must be 1,000 – 1,500 words and follow current Turabian format.

Acknowledge which question is being answered (e.g., “Discussion: Tools for Hermeneutics, Question 1”), and restate the question within your response on the board. Post each thread as a new topic.

1. Using the principles found in chapter 7 of Grasping God’s Word and chapter 9 of Introduction to Biblical Interpretation, outline the basic steps for doing word studies for a biblical passage. Then apply those steps to the passage you chose for your exegetical paper. Offer a list of words and/or phrases that you intend to highlight in your final exegetical paper. Explain the importance and definition of these words with regards to your passage. Please be sure to cite your word study sources.

2. This assignment requires you to interact with chapter 2 of Grasping God’s Word and chapter 1 of Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (particularly the section on challenges to biblical interpretation). Using the information from these chapters (and with special focus on steps 2 and 3 of the Interpretive Journey discussed in Grasping God’s Word), give an overview of how the ancient context of your passage contrasts with a modern 21st century context (Step 2—Measuring the Width of the River to Cross). Then offer an outline the basic steps for finding the key principle(s) in the biblical text (Step 3—Crossing the Principlizing Bridge). Apply those steps to the passage you chose for your exegetical paper and offer a list of principles that you intend to investigate in your exegetical paper.
