Three Mistakes to Avoid:
- Selecting an article that does not have a multicultural focus
- Selecting an article from a journal not related to human services (i.e., political journal, law journal, economics journal, educational journals).
- Using a source other than a peer-reviewed journal article is prohibited.
- DO NOT use material such as online articles, news articles, magazine articles, articles from organizational web site, article from a college/university web site.
An article from a web site such as psychologytoday.com is an online magazine article and not a peer-reviewed article. Or an article from an online organization is not a peer-reviewed article.
- What to keep in mind as you write the final paper
Research-centered assignment based on 10 research study articles: A reminder, the final paper is a research-centered assignment, not a topical paper that draws from a wide range of sourced.
The final paper content must based on the findings of 10 articles from peer-reviewed journals published within the past 5-years not an article from a university web site, organizational web site articles, self-help web sites, newspaper articles, magazine articles, interviews or any of the wiki sites. Peer-reviewed journals live in libraries
Writing Tone: The final paper is a formal scholarly paper, so it is written in the third person and does not include references to yourself or use of first person pronouns (I, me, my), or reference yourself as the writer or the authors. Also do not include personal commentary or personal reflections.
Focus to avoid: Forgetting the topic and paper is for a course in multicultural counseling. For example: Let’s say you chose the topic of grief counseling and presented a paper that discussed different models of grief counseling and a section related to multicultural counseling then you would fail the assignment.
Right focus: For example: The focus of the paper is on grief counseling as it pertains to various multicultural groups. In your research for the paper you will look for journal articles on grief counseling for a range of different ethnic and cultural groups and discuss what research has show to be true for counseling various ethnic and cultural groups.
