The passage discusses the challenges, goals, and desired outcomes of Counterinsurgency efforts a military force might experience.

Assuming you agree with the author’s analysis of what effective Counterinsurgency measures require, how do you feel the United State of America has fared in dealing with various insurgencies?

In your view, what should the US have done differently (or not) in dealing with Vietnam?

About this Assignment

So far in this course, you have learned that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can determine the outcome of completing a task. Thinking about the distinction between the two, you have also learned that each of these may be associated with life goals and outcomes, in general.

This literature review assignment will require you to find, analyze, and cite credible external research, which you will use again in your Psychology of Motivation Assignment at the end of the course. Success on this assignment will help to prepare you for success on the final assignment for this course.

Project Prompt

For this assignment, you will write a 750-1000-word literature review essay that analyzes and synthesizes the information about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how these may relate to life goals.

The information must come from credible sources that you will find online. Peer-reviewed articles are preferred. For this assignment, you will be expected to pick high-quality, credible sources and use your critical thinking skills in order to not only summarize, but also to apply the information in these sources to real-life contexts. As part of your literature review you will need to critique and analyze the sources you use and then finalize by condensing the information contained in them.

Introduction

Within the introduction, you will need to define extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and how they relate to real-life examples. That is, what are the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on the pursuit of goals, for example?

Body Paragraphs

The body of your essay must focus on a critical review and summary of each of your sources. Here you will need to provide specific details related to how the study was conducted, such as the research methodology, the setting of the study, and who participated. Then, provide a longer summary of the results and main outcomes of each study.

Analysis & Conclusion

While details about each study should be included, in the last section of your literature review essay you also will need to condense the existing knowledge from your sources in order to provide a general view of the information you have obtained from those sources. Based on the information on your sources and course material, write about the relation between both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and life goals, in general. That is, what is the effect of being guided by intrinsic motivations in relation toward life goals? What is the effect of being guided by extrinsic motivations in relation toward life goals?

Provide a synthesis of the subject area that these studies are covering, as well as synthesize the implications from those findings and any further questions.

Citations

You must include a Works Cited section in APA style, as well as in-text citation throughout your literature review essay. This reference section does not count toward the 750-1000 word requirement.

Formatting & Sources

Please write your paper in the APA format. As part of your research, you may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least three credible, outside sources and cite them using APA format as well. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.

Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You may use also use databases like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from scholarly journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.) These scholarly (i.e., journal articles) sources should represent your primary sources of evidence-based information in order to write your essay.

A. APA Policy

• First and foremost, if you want to get a good grade in this assignment, you need to learn how to cite lecture materials and format a reference in a bibliography accurately in APA Style. APA (American Psychological Association) Style is widely used in the social sciences, business, and some of the life sciences. APA Style uses brief in-text citations in the text that refer to an alphabetical list of references appearing at the end of the work. Start with this guide from the UW Library:
• To write a good course paper, paraphrase academic materials legitimately instead of extensively copying and pasting from the readings and lecture/reading review slides. All paraphrased content must be cited with the relevant page number. See an example of a legitimate paraphrase here (
• You should cite lecture contents using in-text citation (here are several ways to cite a source in-text:
• Do not risk plagiarizing. Everything that is not an original thought from you must be cited, both in text and in bibliography placed at the end of each response.
• Use apa for all in-text citations (e.g., Winner, 1980, p. 122). This is not a W course. There is no option to revise and resubmit or to get written feedback on early drafts. If you have any queries about the paper, visit me or your TA during our office hours.

Prompt 3. In Week 2, we examined how communication scholars study media and communication in different ways, depending on how they understand reality, knowledge, and evidence. The module also includes a set of interviews in which UW Communication scholars discuss their own research interests, questions, and practices.

Choose one interview from this unit and analyze how the scholar approaches the study of communication and the methodological concerns that shape their work.

In your response, you should:

1. Explain how the scholar understands what counts as a meaningful communication problem. Drawing on the lecture, discuss what kinds of questions this approach tends to prioritize and what kinds of issues it treats as more or less important.
2. Describe how the scholar produces knowledge about communication. Based on the interview, explain what kinds of evidence the scholar relies on and how they talk about studying communication phenomena. Identify one specific research example or form of evidence from the interview that you found especially interesting, and explain why.
3. Explain why this approach differs from at least one other way of studying communication discussed in lecture. Your explanation should be based on comparison and reasoning grounded in the lecture, rather than simply naming or listing approaches.

Your response will be evaluated based on how accurately and thoughtfully you engage with the lecture material and how carefully you use details from the interview to support your analysis.

Grading Rubric:

• A. Exceptional (90100 points)
• The response offers a clear and accurate analysis of how the selected scholar approaches the study of communication. It explains what the scholar treats as a meaningful communication problem and how knowledge is produced, drawing directly from both the lecture and the interview.

Prompt 3. In Week 2, we examined how communication scholars study media and communication in different ways, depending on how they understand reality, knowledge, and evidence. The module also includes a set of interviews in which UW Communication scholars discuss their own research interests, questions, and practices.

Choose one interview from this unit and analyze how the scholar approaches the study of communication and the methodological concerns that shape their work.

In your response, you should:

1. Explain how the scholar understands what counts as a meaningful communication problem. Drawing on the lecture, discuss what kinds of questions this approach tends to prioritize and what kinds of issues it treats as more or less important.
2. Describe how the scholar produces knowledge about communication. Based on the interview, explain what kinds of evidence the scholar relies on and how they talk about studying communication phenomena. Identify one specific research example or form of evidence from the interview that you found especially interesting, and explain why.
3. Explain why this approach differs from at least one other way of studying communication discussed in lecture. Your explanation should be based on comparison and reasoning grounded in the lecture, rather than simply naming or listing approaches.

Your response will be evaluated based on how accurately and thoughtfully you engage with the lecture material and how carefully you use details from the interview to support your analysis.
