Week 4 Major Assignment

This assignment was designated as a paper between 1.050 - 1,400 words in APA formatting (which is a total nightmare when switching from MLA!). We were instructed to envision ourselves as a nursing home staff discussing the needs and changes that later adults face with the individuals family. Key points needed to include an explanation of the changes in role and social position for later adults, living accommodations, adjustment and transition from work to retirement, changes in marriage, family, and peer relationships, and identify social policies that affect older adults. 

I put more effort into this assignment than in any previous work I have done. My goal was to create a scholar level paper that was both informative and enjoyable to read. According to my instructor, Maria Perrotta, I accomplished those goals. I  received 100% on this assignment and I can't stress how much of an accomplishment that is for her class. I'm not only proud of my grade, but I'm very (if not more so) proud of this assignment. I believe that not only did it turn out well, but also that it is my best work yet. 

INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK: "Chandreyee, you provided a scholarly explanation of the following: the changes in role and social position during the later adulthood stage, a comparison of living accommodations, an illustration of the adjustment and transition from work to retirement, and the changes in marriage, family, and peer relationships. Overall, the paper was in proper APA format (please refer to my comments included in the attached graded assignment). I encourage you to continue to use the information and resources offered by the UPOX Library as well as CWE in regard to proper APA format standards. The assignment did meet the word requirement (1,050 to 1,400 words). You earned a 10/10 points as this paper was submitted on time. This was a very well-written and organized paper. It was very professional in nature. I am very proud of your accomplishments and determination to achieve an academic level in your writing! f you have any questions, let me know."
