  • Answer the following question by writing a 1–2 page response.
    • Why eyewitness testimony is not reliable?

  • Use at least 2 quality resources in writing your essay (excluding our textbook). A quality resource has many features but at a minimum it has in-text citations and a reference list. If a source does not cite its own sources and has no reference list, usually it is not a very reliable source.

  • Do not use Wikipedia
  • Using a peer-reviewed academic journal article is not mandatory, but you will receive bonus points if you use such articles as your sources.
  • Use Font 12 Times New Roman, double spaced.
  • A good length for the essay is about a page and half, excluding the reference list. Do not write more than 2 pages or less than 1 page.
  • Title page is not required.
  • Do not copy/paste or quote anything. Paraphrase instead.
  • Provide in-text citations and a reference list for all the sources that you use.
  • Follow APA 7 style in your in-citations and reference list.
