APA format should be used for all in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">intext citations and the references page. You will write an application essay that in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">includes library research as well as self-exploration. The essay should contain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in five sections as well as an in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">introduction and a conclusion (each should be 1/4 of a page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length). The in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">introduction should gain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the readers attention, address the importance of the topic, and in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">include a preview of what your paper will cover (at least 1/4 page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length). The first section, based on research from a min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum of five scholarly sources addresses the importance of listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing and the role it plays within" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a particular profession (your current or desired profession) as well as the kin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ind of listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing train" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing conducted in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the profession. This section is based solely on research, not your personal perception. All in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information should be appropriately documented with in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in-text citations and a references page (bibliography) should be in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">included. This section of your submission should be at least 2 pages in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum). In section two, you will outlin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ine (and explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in) a personalized and sophisticated LIST of ten criteria for effective listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing behavior. Each item on your list should be numbered and explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in great detail. This section of your submission should be at least 1 page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum). In the third section, you will in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">incorporate a descriptive analysis of your listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing strengths and weaknesses accordin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to the criteria you outlin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in section two. Each criterion should be addressed in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">individually and specifically. This section should be at least 2-3 pages in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum). In the fourth section, you will provide a summary of your listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing-test results. This summary should contain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a descriptive analysis and in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interpretation of each set of results as well as a discussion of your listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing strengths and weakness and how your skills have evolved (accordin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing to your test results). You should reference your actual overall test scores as well as scores on in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">individual sections. You may use tables to display your data, but I want to see descriptive paragraphs as well. You may use the analyses that you have written throughout the semester to assist you in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in writin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing this portion of your paper. This section of your submission should be at least 1 page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum). Many students greatly exceed the one-page requirement, but I am simply lookin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing for a summary. Fin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inally, the fifth portion of the essay should contain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a specific and detailed plan to address your current listenin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing weaknesses (identified in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in section three AND in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in section four) and how you plan to contin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inue to improve them. This section of your submission should be 1 page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (min" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inimum). A conclusion should follow that briefly, recaps what you've shared and brin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ings closure to your submission (at least 1/4 page in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length).

Your submission must in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in-text citations as well as a references page. This paper should be eight to twelve pages in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in length (not in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the references page).
