Read Chapter 11 (Stress and Health) in your textbook and write a short reflection paper answering the following questions:
Question 1: What stressors/stressful situations (e.g. major life events, daily hassles, job stress, family stress) did you have to deal with over the past year? Please mention at least 5 different sources of stress and explain in detail why you perceived these situations as stressful.
Question 2: How did the stressors mentioned above affect your personal life, physical health, and/or emotional well-being? Try to be as specific as possible when answering this question.
Question 3: What coping mechanisms did you use to deal with the stressors mentioned above and how would you rate their effectiveness? Please refer to the Coping With Stress section of the textbook and give clear examples of the coping mechanisms you have used in the past.
Question 4: Please take a moment to reflect on how it was like to be enrolled in this course. Then answer the following questions: How stressful was the experience of taking this course for you? What aspects of the course (e.g. discussion board entries, exams, assignments) were most stressful for you and why? What strategies (if any) did you use to deal with course related stress?
Question 5: In hindsight, what advice would you give other students who are thinking about enrolling in this course in regard to keeping their stress level low?
The expected length for this paper is 4-5 pages assuming the paper is correctly formatted.  Please note that the title page and reference pages do not count toward the required number of pages.  The paper should have five clearly labeled sections: Question 1, Question 2, Question 3, Question 4, and Question 5.   Each section should be of similar depth and detail.  To properly complete this assignment, you will need to use your class textbook. Be sure to state your points clearly and properly use terms and concepts from the textbook.  Of course when relying on information from the textbook or any other source, you must give proper credit to your sources by using APA style in-text citations and references.
Don’t forget to include the plagiarism paragraph at the end of your paper.  The paragraph can be found at the end of the instructions for formatting your papers.

Important Information Regarding Writing Assignments

Important – read the following, then follow the instructions at the bottom of the section.
Plagiarism, be it intentional or unintentional, is a recurring problem with writing assignments, all the more so in the cut-and-paste computer age. I check for plagiarism. If I catch plagiarism on any assignment I will file an academic dishonesty charge and recommend a zero on that assignment.
It is important that you understand what constitutes plagiarism so that you can avoid it. In its most common form, plagiarism includes:
•    Taking another person’s idea, opinion or data and representing it as your own product.
•    Copying someone else’s work.
•    Quoting a source without clearly identifying it as a quote and clearly giving credit to your source with an APA style in-text citation and reference.
•    Paraphrasing the ideas of another without giving credit to the source with APA style in-text citation and reference.  This includes taking a chunk of text and changing only a few words here or there and representing it as your own.
