This manual is for PSYC FPX 1540 Assessment 2, start to submission. The Killing Us Softly Worksheet asks you to watch the documentary on how advertising portrays women and complete a worksheet: connect its examples to psychological concepts such as objectification, gender stereotypes and social comparison, identify thinking errors, reflect on your own media experience, and consider bias. The grade turns on linking the film's examples to concepts and evidence. Reacting to the film scores lower than analyzing what the examples show. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as PSYC-FPX1540, and some courserooms print PSYC1540; both point to this same Assessment 2. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Killing Us Softly Worksheet".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How PSYC FPX 1540 Assessment 2 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a worksheet |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The worksheet is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations. |
| Proficient | The worksheet is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general. |
| Basic | The worksheet describes concepts with little application. |
| Non-performance | A required part of the worksheet is missing. |
Watch the assigned film and complete every part of the worksheet.

Annotated sample excerpt
An original model excerpt from our team, written to show the register that reaches the top of the guide. Learn the moves, then write your own version.
The film's examples of advertisements that show only parts of women's bodies illustrate objectification, presenting people as objects to be looked at rather than as individuals.1 Research on objectification links repeated exposure to such images with self-objectification, in which viewers monitor their own appearance more, which can increase body dissatisfaction.2 Social comparison theory adds that comparing ourselves with digitally altered images sets a standard no one can meet.3
