PSY 201 PAPERS

The semester paper is due for Psy 201 on March 28 and 201H on March 29. Keep in mind the following points:

  • The paper is worth 25% of your grade
  • The paper must focus on the biological aspects of the topic. It is helpful to think of your topic in terms of anatomy, chemistry, or genetics. If you are covering a disorder, make sure you focus on what is going on in the brain, not a general description of the disorder
  • The assignment requires you use two sources outside of the class material, one of which must be a peer-reviewed article. An excellent source of information for a paper such as this is a Review Article which counts as a peer-reviewed source
  • You must submit a copy of the peer-reviewed source with the paper
  • All papers must be completed in APA format. At a minimum, make sue you have a cover page, abstract, in text citations, and a reference page.
  • A copy of your first page should have been submitted and reviewed to insure you are on the right track. Submit this page with your paper as well.
  • Review the syllabus before you submit the paper to insure you have met all requirements of the assignment
  • The library and writing center are excellent resources if you need assistance
  • Good luck and let me know if you have any questions
