Term Paper Guidelines
I. You are required to write a term paper based on library research of your chosen topic.
A. The topic shall be related to issues that we explore and discuss in the area of abnormal psychology/mental health disorders. (You may write about specific disorders, assessment of abnormal behavior, theories of abnormal behavior, treatment modalities for various abnormal behaviors, etc.).
B. The term paper shall be at least 15 typewritten pages (double-spaced) in length.
C. The term paper shall be written in strict APA Publication Manual writing style. MLS, ALA, SOS, CYA, or any other style will not be accepted.
D. The term paper is a formal scholarly paper and shall be written in that manner.
1. Although writing term papers in the first person voice is now acceptable from the APA’s perspective, when doing so the paper will still be written in a formal style—not the style you would use to write a letter to your long lost lover.
E. The term paper shall be based on library research of at least five (6) professional resources/references.
1. These resources should be of peer-reviewed professional journal articles or professional books by experts in the field, and shall be related to your particular chosen topic.
2. Internet resources may be utilized ONLY if you obtained an electronic version of an actual (full-linked text) academic journal article online. That is, the electronic version is an exact copy of the journal article as it appeared in the written version of the journal.
a. In other words, a Dr. Phil-type on-line article from a Google or other similar search that presents a summary of a topic area by some Dr. Phil-type or from Brittany Spears, or from the CIS Miami web-site that cannot be authenticated for its reliability or validity or non-plagiarism is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
b. Information from Wikipedia is not acceptable.
3. In essence, your resources/references should be professional journals and books written by experts in abnormal behavior, mental health disorders, mental illness, etc.
F. The term paper will have the following format with labeled sections.
1. INTRODUCTION—this section of your paper introduces the topic and presents a brief literature review relevant to your stating the thesis and objectives of your paper. Centered, at the beginning of this introductory section you will write the title of your paper.
a. That is, what do you plan to do?
2. FINDINGS—this section is where you will do what you said you would do (in the Introduction) in the manner that you stated you would do it (Methodology).
a. This section requires you to summarize the work in your specific topic area, critically evaluate it, and compare and contrast it to approaches offered by other theorists, critics, revisionists, etc.
b. This is the major portion of your paper.
3. CONCLUSION and DISCUSSION—briefly summarize what you did. Then present your own ideas, opinions, beliefs, etc., about the topic area you reviewed, and finally discuss whether you accomplished what you set out to do. What are the implications, contributions, and limitations of the resources you reviewed. Do you have suggestions for future research and application?
a. This section will require careful critical and creative thinking. This should be a significant portion of your paper; because this section indicates to me whether or not you have a good understanding and perspective of the theory that you have reviewed.
b. Writing only one or two paragraphs for this section is not adequate or sufficient, and will affect your grade significantly.
G. Remember, this is not a book review. You are not going to simply summarize a book or journal article. INSTEAD YOU WILL:
1. Creatively and critically think about what you read and critically evaluate it.
a. You do this by presenting your own ideas, opinions, etc., utilizing other resources/references to back up your points.
b. DO NOT HESITATE to give your own opinions in this term paper. There is no right or wrong answer. I don’t care if you state that divorce is no big deal and does not cause harm to anyone, as long as you can back up your contentions. I value your opinions as much as I value the opinion of the authors of your textbooks.
