Rubric for Grading
You will be graded on how well you apply theories and concepts from the text to the person you observed or interviewed. Do not submit a paper that only describes the person. That is not what this assignment is about.
Points will be deducted for grammatical and spelling errors. These grades assume you have submitted a proofread paper with few or no grammatical or spelling errors.

There is an attempt to provide a developmental explanation by making reference to the appropriate psychological theories/concepts. There is a discussion of the significant of 5+ theories/concepts and how it relates to the behaviors observed or what the person said.
