Objectives of this project include:
students gain more knowledge about a specific psychologist from the list below.
students further explore perspectives integrally linked with eminent
psychologists (For example, Piaget is linked with the cognitive
perspective and Freud is linked with the psychodynamic perspective.)
students demonstrate ability to find scholarly, peer-reviewed
sources and to follow instructor’s required formatting guidelines.
For this project, students should choose one of the important figures in psychology listed
below and write a two-page biographical sketch of the individual. In
this sketch, include biographical information. This should also include
an explanation about which perspective(s) the psychologist is
connected to. Discuss why the psychologist is/was highly regarded.
Discuss why you chose that individual in particular. The only place in
your paper where “I” should be used is in the one paragraph where you discuss why you chose this particular person.
Do not
start your paper out with “I chose ….”, “The person I am writing
about” , “For my paper I will” etc. A well written paper should start
off by introducing the topic. You do not need to state that you chose
this person to write about. Start off with a “hook” something to get
your reader interested in the psychologist and your paper.
simply list publications/stages/theory/terms and definitions.
