Personality Psychology: Domains of Knowledge About Human Nature By Randy J. Larson/ David M. Buss

A five-page paper will be submitted through Blackboard. It will consist of a set of personal reflections on the reading of the textbook. Reflections should consist of personal reactions, insights, speculations, and observations based on the reading assignments. Keep in mind that summaries of the book’s content are not reflections; they will not be credited at all in this assignment. Additional instructions and guidelines for this assignment are found in the appendices to this syllabus. Be sure to follow those instructions and guidelines. Appendix 2: General Guidelines for Written Assignments in Psychology Follow these specifications, unless you are instructed otherwise: 1. Double space everything. 2. Use a standard 12-point font. The one I recommend is Times New Roman. It looks like this and is very easy to read when printed out and double-spaced. 3. Use one-inch margins all around on every page. 4. Number all your pages in the upper right-hand corner. 5. Always include a cover page. The cover page should be centered and should include (listed on separate lines): your paper’s title; your name; the name of your course; your school and the due date. 6. Create a title that is original and descriptive, not something bland and thoughtless like “Psychology Reflection Paper.” 7. Do not include an abstract in your paper. 8. Include a references page; all your references should be formatted correctly in APA style (not in MLA style or some other style). 9. Grammar-check and spell-check your paper before submitting it. 10. Keep both hard-copy and electronic-copy back-ups of your paper. 11. Remember that your cover page and your references page do not count toward the page count of the paper. For example, a five-page reflection paper should have a title page, five full pages of text, and a references page. 12. Do not plagiarize at all. Plagiarizing (copying someone else’s work and passing it off without credit as your own) will not be tolerated. You will fail for it.
