Assignment Description:
Please write a 3-4 paper that analyzes a famous/infamous person (a real person, not a fictitious person or book/movie/TV character). Please be sure to do the following:

Content requirements:

·         Write a short summary (not more than 1 page) of the individual’s life.

·         Chose a theory discussed in class and/or assigned readings and apply that theory to analyze the individual’s personality. Be sure to choose 2 or more theories—the most appropriate ones given the individual’s personality.

·         Do not choose an individual whose biography was discussed and/or analyzed in the textbook.

·         Write this paper with the intended audience being a person with little knowledge of psychology and/or personality theories. Therefore, you must explain key terms and concepts thoroughly.

·         Provide specific examples to illustrate your points.

·         Use at least three outside, scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.

Writing requirements:

·         The paper must include a cover page formatted in APA style, 3-4 pages of text, and a reference page with the sources referenced in accordance with APA style requirements. References should be cited both in the text as well as in the reference page. Please see attached document that outlines expected APA formatting in a 300-level paper.

·         Organize this paper just like you would organize a good essay: introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Although this site explains an argument paper, it gives good tips for writing introductions and body paragraphs. 

·         Developing an outline prior to writing the paper can help you organize your thoughts and material. Click here for information on how to create an outline. 

·         All papers must have a thesis statement. Click here for guidelines for writing a thesis statement.

·         Well-developed paragraphs should be between 3-5 sentences long and contain topic sentences that summarize the main point and content of the paragraph and correspond to the thesis statement. If you are unsure of how to write good paragraphs, click here for more information .

·         At any point in the writing process you are encouraged to reach out to your instructor for guidance, make an appointment to see someone in the Student Success Center, or use Blackboard’s Online Tutoring. For writing resources, please check the Student Success Center’s Writing Resources 

·         Remember to use your Instructor Feedback, Peer Review, and Self Evaluation notes to help improve your paper before submitting your final draft.

·         Submit your paper in Canvas.
