Paper Assignment Overview, Psychoactive Drugs, Spring 2012 1 General This class is designated as a writing intensive course. To fulfill the requirements of this course you will need to turn in APA formatted writing assignments: 1. A 4 6 page Proposal: due by 11:59 PM, Wednesday 3/28/12 2. A 6 8 page Final Paper: due by 11:59 PM, Monday, 4/30/12 The page requirement includes both the title and references page (required for APA format), so you will need 2 4 pages of actual text for the Proposal and 4 6 pages of actual text for the Final Paper. Topics There are two kinds of topics you can choose: 1. A controversy surrounding psychoactive drugs. 2. Public statements made about psychoactive drugs. a. good example is a website about one or more psychoactive drugs published by some organization. b. In this case, your thesis will be that something is wrong about the statement. No matter what your topic is, your paper should be about one kind of psychoactive drug, either 1. A specific drug (e.g. marijuana, methamphetamine) 2. A very narrow class of drugs. For example, stimulants as a topic is too broad, but amphetamines is not. Anti depressants as a topic is too broad, but SSRIs is not. Generally the requirements are the same for both topics. See below for specific requirements that are different between the two topics. Thesis Remember a thesis are talking about psychology (and science in general) you are not really going to prove anything you are going to provide evidence for it. Overall, your paper should be a logical argument for the statement you make in your thesis. A bad argument ignores or dismisses opposing viewpoints. Sometimes people dismiss the opposing viewpoint by stating that it is just false. There are other bad ways of addressing the opposing argument (see below). Your job is to give a fair and accurate portrayal of the opposing viewpoint, then crush it with your evidence and arguments.
