♦ The term paper is due on January 10, 2019. Term papers handed in late will be
deducted 10% plus 2% for each additional day late.
♦ Inform me of your term paper topic as soon as possible and before you start writing
(email or personal meeting). The list of topics shown is not restrictive -- you may
choose another topic, provided it is related to the course and has been approved by me.
♦ Be as concise as possible in the choice of topic. A topic like “Mood Disorders” is too
broad. Graduate students: It is recommended that you write about a topic related to your
thesis, if relevant to the course.
♦ Have an introduction that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and make sure you
follow your indicated topic.
♦ Use references that are current. Some of the references may be books or reviews, but
make sure to refer to some up-to-date original articles. Do not just provide a summary
of a chapter or a review, but demonstrate your ability to read and interpret the current
literature.
♦ References in text and bibliography should use a non-numbered style (e.g., APA).
♦ Make sure the references in your text match with your bibliography.
♦ DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.
