The topic I am interested in is Early personality formation, helps shape us into the people we will become in the future. As I personally believe experiences, upbringing financial status, and family culture, all shape us into the people we are. The formation of our personalities is determined by how we take the challenges we are faced with and any choices we make to solve them or accept them. Your personality is the shape at the end of your life. It is something that is built as time goes on, there may be experiences that you have later in life that affect you, but it all begins from the early stages of life. Please find

Or another pseudoscience subject – feel free to talk to the instructor for ideas.
One you have your pseudoscience website/article, students will find at least two
more articles that utilize scientific method for your subject.
Quality papers are usually a minimum of 3 pages long (not including title and
reference) but do not go longer than 5 pages.
Your paper will have three main sections and answer each question or discussion topic
listed below each section.
1. Claims/Assumptions/Evidence
What is the primary claim being made by believers of the claim?
What is one hidden assumption being made by the believers?
What is one kind of evidence they use?
What is one alternative, more plausible explanation, for their claims?
There will be one research writing project this semester. The paper should be minimally 3 pages in length
(double-spaced, single sided), but no more than 5. Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation is expected and
will be factored into your grade. Plagiarized papers will result in a failing grade for the course (i.e., a grade of
“F”) and the student will be referred to the Office of Student Affairs. More details regarding the structure of the
paper will be provided on Canvas. Papers will be turned in electronically via canvas and edited electronically
and returned electronically on Turnitin.com (more about this later). Therefore, papers must be submitted as
Word documents (.doc or .docx) or PDF. If you do not have Word, please let me know, as SCU has this
available to students.
