Dictums and Maxims of term paper

1. Psychology is ³what you perceive´ not what you read. Quoting theories (except for the definitions given by

the experts and psychologists) is not what is actually expected from a psychology student. It¶s about how

has he perceived and how has he interpreted.

2. To be specific and centered on the topic is very important. Psychology is not a one factor study. It is the

study of human behavior which is influenced by so many interdependent factors.

3. Organization of the study-analysis is yet another field to be looked upon carefully . This requires you to

break the term paper into suitable modules and sub-module which is done as follows.

Modules of term paper

The term paper has three major modules as follows.

Theoretical approach ± consists of definitions, concepts, misconceptions, doubts, analogies and

experiments involved. It is totally book-reading based aspect. Involves work of presentation and tactics.

This module involves books rather all source of any kind of information. It is just a self analysis of the

topic, what it can be, what it might be. This way it tries to enhance our question putting ability and

grasping-learning capability

Practical approach ± involvement of real life examples, their comparison and deviation from the theory

studied, analysis and surveying in general (if possible), focusing on the method of gathering practical

information should also be specified properly. . It helps the learner to enhance capability and presentation

techniques.
