This assignment explores Brain lateralization. The aim is to write a paper describing what the current understanding of lateralization is, and explaining how that is misunderstood into the myth of being “left brained” or “right brained”.

Brain lateralization.

CHOICE C: Brain lateralization is a popular subject of study. Your textbook mentions some information on certain abilities being located on one side of the brain or the other. Write a paper describing what the current understanding of lateralization is, and explaining how that is misunderstood into the myth of being “left brained” or “right brained”. Unit Paper Guidelines: 1. Purpose and Basic Content Information: a. The purpose of these papers is to get you to explore, in greater depth, some topic covered in the current unit that you found interesting.

These papers are a study technique – while spending time with this information, you’ll be rehearsing things we went over in class and also getting a better understanding of the material. b. Because the goal is to get deeper knowledge of the topic, these papers require research. Every paper must have at least three outside sources – something that you have found outside of class (not in your textbook, not taken directly from your in class notes) that fits in with the theme of your paper. Your textbook will often be an additional source, but you need three others.

Papers without outside sources will always receive a grade of 0 and have no chance of being changed to any other score. Do not, under any circumstances, write a paper without sources. c. Your writing should stick close to the content covered in the given unit. If you are spending the majority of your writing on something not at all related to what we have covered, you are not writing a valid paper. For example, we will be covering psychological disorders in Unit 4. Thus, papers on topics like depression or schizophrenia would be relevant only in Unit 4, and would not be valid papers.

d. Papers should not use the same examples used in class or in the book. When I explore how a movie, story from my life, or other example illustrates a given concept, it is done to give you an idea of how that concept works in the real world. If you are covering the same concept in your paper, you MUST find your own, new, original examples, showing you’ve put thought into the idea. Papers should not be transcribed class notes. e. There will be a number of topics provided for each unit, posted in the relevant folder.

If none of these topics strike your interest, you can suggest a topic of your own to me – but you must approach me with your ideas AT LEAST ONE WEEK before the paper is due.

Topics will be approved at my discretion (in the past, rejected topics have usually been too broad to be covered in a paper of this length, too narrow to possibly have enough information on it, or unrelated to the unit). You MUST get my approval to write on any original topic, or your grade will suffer. 2. Sources: a. Every paper must have at least three outside source – something that you have found outside of class (not in your textbook) that fits in with the theme of your paper.

Your textbook will often be another source. Main sources should not be reference books/websites, such as encyclopedias and dictionaries (these can be used as a second or third source, however). https://youtu.be/owFnH01SD-s
