SJSU Schemes of Human Mating Living Organisms Reproduction & Intimacy Essay

Final Paper: Your final paper will entail you writing an essay about a popular book (“Evolution of Desire” by David Buss) written by a psychologist on a psychological topic. To help you stay on track for your Final Paper,

a) Make sure you incorporate the feedback you got from your abstract/reference(s)

b) Your final draft should be 4-5 pages—1500 words minimum— summarizing the 3 major ideas and a minimum of 1 psychological study in support of each idea, along with references in APA style

****ALL written assignments need to use 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins.

Additional pointers:

Aim for a 5-paragraph paper with:

1) an introductory paragraph (similar to what you turned in already for your final paper topic assignment),

2) 3 paragraphs for the body of the paper, with 1 idea and 1 study in support of that idea in each paragraph–taken from the book

3) An conclusion where you sum up the point of the book and your opinion of it.

Throughout, you should be paraphrasing the author’s ideas. If you decide to do quotes (not required), make sure you do it in APA style (i.e., cite by putting the author’s last name, publication year, and page number where you found the quote in parenthesis).

Remember to also include the reference for the book (updated with any feedback you got from before to be in APA style)
