Question
You should search out three kinds of information about Lewis Terman: a) biographical material, b) papers and books written by the individual, and c) comments by others about the nature and significance of this individual's work, as well as other evidence of the person’s influence. The paper should discuss both the life and the work of your person. It should be approximately ten (10) double- spaced pages, not including reference page, title page, or abstract. Important: All of the psychologists assigned did far more work in their lifetime than could be described in such a brief paper, thus a focus on some small aspect of the person’s work is critical to success on this assignment. The paper should be structured as follows: biography (4 pages), focus on some aspect of the person’s published work (7 pages). What you select is up to you and should reflect your own interests. There is a tendency in writing these papers to present the individual in a largely positive light. In some cases, such an assessment may be entirely merited. But your job as “historian” in this assignment is to interpret the data as objectively as you can, and that means being critical when such criticism is called for. Paper Specifications: • The paper will be approximately 11 pages in length (not including ancillary pages) • Include 10 scholarly/reputable sources • Paper will adhere to APA format and style guidelines • Paper will include a title page, abstract, and reference page.You should search out three kinds of information about Lewis Terman:
