LEARNING ACTIVITY #5: PERSONALITY DISORDERS PAPER
Read Chapter 13 of your Comer textbook.
Write a two to three page paper covering the personality disorders. Present two supporting scholarly sources, apply APA formatting, and follow the Paper Writing rubric.
To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need thoroughly addressed:
Present a scholarly definition of personality disorders and state whether or not you agree with it and why.
Looking at DSM-5 criteria, distinguish between personality traits we all exhibit and actually having a personality disorder.
Out of the specific conditions of antisocial, borderline, narcissistic, paranoia, schizoid and schizotypal; select and explain at least two personality disorders their features, symptoms, and differences.
Indicate causes and treatments of personality disorders.
Summarize your spiritual worldview as to how you integrate these concepts and ideas within Christianity.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
