Psych Seminar

The topic i was given to write about is Psychopathy and fearlessness (Lykken) (also current dominant theroy)

The first major writing assignment in this class is a 910 page paper, including both the title page and reference page, and the topic will be assigned by the instructor around the third to fourth full week of classes. This paper is worth 30% of the total course grade. It must include a minimum of five scientific journal references, meaning scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles such as those found in journals like the Journal of Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology, or the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology; websites or non-scholarly sources do not count toward this requirement. Papers that are turned in late will be penalized by 10 percentage points for each day they are late, so for example, a paper that earns an 85 but is submitted two days late would be lowered to a 65. In addition to the paper itself, students must give an approximately 2223 minute presentation based on the topic of their first paper, with the exact timing depending on class size. Presentation dates are determined by lot and may only be changed if another student agrees to swap dates. For the presentation, students are encouraged to be creative and may incorporate a movie clip, TED Talk, book quote, historical figure, fictional character, or other relevant media to either praise or critique its depiction of psychopathy, but if another student presents the same clip first, a different example should be chosen. Students may optionally post PowerPoints or journal articles on Blackboard to expand on their presentation. Presentations are graded on factual content, quality of presentation, use of audio-visual materials, ability to stimulate class participation, and creativity, and peer feedback will also be considered. The presentation itself is worth 30% of the course grade, meaning the first paper and its presentation together account for 60% of the overall course grade.

Below ive also attached some articles that i feel could be used in the paper but im not sure if those are good i could be wrong but just something to help if needed
