Guidelines for Scholarly Paper
You are expected to write an original, Scholarly Paper, addressing a topic relevant to the course. For a list of possible topics, you may wish to review our textbook’s Table of Contents or Index. You are not limited to these topics; in fact, you are invited to study, research, and write about a neuroscience-related topic/theme that is of special interest and/or relevance to you.
The Scholarly Paper should demonstrate critical thinking skills commensurate with advanced levels of scholarship, such as evaluation, analysis and synthesis. You may wish to review Bloom’s Taxonomy for clarification. Note that a scholarly paper usually incorporates a thesis, antithesis (a contrasting or opposing position) and synthesis. Be sure to defend (i.e., substantiate) your position statements with research-based evidence and well-thought “arguments.” Provide a reasoned critique of salient themes or positions you have advanced. Suggest directions for further study and research. Additionally, be sure to detail 1-2 key studies to illustrate how central themes are empirically investigated. Provide brief information regarding hypothesis, sampling and design methodologies, and results. Then, provide some critique and summary statements regarding the implications of the study or studies. Be sure you have used and cited references that meet the standard for scholarship.
Use of at least ten scholarly sources is required. The paper must follow current APA guidelines. The paper should be double-spaced, using a 12-point font size and a common font face, such as Times New Roman. Be sure to proof your paper for spelling, clarity and organization, and check that it has been formatted in accordance with APA style. Refer to the print APA Publication Manual 6th ed., or visit the APA website, or Vanguard University’s APA Style Essentials for assistance. The paper should be six pages in length, at a minimum, excluding the title, abstract and reference pages. Correct in-text citation and citation format in reference section are imperative to receiving a good grade on this assignment. Please refer to apa.org to review the proper ways to cite information.
 
The topic chosen for this paper is: The effects of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalophaty) and criminal history.
This topic is very relevant and interesting right now following the extensive research and documentary published about Aaron Hernandez (Ex NFL star that had severe CTE and an extensive criminal history that resulted from impulsiveness, aggression, poor judgment and decision making, etc – all signs of CTE).
