Essay Instructions: Animal Behavior Paper Assignment
You will write one term paper for this class. This will not be a research paper; rather it will be
a position paper, which means you will be arguing one side of a controversy that somehow relates to
animal behavior. Which controversy you choose and which side you take are both entirely up to
you??"I want you to pick something you’re interested in. If you’re unsure if a topic is appropriate, by
all means email me and I will tell you. If you need some suggestions, I have included a few possible
topics at the end of this document. Again, I emphasize that this is NOT a research paper, so you
should NOT just be rattling off facts. Instead, you should be making a convincing argument and
supporting it with factual evidence. This means that you will have to consult at least a couple sources,
but not necessarily more than that (more is okay if you so desire). Of course, all your sources must be
appropriately cited.

Formatting Specifications:
• 3-4 pages double spaced…this does NOT include your references, although you may put them at
the bottom of a page if there’s room in the interest of conserving paper.
• double-sided printing. I don’t want to hear that your printer can’t do it. Everyone’s printer can do it.
It’s called manually printing each sheet separately and feeding the pages back in so it prints doublesided.
This is a 3-4 page paper, so this should not be difficult. Please ensure that no pages are upsidedown;
that’s very irritating. I won’t take off points for it, but do you really want the person grading
your paper to be cranky? Not so much.
• no spaces between paragraphs.
• all margins between 0.75” and 1”, size 12 Times New Roman font, double-spaced. Deviate from
these specifications at your own risk??"for this I do reserve the right to take off points, because a
monkey could follow these instructions.
• make sure to include a title, and try to make the title at least a little creative/interesting.
• staple the paper. If you don’t own a stapler, figure out a way. sew the pages together. DON’T DO
THE CORNER FOLD-OVER THING.

Plagiarizing:
Hopefully you gleaned how I feel about cheaters from the Course Overview, but just in case, I’ll
restate it here: cheating/plagiarizing on your papers will NOT be tolerated. You will not only fail the
paper, ***YOU WILL FAIL THE COURSE, NO EXCEPTIONS.*** If you’re unsure about what
constitutes plagiarizing, ASK ME.

Citing:
There are more details on citing in the “Common Errors” handout (on Angel), but in general you
should use the (Author, date) method. That means that whenever you make a statement that is not
entirely original (which is okay), you MUST cite the source at the end of the sentence (inside the
period). Inside the parentheses you list the last name(s) of the author(s) and the year the source was
published. If there are more than two authors, simply write the first author’s name and then write et
al., which is Latin for “and the rest.” In the bibliography, however, you need to write out all of their
names. You should NOT be using only websites as your sources, particularly not just Wikipedia
(user-generated content has a price). You should primarily be using books and peer-reviewed
scientific journal articles. Note that you need to cite whenever you are paraphrasing.
***When writing your papers, make sure to read the two documents I posted on Angel regarding
common mistakes made by students in their writing. They are called “Writing Issues” and “Common
Writing Errors.” If I see any of these in your final papers, I’ll deduct points.
Possible topics (if you don’t know what they are, google them):
• the use of captive/lab animals in animal behavior research (i.e. not medical research)
• the sociobiology/evolutionary psychology controversy
• behavioral genetics (e.g., genetic basis of intelligence)
• do animals have language?
• is human behavior currently under natural selection?
• is there such a thing as true altruism?
• group selection
• hypotheses for intelligence: ecological complexity vs. social complexity
• do animals dream?
• do contraceptive pills affect mate choice?

Essay Instructions: I need an argumentative research paper that says both sides of the argument. The reasons why animals should be used for research and testing, and the reasons why animals should not be used. In the end my stance needs to support the view that animals should NOT be used. I am an animal lover, especially dogs, they have feelings too. I need 7 sources, 4 of them can be from the internet. Thanks
