Abstract
A method is described for incorporating student papers based on published biographies or autobiographies into an upper-division undergraduate personality theory course. Questions are offered for the purpose of guiding discussion and written assignments, relating text material to the biography term paper. The advantages of this method are its intrinsic student interest, its breadth of scope within a liberal arts framework, and its fostering of student critical thinking and classroom discussion.Keywords
