PEOPLE PROFILES
ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS
(in development)

Choose a person to study.

Projects can be a written assignment, a poster presentation, an oral presentation or a combination. You may also want to choose both a skeptical and a paranormal person to study to allow comparisons between the two.

This first batch of questions is if you are only choosing one person to profile. The next batch is if you are choosing one of each.

1. Try to find at least five sources where you can learn about the person you are researching.

2. Write a brief biographical profile of the person.

3. Based on your research, is the person you are profiling, a Skeptic or a Paranormal personality? Explain how and why you reached your conclusion.

4. Choose one or more phenomena that the person has taken a stance on and describe what the person believes about the particular phenomena. Do they provide any reasons for their belief? If so, what are they?

5. Based on your research, what influences do you think may have contributed to the person's position?
