Case Study
The Late Paper:
Human Development 8 Text, Pg. 38-39
Professor Freud announced in her syllabus for Psychology 101 that the final term paper
had to be in her hands by noon on December 18. No Student, she emphasized, would pass
the course without a completed term paper turned in on time. As the semester drew to a
close, Kim had an A average in Professor Freud’s Psychology class, and she began
researching her term paper with excitement.
Arnold, Kim’s husband, felt threatened that he had only a high school diploma, while his
wife was getting close to her college degree. Arnold worked at a bakery, and his coworker,
Phillip, began teasing that Kim would soon dump Arnold for a college guy. That is when
Arnold started accusing Kim of having an affair, and demanded that she drop out of
college. She told Arnold that he was being ridiculous. In fact, she said, a young man in her
history class had asked her out, but she refused. Instead of feeling better, Arnold
became even angrier. With Phillip continuing to provoke him, Arnold became sure Kim was
having an affair, and he began telling her everyday that she was stupid and would never get
a degree.
Despite the tension at home, Kim finished her psychology term paper a day before it was
due. Since Arnold had hidden the car keys, she decided to take the bus to the college and
turn in her psychology paper a day early. Cindy, One of Kim’s Psychology class mates, drove
up and invited Kim to join her and some other students in an end-of-the-semester
celebration. Kim told Cindy she was on her way to turn in her term paper, and Cindy
promised she would make sure Kim got it in on time. “I deserve some fun,” Kim decided,
and hopped into the car. The celebration went long into the night. Kim kept asking Cindy
to take her home, but Cindy always replied, “don’t be such a bore; have another drink.
When Cindy finally took Kim home, it was 4:30 in the morning. She sighed with relief when
she found that Arnold had already fallen asleep.
When Kim woke up, it was 11:30 a.m., just 30 minutes before her term paper was due. She
could make it to the college on-time by car, so she shook Arnold and begged him to drive
her. He just snapped, “Oh sure, you stay out all night with your college friends. Then I am
supposed to get up on my day off and drive you all over town. Forget it.” “At least give me
the keys”, she said, but Arnold merely rolled over and went back to sleep. Panicked, Kim
called Professor Freud’s office and told Mary, the secretary, that she was having car
trouble. “Don’t worry,” Mary assured Kim, “I’m sure Professor Freud won’t care if your
term paper’s a little late. Just be sure to have it here before she leaves at 1:00.”
Relieved, Kim decided not to wake Arnold again; instead, she took the bus.
At 12:15, Kim walked into Professor Freud’s Office with her term paper. Professor Freud
said, “Sorry Kim, You’re 15 minutes late.” She refused to accept Kim’s term paper, and
gave her an F in the class.
Listed below are the characters in this story. Rank them in order of their
responsibility for Kim’s failing grade in Psychology 101. Give a different score to
each character. Be prepared to explain your choices.
Most responsible - 123456 - Least responsible
___ Professor Freud, the teacher ___ Phillip, Arnold’s coworker
___ Kim, the psychology student ___ Cindy, Kim’s classmate
___ Arnold, Kim’s husband ___ Mary, Prof, Freud’s secretary
Diving deeper is there someone not mentioned in the story who may also bear
responsibility for Kim’s failing grade.

important skill.
You will need:
a three-ring binder (with rings at least 1“ in diameter)
2 packages of dividers
notebook paper and graph paper
a hole puncher
To prepare your notebook:
Prepare tabs on dividers by labeling them:
Course info: Syllabus and notes

Extra paper
A place for pens, pencils, eraser, and white out
To assemble your notebook,
put the dividers into the notebook
file any papers you have into the proper section
When finished, have your instructor sign you off below.
