My psych prof gives the WORST directions (as in - none) for papers. I've asked for help and he never makes time for me. He has office hours RIGHT NOW and I asked to come up and he didn't reply. Our paper outline is due on Wednesday and I'm literally in tears because I don't understand what he wants and I only found out a couple days ago we even have to do an outline. He forgot to put it on the syllabus.

Our paper instructions are:

Students will examine a personality theory and apply the theory to life situation, problem, or a design a therapeutic approach based on the personality theory. Another option would be evaluating the personality on the basis of how well the theory addresses a real life issue.

That's it. It doesn't even make sense to me and I can't get a hold of him. I am ready to drop out.
