Week #16 Final Assignment

| 32 Comments

For this last assignment I would like you to reflect on what you have learned in this class the semester. Please answer the following questions. What are three topics that you found interesting during the semester? Why? How has the material you have learned in this class changed the way you think about psychology and the world in general? How has the material you have learned in this class, complemented what you have learned in other classes at UNI?

Please answer the questions in sufficient detail as warranted for a final assignment.

Let me know if you have any questions,

--Dr. M

| 30 Comments
What I would like you to do is to find a PERSON or TOPIC from the chapter you chose to read this week that you are interested in and search the internet for material on that PERSON or TOPIC. Please use 3 or more quality resources.If you did a Person: Once you have completed your search and explorations, a) I would like you to say WHO your PERSON is, b) how exactly HE OR SHE fits into the chapter, and c) why you are interested in THIS PERSON. Next, I would like you to take the information you read or viewed related to your PERSON, integrate/synthesize it, and then write about it. At the end of your post, please include working URLs for the three websites. Keep in mind that it will be easier if you keep it to one topic.
