Knowledge of concepts in psychology.
Purpose: This final project will allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of concepts in psychology and further reflect on how they are relevant in your life and within society. Psychology is applicable in all of our lives and the intent of this assignment is for you to connect and understand concepts that are pertinent and new to you. You have an opportunity to choose topics within psychology that interest you and further explore them beyond the classroom.
Skills: There are many skills that will be utilized within this project including identifying credible research, applying global views to psychology, critical thinking and reflection as well as learning how to display your research in a written format (portfolio). This project also provides a unique opportunity for you to be creative via paper format or digital format.
Task: You will be developing a portfolio to display the psychological concepts that you are most interested in. Your portfolio should reflect your creativity, thinking and imagination and demonstrate that you have learned at least 3 concepts discussed in class.
