Detailed Description:
Throughout this semester, you will be exposed to a wide variety of psychological constructs and their applications. For your final project in this course, you will pick one topic that you think is really important for people to know. Then, you will devise a way to share this information with a specific audience.
Step 1: Choose a psychological theory or construct that we have covered in introductory psychology.
Look through the chapters and pick a topic that you found particularly interesting and want to learn more about. You can pick anything that was covered this semester in PSY 101. You can pick any topic you found interesting but here are some examples
A famous psychologist
A famous research study
The role of the frontal lobes
The importance of sleep
Real-world examples of Gestalt perception
Use of operant conditioning in school
How to avoid problem-solving biases
Techniques for improving memory
How parenting style affects a child's development
How to motivate others
Cultural differences in personality
Prejudice and discrimination
Creating work-life balance
Techniques to cope with stress
Any psychological disorder or category of disorders
Reducing barriers to therapy
Note: Make sure to pick a topic that has at least 5 big ideas that you can summarize in 500 words or more (100 words for each idea). You must provide an explanation of the topic that is comprehensive and easy to understand.
Step 2: Identify the audience who needs this information (You will not actually present to this audience).
This step is important because the nature of the information you prepare and how you present the information may change depending upon your chosen audience.
If my topic was aggression and my audience is women at a women’s shelter, I will present primarily information that relates to women.
If my topic is the function of different areas of the brain and my audience is children, a children’s book, video or song would be most appropriate.
Step 3: Decide on the format for your project/report – here are a few ideas:
A press release (~500 words)
A persuasive blog post (~500 words)
A recorded visual presentation w/PowerPoint (~10 minutes in length)
A podcast (~10 minutes in length)
A children’s story (if your audience is little ones)
A song (~3 minutes long)
A art gallery display
An animation
A interest page
A how-to brochure

Step 4: Summarize the 5 big ideas of your psychological topic in 500 words or more. Learn more about your topic. Review the information in the textbook and videos and search out additional scholarly or popular press articles. Before citing articles from the popular press, apply the CRAAP TestLinks to an external site. and look for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. Then, in a document that you will upload:
List your topic
List your audience
Clearly label each big idea and describe it in at least 100 words using scholarly/formal writing
Include a References page that lists your sources in the citation style of your choice (e.g., APA, MLA)
Personal reflection (see Step 6)
Step 5: Work your magic! Put together an innovative project to share this psychological information. Convey your information in a manner that is easy for your audience to understand. Assume they know nothing about the topic. Your project should display each of your 5 big ideas in some manner (written, spoken, visual).
If you are submitting a written project (like a blog post), be sure to write your project differently from your summary. Your summary should use scholarly/formal writing while your project needs to have writing suitable for your audience.
Step 6: Write a personal reflection (50-word minimum) on your experience with this project. Include in your personal reflection:
Why you chose the topic
Why you chose the audience
What you learned from the project
