One of the goals of the PSY 230 class is to demonstrate that it is relevant to your past, present, and future life. I hope through the class lectures I have shown how the content of this class is not hypothetical but pertinent and applicable to our lives. However, I want to give you a chance to show the connections you’ve made with your life and the course content. I want you to answer the questions below based on your life experience and the class content we’ve covered this semester. When you reference a specific term or concept from class, please remind me what chapter it is from. The assignment is worth 50 points. I hate providing length requirements to writing assignments, but in order to give thorough and complete responses your paper should be at least 1.5-2 pages of content (title pages don’t count.) You must use 12-point font, 1” margins, doubled spaced lines, and upload the document as a word document or pdf file on Canvas by the due date. I don’t mind if you share your thoughts or opinions with your colleagues while preparing this assignment, but your paper should be uniquely written from your own perspective and not copied from others. That’s been a problem in the past!
1) Identify two concepts, terms, or topics that you have personal experience with from the class. Explain the connection between the course material and your life and how those two concepts/terms/topics had, are having, or will have an influence on you.
2) What have been your favorite and least favorite chapters in the class? Explain why you chose those two chapters as your favorite or least favorite.
3) What has been your favorite (class-related) video clip shown in class? Why was it your favorite? Can you suggest any other TV shows or movies that would be relevant to the class?
