PSY101 Last Extra Credit Opportunity Available!!!

Hi all,

Here are the details you've been waiting for...

For 20 points of extra credit, you must submit a TWO PAGE paper (TYPED [I will not accept hand written], double spaced, 12 pt font, Times New Roman) highlighting and describing a pioneer in the field of Psychology.

You should spend one paragraph (your introduction) identifying the pioneer (Bandura, Freud, Skinner - DO NOT use one of these) and his/her major accomplishments.

In your second and third paragraphs (body), you should describe their major projects and/or findings (The Skinner Box, Psychoanalysis, Bobo Doll). You should DEFINITELY mention critiques and praise of this researcher's work. (Remember the basis of peer reviewed - empirically based research. We are nothing if our peers do not review our work and ask questions, point out weaknesses and points of improvement.)

In your fourth (and final) paragraph, you should describe further areas of research, even identifying where other pioneers have continued on in his or her footsteps.

This should take you no more than 30 minutes to draft and 30 minutes to edit and tweak. I want to see EVERYTHING you've learned this semester come to a peak in this SHORT 2 page paper. We've discussed so many researchers in the field, you should have no problem working through this.

I urge you to submit a quality product. Show me how the study of the mind and behavior has shaped your understanding.

This will be due in class with your final exam!

Questions? Holler!
