Question

You may get more out of this course if you have some idea of how psychology is applied in an area of interest to you. Psychology has applications in virtually every area of human endeavor, including health, business, sports, therapy, education, and even the design of automobiles and other machines. Chapters from an applied psychology textbook have been placed on reserve in the library, covering these and many other topics. For extra credit, you may select and read one of these chapters and write a "chapter report" on it. (If you decide to do this assignment, first ask the Reserve Desk staff for the "Introduction to Applied Psychology Contents" which gives information on the chapters available.) Your report should be 5 to 6 pages in length, typed (10 or 12 point font) and double-spaced. Your report should summarize the entire chapter, rather than focus on one area or a few areas of a chapter. If you wish, your report may also include any reactions or observations you may have related to the chapter content, based on your personal experiences or other things you have read. Please staple papers in the top left comer - no binders! Be sure to indicate your name and class section on the first page. Papers will be evaluated for content, style, and clarity of presentation. Additional points will be added to your overall course points as follows: 3 for an exceptional paper, 2 for a satisfactory paper, or 1 for a less-than-satisfactory paper which still shows significant effort.
