I will expect a report similar to a lab report detailing what you observed during the dissections.
Final Project
Your final project will be your final exam. Each of you (either in groups of 2 or 4) are required to create and present your final. Your final project is on a topic in psychology that you have discussed with me. The format must be a multimedia presentation. We will be heading to the computer lab this thursday and i will show you how to use the imovie and iphoto program . The format can also be a powerpoint presentation. You will be required to present it during finals week to the class. The idea would be that I would be able to use your presentation in my psychology class in the following years.
See Me for More Details.

I highly advise you to finish your SQ3R notes for Chapter 17 as we will begin the final chapter next week.
Start your AP review by looking over the review sheets and finding out what you are not familiar with and list these as priorities . Begin to study from these lists and your text book.
If you haven't turned in your "Choosing a Psychotherapist " article or Chapter 17 notes do so now.
