Reflection Portfolio

The reflection portfolio serves two purposes. First, it provides students an alternative to completing five credits of research studies. Second, it allows students to more deeply explore various important topics in the field of psychology. 

To complete the portfolio, students will take part in five different activities. These activities include:  

  • explore a TED talk about common myths in psychology 
  • take a Big Five Personality Inventory
  • watch a documentary about people with unusually extensive autobiographical memory 
  • view a TED talk about stress and health outcomes 
  • learn more early childhood experiences and their impact on subsequent development

After each activity, students will write a two-page reflection (Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced) about what they’ve learned. The total portfolio length will be 10 pages. More information about this assignment is available in the Canvas Assignments section for this course.
