this week (4/25-4/29)

Free response quiz this week (most likely Wednesday).  Terms will be from a variety of units, and this will count for about 20 points for term 4.

Due Friday 4/29:  1-1.5 page (typed, double spaced, well formatted and well organized) analysis of a work of fiction (book, movie, poem, play, song, TV episode, etc.) using five (or more!) bold terms, all from different units.  Also worth 20 points for term 4, based on quality of writing, correct/clear application and thoughtfulness of terms selected.  


to be done in class on Tuesday 4/26

Visit the following site:  http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/psychsim5/launcher.html

You have the remainder of the period to explore the activities on this page.  You may also use the time productively by taking the practice exam, or (lastly) reviewing on your own.

"mystery client" answers

D block:  answers to the "mystery client" activity you picked up on your way out of class today (definitely good to look through and see if you can pick out a few symptoms that characterize the disorder):  1) major depressive disorder; 2) generalized anxiety disorder; 3) dissociative identity disorder; 4) antisocial personality disorder; 5) schizophrenia

(G block:  these were the five cases studies we looked at in class last week that contained basic information about five different people - clients are referred to by initials only)
