Portfolio Activities
Each week the class members
work collaboratively to solve
problems or explore issues in psychology.
These activities are documented
and the 'paperwork' is turned in at the end
of the semester (check syllabus
for due dates)in a prepared portfolio (use a
folder). Handouts and
worksheets may also be used in these ' participation'
activities. You
must be present to participate! Credit is not earned when
you are absent.
The 'participation' portfolio is worth 100 pts. Since you
must be
present,handouts etc. can not be provided on the website (a couple
of
exceptions) nor can you make them
up.
