This extra credit option is only available to those students under 18 years of age.

The website listed below contains links to articles from the news that pertain to psychology.

Select an article, read it, and type a one-page, double-spaced report of the article. Your report should contain a summary of the article and a paragraph stating why this topic is important/relevant to the field of psychology. One report will be worth 4 extra credit points (if you do an acceptable job). You may complete up to five reports (20 points max).

A printed summary for each article must be handed in to Dr. Malone by Friday, December 5th to receive credit. No emailed summaries will be accepted. Please staple your summaries together. You do not need to include a copy of the article itself.
