You can be creative here and have fun with this!   Write a 3–4-page essay incorporating the following:   Describe the major themes and concepts from each of the five major schools of thought. Describe your school of thought, being specific about the subject matter you would like to work on. Integrate concepts from the major psychological schools of thought in the history of psychology.

Basically, throughout the semester we broke up the research proposal into parts and wrote 2 bibliographies, found a research question, found 5 resources, and so on. I just need for you to put all of this together into one research proposal.  My research question is: “How does understanding a person reflects the way we think?”

You will need to save a dated copy of your journals each week onto a word document as they will also be added to your portfolio project as a data source that will show your change over time.   Additionally, each student will be required to make 2 thoughtful comments on two other classmate’s discussion board posts. The student will choose two posts that are personally meaningful and respond in detail explaining why their post was insightful.   For both parts: the student will be required to utilize personal insight as well as vocabulary from the textbook when constructing their discussion board journals and when responding to classmates posts.   Please note the specific guidelines that students are required to follow regarding their Journal Discussion Board questions.   Students should have an awareness that the Journal Discussion Board is a place where respectful communication is expected. The personal growth goals chosen by students may be very sensitive topics. Therefore, all shared insights and feedback should be given in a positive and caring way that utilizes the core conditions of warmth, empathy, respect, unconditional positive regard, genuineness, accurate understanding, congruence, nonjudgmental. Challenges and confrontations can be given – if done so in a positive, gentle, and beneficial way. Sharing in this environment can be tremendously powerful in providing the supportive conditions needed for change.
