PSY 201: Getting to Know UD Psych Profs
Psychology Fields and Research: Get to Know your UD Psych Faculty
Each student has been paired with a member of the psychology faculty here at UD.
The assignment is to report what subfield of psychology your assigned professor represents and to briefly summarize their expertise. Using Google Scholar or other database (e.g., Psych Info, PubMed) to find publications by the faculty member you are assigned. This could be research that was done here at UD, or previous work done by the faculty member while at another university. It can be recent research, or an article done many years ago. You are not to contact the professor directly to find this information, as this is also a challenge for you to engage with the literature on your own.
Please bring the assignment, typed; 12pt Times New Roman, to class on Friday, October 26. Print and staple the full article to the assignment. I expect the article summary to be at least two paragraphs long and the total assignment will be about 2 pages. You do need to use APA style to cite the article you are summarizing. Do not quote the article directly, but put in your own words. This assignment is worth 10 points (10% of your course grade) so please do your best work.
Organize your responses as follows:
Name
Class
Professor:
Area of psychology/training:
General research interests:
Published article (use APA style reference here):
