Eyewitness Memory

TOP 5 Post-seminar assignment

(be aware this paper will be checked by Turnitin for plagiarism)

Identify the 5 most important things you learned in this seminar in your opinion. You get to define "important" here: this could mean important to you personally, important to the legal system, to researchers, etc. An "important thing" could for example be a concept, a theory, or a research finding.

Number your items starting from 1 and ending with 5. Try to (at least somewhat) rank order them so the most important is number 1, the second most important is number 2, and so on. If you find it hard to exactly rank order them, try to at least make sure that there's some order (for example, item 1 seems more important than item 5).

IMPORTANT:

· This assignment needs to be written entirely in your own words (paraphrased). Do not copy and paste the text from any sources

· Use academic terminology and show your learning. For each of the items, define and explain the relevant concepts, give specific examples, and explain why it is important in your opinion. Use full sentences. Each item must be at least 5 full sentences (or longer; there's no upper limit, but these don't have to be longer than that).

For example, this would NOT be enough:

1. The Guilty knowledge test and its challenges

2. The interesting eyewitness case in the video we watched

You'd need to be specific, explain what the findings were, what you found significant about them, and use terminology learned in the seminar or from other educated sources. The point of this assignment is for you to review the material and think about it in depth.

This assignment is not graded for "accuracy" (I'm not going to evaluate how important the items in my opinion are), but the items must include academic concepts/terminology and be related to the seminar content.

You don't need outside sources for this assignment, but if you do use sources that come from outside of the lecture and other seminar material, cite them in some format so that I can locate them (provide links for websites).

This assignment uses a plagiarism check program Simcheck/Turnitin to make sure that the responses are paraphrased (written in your own words).

There may be coincidental similarities and that's okay, but make sure that the sentence structure is formed by you. Do not use copy and paste at all.
