| Required/Recommended Readings | Friedman, H. S., & Schustack, M. W. (2014). Personality: Classic theories and modern (5th Edition). Allyn and Bacon. |
| Teaching Methods | Students must do their reading questioningly, playfully, seriously, and diligently and come to class having read the material designated at the schedule of the classes by the day indicated to the left. To foster their readings, related web sites and visual materials will be shared through Blackboard. Group discussions and group projects will be assigned to foster group work and interaction, so that students will learn from each other. Application of theoretical information will be achieved through group projects and home works. Students also be able to present their work through presentations and be able to develop their teaching skills. |
| Homework and Projects | Group project- Theory application presentation
Please establish a group of 5 students and pick a theoretical approach (choosing from the many perspectives covered this semester). This presentation should be an application of this approach in explaining a person’s personality and associated processes, structures, and developmental contributing and causal factors from that approach’s viewpoint. For a case, please choose a character in a movie or in a book. Your task here is to work with your group members on a presentation to explain the case’s personality features based on the theoretical approach you choose at the beginning of the semester. The presentation will be 20-25 minutes long, with a discussion and quiz section at the end. Your presentation should contain some research evidence for your chosen approach (please a minimum of five references). Along with the preparation of the presentation (1. task), other tasks you have for this assignment are; you are to provide me first and after my approval the class with an empirical research paper on the effectiveness, usefulness, or validity of your chosen approach a week prior to your presentation (2. task) and e-mail me 5 quiz and/or short-essay questions about your presentation (3. Task). After your presentation of the case, you are to raise up at least three discussion questions (4. Task) which would help your classmates to engage with your presentation and at the end of the class hour, you are to hand out a quiz (5. Task) with the questions I chose from the 5 questions you wrote a week prior.
Details about the expected format and content of the presentation will be provided as a separate handout and will be posted on Blackboard.
Reflection Paper
Students are to write a 2-3-page paper answering the question:
1. Which theory do you think best explains your personality and why?
