Throughout the MA in Psychology program, you have created and sustained three journal themes: Personal Reflection Journal; TED-style Talk Journal; and The Capstone Project Journal. In this workshop, you will review and summarize your Personal Reflection Journal assignments from the previous nine courses and then summarize the key elements as you prepare to write about what you think the Good Life means to you, which will be due in a later workshop.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
• Review and summarize key findings from your Personal Reflection Journals.
• Synthesize core aspects of what the Good Life means to you.
Background Information
Your Personal Reflection Journals began in PSY-520 with an entry you titled - 6.5 Personality and Lifespan Development and then in PSY-525 with 1.4 Exploring Cultural Insights. In each successive course, PSY-530, (not 535), 540, and 545, you added to this personal reflection journal. In this assignment, you will review each of these entries, assure that you have all of them in one Word document, and then summarize your learnings as preparation for a synthesis paper on what The Good Life means to you in an upcoming workshop.
Instructions
1. Open your Personal Reflection Journal that you created in PSY-520 and that you have added to in five of the six core courses throughout the program. Review formatting for consistency, make sure that you have at least five entries from the foundational courses and then reflect on what you wrote. Get assignment help services from verified experts!
2. After reviewing and correcting any formatting issues, post your Personal Reflection Journal.
3. Watch the TED talk, What Makes a Good Life?(new tab)
4. Read the article, Good Genes(new tab).
5. In a two-page paper (which will eventually become a six to eight-page paper in Workshop 2), begin to write your final paper using this Good Life Synthesis Paper Outline(Word document). For this assignment, you only need to complete the third section of the attached outline: Reflect on and summarize major learnings from your "Personal Reflection Journal" (1-2 pages).
6. Summarize key lessons learned throughout the program as you reflect on your journal entries from the core and specialization courses. Look for themes related to what the Good Life means to you as this is the beginning of your synthesis paper on The Good Life that you will add to over the next few workshops.
7. Include a title page, a brief introduction, and the beginning of a reference page. Cite the sources provided above and others that you may refer to as you lay a foundation in this assignment for the synthesis paper.
8. You should have two separate documents posted in this Assignment by the end of the workshop: your Personal Reflection Journal from the previous courses and section three of your Synthesis Paper.
