DUE MONDAY, 16SEP19. Student Project: Today in the History of Psychology Students, like most of us, like to know about important events that occurred on their birthday; it personalizes those events. Ask students to visit the “Today in the History of Psychology” web page

http://todayinpsychologyhistory.pbworks.com/w/page/124833663/Today%20in%20the%20History%20of%20Psychology At the web page, they should enter the month and date of their birthday, then choose one of the events to investigate more thoroughly. Why was this an important event? What impact did it have on the field or discipline of psychology? Students can present what they learn in class, as a 5 w’s written paper, or as a verbal show of understanding with the instructor . GO TO THE NAVIGATOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND FIND YOUR MONTH, THEN DAY.
