Careers/Societies/Divisions in Psychology Project
PSYC 105: Introduction to Psychology
What am I doing?
You will create a 7-10 slide presentation describing a career in psychology or psychological association/ society/division.
Why am I doing this?
As this class is an introduction to the discipline of psychology, the student will be introduced to theories, concepts, people, and new research directions in psychology. In short, you will learn what we have done so far, what we are doing now, and where we are going in the future. Equally important, you should learn who we are and what we do, the ‘we’ of course meaning psychologists. Despite the stereotypes, all psychologists do not sit back taking notes and offering advice to people. If fact, only about half of all psychologists do this. So what is the other half doing? You’re about to find out.

The internet is your primary resource for this assignment. There is no need for a great deal of detail. Just cover the basics. I am not looking for quantity, but quality.
