Lifespan Development Project
A project where I complete my life-span theory exploration paper. I identify a theorist (Sigmund Freud), summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the biological perspective and provide an example of how this biological perspective applies to my lived experience. I identify a theorist (John Watson), summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the psychological perspective and provide an example of how this psychological perspective applies to my lived experience. I identify a theorist (Albert Bandura), summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the social perspective and provide an example of how this social perspective applies to my lived experience. I also describe why analyzing the lifespan from a combined biological, psychological, and social perspective is important.

Abnormal Psychology Activity
A journal activity where I focuse on the influence of language on shaping perceptions of human behavior. I describe how the words we use to discuss gender and sexuality shape our perception of what is considered normal or abnormal, the thoughts and feelings that I might experience during a conversation with family, friends, or colleagues who were inadvertently promoting stereotypes about gender/sexuality, and the language used within my own culture when discussing gender and sexuality,

Abnormal Psychology Activity
In this activity journal I focus on reconstructing my view of what it means to be abnormal. I discuss what it means to view our individual differences through a non-pathologizing lens, the costs and benefits of viewing psychological traits, symptoms, and conditions with a non-clinical view, and how an abnormal behavior that may be viewed as a deficit/weakness can be reframed and reapplied as a strength.

Lifespan Development Project
A project where I complete a case study analysis about a women named Jamie. I describe ways in which Piaget's and Vygotsky's research applies to Jamie's development, identify factors that could have influenced Jamie's physical, cognitive, and psychosocial well-being during the prenatal, birth, and early childhood stages of development, evaluate the sociocultural factors that could contribute to Jamie's maladaptive behavior, and explain the importance of considering physical, cognitive, and psychosocial factors in combination through the lifespan when evaluating an individual's well-being.

Abnormal Psychology Milestone
A milestone which focuses on desconstructing the stigma associated with abnormal behavior. I describe a common psychological reaction that a person might have after being described as weird, why witnessing an abnormal behavior may cause a person to experience psychological discomfort, the feelings a person may experience when witnessing a behavior that deviates from the norm, and how abnormalities in the mind are not really different from other physical or biological abnormalities.

Abnormal Psychology Milestone
In this milestone, I review the Pew Research article "Social Media and the Cost of Caring" and weight the costs and benefits of frequent exposure to social media. I describe the cost and benefit of frequent social media use, describe the link between our awareness of other people's stressful life events on social media and increases in our own stress using the research findings, describe how social media can promote the levels of education and awareness, and how I would use social media to enhance compassion and empathy.

A project where I create a blog post. I select three mental disorders (Post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, and social anxiety disorder) and identify and describe the main diagnostic features and consider the biomedical, clinical, historical, and sociocultural factors of each of the disorders selected. I then selected one of the disorders (Post-traumatic stress disorder) to consider the bidirectional relationship between the disorder and physical illness, describe how the words we use when discussing the disorder influence our willingness or ability to manage the disorder, and describe the small, but significant, changes in attitude/behavior we can make the could help us to manage the symptoms of the disorder.
