Reflection Journals: The subject matter of this course – abnormal psychology – is something that all students are familiar with both through observation and their own personal experiences. This course should be more meaningful if students can relate what they learn to their own experiences and observations of other people. To help students do this, they will submit journal entries in which they discuss issues pertaining to abnormal psychology in their own lives or the lives of others, related to the readings and lecture material. These entries will comprise 15% of the final grade,  200 words long The entries should reflect thoughts concerning abnormal psychology within the student’s life or in the media. The entries need to directly tie information from the incident or event to material we have discussed in class for that section of material. Topics for each journal entry are found below: • Journal 1 – Looking at Abnormality •
