FINAL REFLECTION: DUE 5/22/15
Hi All-
Thank you for a great semester. For your final reflection (which is a percentage of your overall participation grade and worth 2 points, instead of 1) please answer the following three questions below.
Have a great summer! It was a pleasure getting to know each of you and achieve our course objectives!
1) What would you say to someone taking this course next year? What tips or advice would you give them?
2) How might this class have informed your future work as a student, professional, and/or community citizen? What lessons stood out the most and will be carried with you going forward?
3) Last but not least (2-part question), now that you’ve learned about what a health psychologist is, I want you to describe whether or not you’d make a good health psychologist. AND I would like you to describe if you would make a good patient. Based on what was covered in class would you make a good health psychologists and a compliant patient?
Thanks again for a GREAT semester. Have a FUN and SAFE break.
