Final Exam
Psychology 458
Tuesday, May 17, 2007
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
1. Describe five (5) theories/concepts you have learned this semester that are important to you and will be personally useful for you in the future. These are theories and concepts you would like to take with you from this course.
  a. Describe each theory/concept. Describe how each theory works. Describe its components. The description must be thorough. It may strengthen your case if you can say something about its research support, implications, and/or predictions.
  b. Tell why each theory/concept will be personally useful for you in the future.
2. The exam is closed book. Write two pages per question.
3. Grading will be based upon how thorough and convincing you are. Elaboration of theories may count more than concepts because there is often more to understand and master. Concepts are acceptable, but often with concepts there is less you can say. Theories and concepts that have a broad sweep (broad application to many situations) will count more than more narrowly applicable theories and concepts.
