1. Each group will create a collaboratively constructed Collage related to current developments in Humanistic-Existantial-Transpersonal Psychology. (Use butcher paper or multiple sheets of poster board or easel paper, so that it can be seen across the room.) The Collage should highlight issues of interest to the group. Depth of focus and originality of design will be important.

2. Present the Collage to the class, along with a 20 minute discussion relating perspectives your group has studied in the history of modern psychology to a major issues or problem of interest to your group. The discussion should show evidence of research and thoughtful preparation.

 

3. Each group will submit an Annotated Bibliography covering the research carried out for the project.

 

The collage and oral report will be graded as a group and will be worth 15 per cent of the final letter grade.
