Top 25 Assignment

On Tuesday, you will get directions for your Top 25 Assignment, which is due on Monday, September 23rd The purpose of the exercise is to get you introduced to some of the "big names" in psychology that you will be learning about over the course of this year. Because of their notoriety, you will be able to find most of what you need to know about these individuals (which, is not much...just a brief summary of their biggest accomplishments) with a quick Google search. But, since Google doesn't always lead a person to credible, scholarly information, below I've provided examples of some links that you may find helpful.

• Alphabetical list of Famous Figures in Psychology.
• This online encyclopedia of psychology has a number of psychologist biographies. 
• Psychology Standard has a reference section with bios of some historically significant psychologists. 
• There are some more at AllPsych Online. 
• This timeline of significant events in the contemporary history of psychology includes many of your Top 25.

Admit that you could not be more stoked to learn about this stylin' crew.

Of course, given that you'll have a lot of time to be reviewing the photographs of this hip crew, we'll also be voting on Most Attractive Top 25 Psychologist on Friday. Choose carefully, as many of them have put a lot of thought into their outfits and accessories.
