Portfolio Instructions:
Each week, you will submit a portfolio based on the content of the lecture and text book reading.
Portfolios include two parts:
1. A media clipping from a popular media source that illustrates a striking concept of your choice from the chapter and/or lecture for that week.
2. Using course material (text book readings and/or lecture), write a brief explanation of how that media clipping demonstrates the concept you chose. Your explanation should include a brief definition of the concept of choice, as well as a few sentences connecting the concept to your media example.
For e.g., the first chapter introduces and distinguishes the concepts of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. If I were to submit a portfolio entry, I would look for an article of our President playing on the stereotypes of some immigrant group, and then relate that to how stereotypes are perpetuated in the society.
Your media sources can be newspaper articles, editorials, advertisements, advice columns, magazine articles (NOT Psychology Today, WebMD, or any other educational website or magazine), TV shows, movies, cartoons, or comics, but you may NOT use scholarly articles or your text book. Actively search the popular media for these examples, rather than just Googling them and selecting the first picture you find – this is not acceptable!
For each entry, copy and paste the picture/cartoon/ad/editorial/article etc., as well as the full APA reference, into a Word document, then write a short paragraph underneath that explains how the media entry connects with the chapter/lecture material. If you are using a video, make sure that you have an image of the video, or a video still included in the Word doc (take a screen shot of the video if necessary by pressing PrtScn on your keyboard and then Paste into a Word document). If you just include a link to the video, points will be deducted.
Each entry will be graded on the acceptability of the media entry as it represents the textbook concept (left to the discretion of the professor), and the clarity of the connection made between the media clipping and the textbook concept.
Chapter 8 covers the issue of weightism – the biases, stereotypes and acts of discrimination that occur against overweight or obese individuals in our thin-obsessed, Hollywood-approved-only body type society.

Exam Content Question While the DSM-5 is considered a reputable standard for determining psychopathology, it has been criticized by some professionals in the behavioral health fields. As you study psychopathology, it is important for you to understand the varied viewpoints regarding this diagnostic tool and to be able to critique and evaluate its relevance.

The Interview Activity/Paper is for each student to interview a child about a recent event that the child experienced and to try to elicit as much information as you can from the child about that event. Each student will present her/his experience by submitting a three-five paper outlining the experience.
Here are some guidelines.
1. You must interview a child under the age of 15. I recommend not interviewing a child under five because, as you all know, children under five are extremely difficult to interview. In all cases, please obtain the permission of the child’s caregiver before the interview.
2. You must interview the child about a recent, innocuous or pleasant event that the child experienced, such as going to a birthday party, participating in a sporting event or studying for a test.
3. Knowing what you know from the Modules, do your best to emulate an interview protocol. By that, I mean build rapport; gain some background information about the child/family; find out about the event by eliciting as many details as you can about the event and then bring the interview to respectful closure. Please remember to refer to the Best Practices paper from the Forensic Interview Protocols Module for assistance. Keep in mind that you should do your best to ask non-leading, non-suggestive questions and try to allow the child to exercise free-recall memory to the best of her ability.
4. Document your interview in an approximately three-page paper. Document some of the specific questions you asked and the specific answers the child responded with, however, please do not submit a full transcriipt and expect this to be the contents of the paper.

I will give you link for textbook so you can read chapter and answers questions in photo based off the chapter and instructs.
