Weekly Report 12


This week, we continued to evaluate the videos of one another’s speeches.  By leaving constructive criticism for each other, we hoped to find specific ways to improve our speaking.  In class, I also compiled a list of people to invite to the Independent Study and Mentorship program’s winter research showcase, and obtained the appropriate number of invitations. At showcase, all the ISM students in the district will set up display boards with information pertaining to their fields of study.  Each student must be prepared to answer questions from friends, family members, teachers, and other attendees about his or her topic. Our portfolios will also be on display during showcase in order to allow guests to see all the research that we have conducted so far this school year.

I also completed another research assessment after reading an article that explained the benefits and drawbacks to different types of therapy.  In psychology, different methods of treatment are available, and knowing about various types of treatment allows a psychologist to more accurately determine which treatment is best in each specific case. In the coming week, I look forward to conducting additional research interviews and looking into more specific treatment plans and strategies.
