The Media Project: Enhancing Student Interest in the Psychology of Adolescence.

Ward, Thomas B.

Teaching of Psychology, v12 n2 p87-89 Apr 1985

One difficulty in teaching service courses such as psychology of adolescence is maintaining the interest of nonmajors without sacrificing course-relevant content. Described is a project that overcomes this problem by requiring students to observe some type of media (e.g., television) and determine the extent to which particular themes occur. (Author/RM)
