For your Project, you will create a website that showcases the skills you have gained throughout your psychology program. Your website will consist of the following elements: a homepage, a literature review, expert opinions, résumés, a case study, and a list of pertinent websites. Each of these sections will be its own tab on the website. When complete, you may choose to use this website after graduation as a means to showcase your abilities to potential employers and/or graduate schools.
It is highly recommended that you complete any and all written work in a separate document first and then cut and paste the required content into your webpage. This will allow you to edit and save your work separate from the website, should anything occur which causes the website to fail. Additionally, you will be able to work on your content without having to remain connected to the internet and it may be easier to develop and edit your content in Word, prior to publishing it on your website.
Creating the Website:
The website:
- Must be named with the following convention: your last name + PSY496 Final Project. Example: Smith PSY496 Final Project.
- Must include six tabs with the following headings and information. Watch the screencast video below to assist you with setting up your required tabs.
Home Page:
Briefly introduce yourself and provide information regarding your professional background. Summarize your experiences within the Psychology program at Ashford University and what you hope to do upon graduation. You may include a professional photograph as well.
Literature Review:
Create a brief literature review that presents a fair and comprehensive analysis of relevant literature pertaining to the topic you chose in Week One. This page must include the following:
A brief introduction of the topic and its relevance (300 to 500 words).
Three to five peer-reviewed articles based on applied psychological research. Each of the articles must directly relate to your chosen topic.
A one- to two-paragraph (500 to 750 words total) analysis and summary for each article.
