The title says it all. You have covered a lot of ground this term and gained several tools for understanding personality in self and others. This is not a paper you write on a specific chapter, but rather your synthesis of the entire course. Bring together your thoughts on all we have studied and consider applications to our mission of social change.

Review Chapter 15 in your course text. Reflect on your coursework this term, considering your beliefs about personality and the self now that you have studied many theories and approaches to understanding them.
