 * Welcome to the project wiki for the AP Psychology class at Hillcrest High School. The intent of our wiki is to provide an online collaborative site that enables extended discussion of our classroom topics and also provides review for the Advanced Placement Psychology test.

Project Instructions:** The class will be divided into seven groups – one for each perspective studied. The perspectives are: · The Biological Perspective · The Psychodynamic Perspective · The Behavioral Perspective · The Humanistic Perspective · The Cognitive Perspective · The Cross-Cultural Perspective · The Evolutionary Perspective

Each group will be responsible for: · Designing a web page on the wiki for their perspective that identifies the theory that defines the perspective and illustrates it creatively. · Researching and describing the major psychologists and their theories that correspond with the perspective. (Provide a photo and description of the theory) · Describing how their perspective looks at mental illness and describe the treatment recommended for the most common mental illnesses. · Presenting their page to the class.

This assignment will be worth 75 points. Your instructor will be utilizing this rubric to assess your work.
