AP Psych: Memory Project Options

Whittling your proposals down to seven was a challenging task, but I did it. Find them here.

When turning in your project, please identify yourself by your student ID number, not your name. Points will be taken off if you don't. I explained to you why I am looking for a certain level of anonymity. I understand that some of these projects require you to identify yourselves; still, I'd like your ID# to appear on the project when you turn it in on Monday, November 15th. These are all 75 point projects and appear on Term 2.

Kudos to 114323, 200010, 116656, 114331, 114250, 114416, and 114252. Your rubrics will be due on the 15th and I'll make sure you receive your peers' work the following day.
