Option 1: Attend a psychology related talk at a local University

• Which talk did you attend?
• Why did you select this talk and what did you know about the topic before you
• attended the talk?
• What are at least three things you learned from the talk?
• Did the talk inspire you to learn more about the topic? Why or why not?
• How do you think what you learned from the talk could be helpful for you in the future?

Please also provide a list of references used in your paper. See below for a formatting example of a talk. Please submit your answers in the assignment on Canvas by the deadline noted on the syllabus.
