Abnormal Psychology Learning Tutorials
Goal: You are to create a learning tutorial about a specific psychological disorder (it will be assigned)
using Microsoft Word. Each group will consist of two students and each student will research one
subcategory of a psychological disorder and both group members will combine your completed research
to create one tutorial. Your tutorial will be for other students in the class to read and learn about your
assigned disorder. After researching your disorder all of your information needs to be put in your own
words! It will be submitted to TURNITIN.COM. The tutorial should take 25-30 minutes for the average
student to complete.
