This Alternative writing assignment on Freud’s theory is in 2-parts, it will be administered (a) before reading the ppr presentation lecture, and (b) after reading it.
PART ONE
For Part 1, you are to answer 5 questions about Freud using what you already know, based off of previous life experiences, high school classes, TV/movies, or other sources. Do not worry if you don’t know all of the answers – this is merely just to see how much you know right now, before reading the ppr. You do not need to do any internet or textbook research for this first part of the assignment.
In order to receive credit, your answer must demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the topic. Please make an effort to give your best guess for each question, even if you are unsure. This exercise is simply to compare what you knew before and after watching the lectures – this is the “before” segment!
Questions:
1.What do you now know about the id, ego, and super ego?
2.What do you now know about Freud’s idea of the unconscious?
3.What is meant by fixation?
4.What are defense mechanisms?
5.What do you think about Freud’s theory?
PART TWO
For Part 2, answer the same questions about Freud from earlier using what you now know from this unit’s lectures. These are the same questions as the pre-assignment to see what you learned from the lecture.
In order to receive Alternative Assignment credit for completing this assignment, your answer must show thoughtful consideration of the topic. Your response for each question should be about 2 or 3 sentences in length.
