Report on Progressive Depressive Disorder
You can turn in brief reports on psychology from newspapers or magazines. Your report should be about a half a page to a page long and should summarize the findings as well as include a critique about the report or a question about the research that is not included in the report. You also need to turn in a copy of the article.

BLOGS (even those of newspapers) DO NOT COUNT
