Tips for students:

Ask yourself:

Is this claim backed by research or personal experience?

You can critique respectfully

evaluation does not mean finding faults only

Use psychology terms from the textbook

4. Focused Inquiry and Active Viewing (

2

50 words)

This section is designed to show that you watched the TED Talk carefully and actively, not

passively. Rather than summarizing the entire talk, you will zoom in on

specific moments

that

were especially meaningful, confusing, or thought

–

provoking.

Identify three time

–

stamped moments

from the talk (include the exact minutes and

seconds, such as

4:32

). Choose moments where the speaker introduces an important idea,

presents evidence, or makes a claim related to psychology.

Include one short direct quote

(5

20 words) from each moment. Use quotes

selectively

only when the speakers wording is especially important.

Explain why each moment mattered.

Describe what the speaker was claiming and how

it connects to psychological concepts, evidence, or themes discussed in the course.

End with one remaining question

you still have after watching the talk and

one

psychological concept

you would like to explore further through research.

Tips for students:

Choose moments that clearly illustrate psychological concepts

Quotes should be short and purposeful

Your remaining question should show curiosity, not confusion
