Description:

The module is about studying of personality from various perspectives.

Readings consist of weekly readings from the assigned textbooks. The workload for the readings are quite manageable but may need more thorough elaboration since it's quite abstract. Application skills in relating the content to personality is important.

Lecture content are mostly found in textbook, but it provides a good summary of the content.

Tutorials consist of group discussion and for the later part of the semester, group presentations.

Group presentation will be done in groups of 3 or 4. You will be required to analyse the personality of a famous figure from the various perspectives. No written reports required.

For the exams, it is better to understand the theories more than memorising, which applies only for important terms. Short-answer questions will require you to remember the concepts and apply the perspectives to real-life.
