Session 5 Final Presentation

In this final assignment, you will develop your worldview of Transformational Psychology (build upon the outline developed in Session 4). Connect to the fruit of the Spirit as well as any other pertinent self-assessments performed in this class, and integrate any notable information that helps you assemble your worldview of Transformational Psychology. Make appropriate connections to your personal and professional life (through your behaviors, experiences, and relationships).

This assignment is indicative of experiential learning as outlined in Kolb’s Learning Model in Session One.
