1. Consider the relationship between body and mind.
   Among the psychologists we have studied, find one psychologist for each of the following positions:
1. Materialistic monist –the material people, their mind and its functioning is purely material
2. Interactionnist: body and mind are related and influencing each other.

Justify your choice with specific examples of this psychologist's work. (150 words)

2. Suppose you were offered a position as either Galton's, Wundt's or James' research assistant. Who would you prefer to work for?
   Explain your choice in some detail referring to the specifics of these psychologists' work. Be sure to explain why you choose one person over the others –what is different –what you find most interesting, what you would hope to learn. (300 words)
   
   
3. If we were to start a student club at Bethel named after one of the women psychologists we have studied, whose name should we choose and why? Consider who would be the most inspirational model for us –on the basis of her work and contributions to the field of psychology. Explain your choice in some detail (300 words). Then write a paragraph explaining the goals and aspirations of this club on the basis of your choice.
