CAMP 3 – Applying Learning
General instructions: Often when students take classes, they do not think about how a class applies to their program of study (Psychology) or their future career. This CAMP is designed to have you consider how this class will help you develop skills that you will need for your major and for your career. Then you will look at other classes you have completed in your major.
To Complete this CAMP, you will want to use APA (n.d.) document on transferable skills https://www.apa.org/education-career/guide/transfe...
