As has already been mentioned...just a fair review of the project, design, controls, etc. Try to emphasize a good review of the literature and exploring alternative ideas. It would be cool to have several copies of the paperback "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology" by Scott Lilienfeld et al to give to some of the teachers or students interested in Psych. This myth is discussed on pp. 92-96.
