Written Project #1: My SMART Goal Case Study in Psychology This semester I plan to perform a self-analysis on myself by making a SMART goal case study; where I plan to achieve one thing I would like to learn more about and change myself through using the help of developmental psychology. Throughout my years of growing up, all twenty of them, I have always heard so many old antics about how being left-handed was supposed to mean you were smarter, or that left-handed people always have ugly hand writing.

My case study will be to sit down every day consecutively and write an excerpt from an article, book, or play of some sort; not too long but somewhat lengthy so I can test my memorization skills which I will explain later. I will write the excerpt first with my right hand (my non-dominant hand) and record the length of time it takes to finish writing, the quality of the hand writing, how much of the excerpt I memorized just by writing, and my emotions during the whole process; then repeat the process with my left hand (so I have a consistent component to compare), in the end it I will
