TRE3 Topics
The textbook chapter material is written to give a
general description of concepts and topics focusing on understanding stress and
stress management. You will be required to research as many of following
topics as you can. You may skip some topics to include others, but identify
them by number and in order for the final draft. Staple the topics in order and
attach a copy of the "Textbook Research & Essays Grading Sheet" to
the front of the "packet."
Topics
For each topic, find a published source (each
topic must have a different source) that will define and explain the topic differently
and in greater detail than the textbook explanation. Do not use
abstracts, but parts of the entire text.

library journals, or the internet . DO NOT USE DICTIONARIES, ENCYCLOPEDIAS, OR
LECTURE NOTES from any course.
