Student (and Instructor),
If you wish to pursue your own behavior modification project, correctly termed self-modification, please use the following worksheets. Next to each is an indication of which module you can review to better understand how to complete them. If you were developing a project for someone else, you can use the same sheets. Instead of referring to yourself, refer to the client.
Instructors, you can use these worksheets in your class if you wish your students to complete a self-modification project. More detailed instructions are in the Instructors Resources section as well as a schedule as to when they should be submitted.
