Spring classes

They actually gave me 2 child psych courses.
1130 on MW and 1pm on MW

If you are a student that is taking me for the second time and wants to participate in the lab research for extra credit for the spring semester- we will be running subjects the last week of january,  right before the semester begins (to get it out of the way and bank some credit before the semester even begins).
email if interested.

INTRO - Exam Prep

When using this study guide- If it says something like "know all parts" or "etc" that means that if there are 5 slides regarding that topic- know them.  Don't just know really basic parts of these concepts- study them in depth.

Know these well:

LTM- all types of this

recognition and recall

Intelligence:

The 5 paragraph composition is due on thursday as well- I will NOT take them late.  So if you blow it off- don't expect a good exam grade.

The comp is on attachment- there is info in the slides and we went over it in class- if you do not have those class notes get them from someone, if you don't, then you will not be able to do this essay well.
