ATTENDANCE COUNTS FOR 10% OF YOUR GRADE

Every class that you miss past 4 absences- takes off 1 point from your FINAL grade. So for some students- you have already missed 3-4 classes and there have only been 5 meetings total.

If you are one of those students please come to my office hours on 9/29 or 10/1 from 530-6pm in Nam 600 to discuss this matter.

SOCIAL Psych

There was an issue with the exam on blackboard including questions from a different chapter, I have fixed it.  For those of you that already took it, your grades have been re-scored so it's reflective of only the chapters you were supposed to study.

I also weighted the grades in blackboard.  This doesn't yet include your attendance and participation points so whatever grade is there will likely go up if you haven't missed more than 2 classes.

We'll talk more about it on thursday.

Fall Classes

This is what I'm teaching in the fall:

2301 D866 TTh 230-345

Child psych students

the quiz for chapter 2 &3 is up on blackboard

Multiple attempts are ok, and it's untimed.  you can use the book, notes, google, etc.

This is the trial for the actual test to make sure blackboard will work for you.

WE NEED RESEARCH ASSISTANTS

Hi students-

If you are interested in becoming a research assistant, we could use a couple more on the project I spoke about in class.  It's a great resume builder, and can really help you if you applying to science heavy programs, graduate school and for a bunch of other academic endeavors as well.

if you are interested please email me.

CHILD PSYCH

Next week we are going over Chapter 5.

Here is a youtube video that should help you with some of the examples in the slides.



Also some students were asking for a PDF of the slides, I have some of them done, so just email me and ill send them to you if you need them.

SOCIAL PSYCH- Article

This article on white privilege was one of the first written by a white person, and it was groundbreaking at the time (1988-ish).   I'm assigning it to you for reading so that we can discuss it next session (it's only a few pages so it shouldn't be too much).  The issue of white privilege is a topic that many people tend to gloss over because it's uncomfortable- and this article does a great job examining that (Peggy McIntoch, the author, is/was the director of feminist/women's studies at her university, so she comes at the issue comparing it to male privileged).


here's the PDF
