Homework

Here is the handout about homework that I provided on the first day of class. In this post, I will provide information about which articles and videos are appropriate for these 6 one-page papers.

I have a few specific articles that I can link you to (I will create a new post to share those with you), but you can also find articles on your own by going to the American Psychological Association web site, to “psychology topics”. Click on a subject that interests you—for example, ADHD. Scroll down the page past the first couple sections to the one labeled “News”.  Any of the news articles (on any of the psychology topics) is acceptable for your 10 point papers. Below the news links, there should be the heading “Monitor on Psychology Articles”.  Those are also acceptable for 10 point papers.

Here are some approved videos.
 

Videos

I will also go over this in class, but am providing the information online now for anyone who wishes to get started on these papers. I would recommend trying to submit one paper per week so that work doesn't pile up and become unmanageable, but there is some flexibility here. I do strongly urge you to submit your first paper as soon as you are able, so that I can make sure you are on the right track.
