I am working on grading, as well as preparing the final lecture for Human Growth and Development before next week's final exam--you know, picking out the really important material that shouldn't be left out of a course like this. And, of course, making sure that the final exam reflects that focus. (Note to my Intro students--you all did an outstanding job on the final exam, so no worries there!)
Anyway, while I was looking through the folders on my desktop, I came across some pages of "web resources" that I found on one of the textbook companion sites (instructor edition). Nothing here is required reading, but I thought it would be remiss to end the quarter without passing these along. You may wish to take a quick peek at the links and see if any of them might be useful to you at some point in the future...either professionally or personally...and bookmark those for later reading.
First and foremost--I promised a student that I would look into this, and then it slipped my mind. Better late than never, I hope...?
