LAST EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY!

One of the goals of all of the courses is for people to better understand the world around them. Issues related to the field of Psychology often are reflected in the issues of the world around us. The following three artiles were published this week in the New York Times:

 I am offering the following extra credit based on these articles:

Psy 201: Must do the extra credit on the Neuroscience Under Attack article

All Other classes: Choose whichever article you are interested in

The extra credit is worth up to 7 points on your lowest grade. For the assignment, summarize the article and include a response (your opinion) in it. If you could talk about how the article links to what you have learned that will increase your chances of receiving full credit.
