1) If anyone needs to makeup either Quiz 3 or 4, please make sure you do so by Thursday, December 8th.

2) If anyone needs to makeup a mid-term, please see me to schedule it now. Failure to do so will result in an 0 being assigned for that grade.

3) If for any reason, you are unable to take the final, please contact me and we can discuss the possibility of an INC. If you do not make contact with me by the time the class grades are entered into the system, a 0 will be assigned as the final grades.


FINAL EXAMS FOR BOTH PSY 101 AND PSY 215 WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15TH, 2016.

Psychology 101: The Cerebral Cortex (slides 30-38, Biological basis of behavior)- make sure you know which function, or sense, each is associated with and the anatomy of the lobes. \

Psychology 215: Rape and Sexual Dysfunctions (slides 22-31)
