EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY/WRITING ASSIGNMENTS
Extra Credit
Opportunity: Read the following article and discuss your ideas/feelings
about it. It can be used as up to 5 points extra credit on the final exam:
When God is your
Therapist: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/14/opinion/sunday/luhrmann-when-god-is-your-therapist.html?_r=0
Just a reminder that the remaining writing assignments are
due. Since this is the second assignment I
will be grading more strictly then the first!
Keep in mind the
following:
·
Follow all assignment directions
·
Make sure that you cite appropriately and use APA FORMAT- lack of citations can lead
to issues with plagiarism
·
APA format does not have to include all the “sections”-
this is only when you are conducting an experiment!
·
Absolutely no assignments are due after the due
date
Please see me if you have any questions.

EXAM REMINDERS
As you know, we are approaching mid-term exam time as they will be be beginning the week of 3/11/2013. A few reminders:
- 1st half written assignments are due as well. Please remember if you miss the deadline there are no late submissions. Review the specific assignment requirements for your class on the syllabus and make sure you follow them!
- We will be doing an in clss review. It is a great opportunity to ask questions and I always find the review goes better if you come to class with questions.
- Please make sure you bring a scantron and pencil to the exam.
- Please remember that once a student leaves the room after completing the exam it is closed and you cannot begin the exam after that point.
- You are allowed one makeup exam per semester and that exam will be given at the end of the semester after the final exam.
