Reading for PSYC102<\/strong><\/p>\n

You must read the assigned textbook chapters to succeed in this course! The material you read will overlap with the material presented in class, but it is not a 1:1 relationship. Our in-class lectures will include helpful demonstrations, exercises, and peer interaction to supplement or help explain concepts from the readings. To maximize this course structure, students must read text chapters and attend class. We strongly suggest that you read each assigned Chapter\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0the corresponding lecture<\/strong> so that you know what parts your are unsure about, and what you’d like to ask questions about to clarify. This will help everyone! Use the guiding questions at the end of each chapter and Active Reading Tips<\/a> as a source for class preparation.<\/p>\n
