Late Breaking News

  • Tues Dec 12, 10:15 pm: In my posting of Tues Nov 28 (see below), I listed three areas that would be covered on the MT3 Short Answer section. In addition, there may be a question from the two films on psychotherapy. The relevant material would be taken from the Handout on Films on Psychotherapy.

  • Tues Dec 12, 9:45 pm: The mp3 files for the answers to the Review questions are here:

    Sorry--there seems to be some buzzing in the background!!

  • Sun Dec 3: I have final details on the location of the final exam. Unfortunately, we will have to change the location of the final exam. It will still be held on Saturday, December 16, 7:30-10:00 pm, but it will NOT be in the PAC. Instead, we will be in 6 rooms. Here is the assignment of rooms by the first letter of your last name:

    I'm very sorry about this change. The Registrar moved my section out of the PAC for the first time in about 15 years.

  • Tues, Nov 28: To clarify what will be covered on MT3 Short Answer Questions, here is the list:

    1. Questions 11-40 on research methodology

    2. Questions 218-265 on material since Midterm 2, EXCEPT FOR THESE:
      • 218, 219, 220, 221, 235 (the second part about LTM; the first part WILL be covered), 238, 239, 244, 245, 252, 253, 254, 265--THESE WILL NOT BE COVERED
    3. Questions from the Lecture Notes on Errors and Biases in Reasoning (266-282, as indicated on page 3 of the review questions handout and as I stated at least twice during the last 4 lectures of the term). Note: the reason why I didn't go over the answers for all of those questions on errors and biases is because all of the answers are to be found in written form in the lecture notes. Any questions that appear on MT3 from these lecture notes will NOT be very complex.

  • Tues, Nov 28: : The answers to the review questions for the required MT3 will be posted in the form of mp3 files by Tues., Dec 12.

    Information about the Final Exam

    1. The final examination will be held on Saturday, December 16, 7:30-10 p.m. PLEASE NOTE: THIS MAY BE DIFFERENT. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES. Update is above: the final will be held at the same time, but the location is different. Instead of the PAC, it will be held in 6 rooms. See the above details.

    2. Additional information regarding the following topics can be found in the Information About the Final Examination and Review Questions handout:

      • The three sections of the final exam: Midterm #3 (required) + Second Chance Midterm #1 and Midterm #2 (optional)

      • Averaging procedure if you decide to do one of the second chance midterms.

      • Change in the weights of the components of the course

      • Review questions (along with which review questions are relevant to Midterm #3)

    3. Please bring a Number 2 (HB) pencil to the midterm. You will answer the multiple choice questions on Scantron sheets.

    4. If you have questions that are not answered by the answers to the review questions that I will be providing, you may call me on the Psychology 101 Hot Line. The times for the hot line will be Friday, December 15, 9:30-10:30 p.m.

    5. There will, of course, be a number of review questions from the final set of review questions (Information about the final examination and review questions) that will NOT be covered on the Midterm #3 (in addition to the questions already starred, which meant that those questions would not be covered): Those will be identified at the Review Session and will also appear on the Final Exam/MT3 Review Questions. SO PLEASE CHECK THAT WEBPAGE FOR UPDATES.

    6. In the past two weeks, we distributed Lecture Outline 11 on Errors and Biases in Reasoning. We also distributed the Lecture on Errors and Biases in Reasoning. You will be responsible for material in that lecture.
