PSY 223 Syllabus

Lecture Notes

Lecture notes will be posted a few days before each lecture. Bring these notes to class because we will cover material very quickly during the summer. Not all material covered in class is provided on the lecture notes. Thus, in order to do well in the course, you must come to class so that you can take additional notes (e.g., examples, in-class activities, etc.) during the lecture.
