Extra Credit

First Quarter:

Please follow directions carefully.  If directions are not followed, extra credit will NOT be awarded.

Extra credit is due via e-mail attachment to nniland@nniland.com [Word documents only - if you need help ask before the deadline!!] by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2009.  The extra credit will be added onto the one or two worst assignments [critique or test grade].

Proceed to one of my two favorite sites, the Society for Neuroscience or Psychology Matters .  Choose up to two short articles.  For each of the article (s) create a mini-critique [answer the four usual questions: summary, evaluation of science, personal response, and importance to the field of psychology].  This should be no longer than a page (I will stop reading after the first page).
