Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Co-meets with PSYCH 4810.

Staff.

The focus is on discussion and critical analysis of selected articles from very recent issues of the best social psychological journals. Readings are chosen for their importance, their readability, and the likelihood that they will generate stimulating discussion. Students write brief “thought papers” before each class in which they offer suggestions for class discussion based on their close reading of the day’s assigned articles. They also write a term paper on a social psychological topic of their own choosing. No exams.
