This hypertextual document will provide you with a variety of local and Internet course resources in an easily-accessible way. It should be used in preference to paper wherever possible. As you get comfortable with it, you might

• recall a set of lecture notes -- and a recording of the lecture -- from your dorm room at 3:00 AM
• engage in a discussion
  • ("Can some of Freud's theories be read as feminist texts?"
  • "Is genetic endowment the best predictor of success in the USA?")
  • with me and classmates on the class discussion group, the night before class
• read assigments onscreen, bookmark interesting sections, record your notes on your personal system, and even
• develop a Web presence of your own.

Please open this HyperSyllabus at least once before each class, click on unexplored links to the day's lecture topic, and read the relevant materials: links, articles and page references to books listed beside the day's date are required, those bulletted below it are suggested. I welcome your reactions and suggestions, which may be communicated to me verbally (it's still a good way to get to know people), posted to the class discussion group on Blackboard (see the "Students Guide to Blackboard Basics" for login instructions), or sent as electronic mail to ddavis@haverford.edu. The Web discussion will be used to answer questinos and to explore issues raised by the reading, and I will invite you to post two short writing assigments there. I plan in addition three quizzes to encourage you to keep up with the reading and lecture material. Lectures (available to the campus community) will be recorded and linked to this syllabus. The teaching assistants for this course, Emily Purchia (epurchia@haverford.edu) and Page Widick (pwidick@haverford.edu) will be hosting a weekly review and study group. This will usually occur Sunday evenings, 7-8 PM, in Sharpless 412. I urge you to attend this sessions, and to address questions about the reading and lectures to Page and Emily as well as to me. I will hold weekly office hours (annouced by email to the class), and I'm eager to meet with you at other times scheduled by email.

Participating in Psychological Experiments

Note that there is a Psychology Department policy concerning Participating in Psychological Experiments as part of each semester in Intro Psych. Credit for participation becomes part of the grade for the second half-semester course each term, i.e., Psychology 106h this semester. Please sign on to the Psychology Department's Experimetrix page to participate in these sponsored research projects. My colleagues' research assistants will sometimes appear in class to invite you to sign up for research pariticipation.
