Announcements

6/17/02 - Look under "grades" (above) for final grades, term paper grades and exam grades.

6/10/02 - If you turned in your term paper by May 24th, your grade is posted here and is also available outside my office door (331 Straub). Some important notes:
1. The 5 bonus points are not added to your paper grade, but are in a separate column. If you turned in an incomplete first draft (4 pages or less), you didn't get the bonus (the syllabus clearly states that sloppy first drafts will be downgraded).
2. Many of you who turned in papers on the 24th don't yet have editing grades, because the person whose paper you edited ended up not turning in his/her paper on the 24th.
3. If you turned a paper in on or before May 24th and you DON'T see your grade listed here, let me as soon as possible.

6/6/02 - Happy D-Day! Click here to see a summary of quiz, paper, edit, and presentation grades. If there is anything you think is in error, please let me as soon as possible (some of you may have turned in rough drafts that haven't yet been noted; I'll go through those this weekend).

6/3/02 - Click here for a review sheet for the exam.

5/22/02 - Someone asked if the class could see the points breakdown that will be used to grade the term papers -- click here to see them ("Save the World" first; then "Next Chapter").

The quiz on Wednesday will cover Chapter 7; Fein & Spencer; Word et al.; Shih et al.; MacRae et al.; and Phelps et al. (No class Monday because of Memorial Day.)

No office hours on Tuesday 5/29. :-(

5/13/02 - Here's a website to check out -- it will be particular relevant a week from now when we talk about automaticity and stereotypes: IAT web site

5/8/02 - The quiz on Monday (5/13) will cover Ch. 5, Ch. 6, Bushman et al., Baldwin et al., and Wilson et al.

5/6/02 - Lips vs Teeth? The teeth won (as Strack, Martin & Stepper would have predicted), 14 to 10.

4/24/02 - If you haven't been getting class emails. . . Your email address may be wrong in Blackboard. To check it/change it: Go to Blackboard (the web address is http://blackboard.uoregon.edu) If you don't already have an account, click on "create an account" and follow the directions. Once you have an account, click "Student Tools," then click on "Personal Information," then choose "Edit Personal Information," and change your e-mail info. NOTE: Make sure and proofread to be sure you typed it in correctly.
