Homework Assignments for Psyc 294, Spring 2005

Walter vom Saal

updated 4/5/05

From time to time I will list homework assignments that were given in class.  I may not always do this.  Some assignments will be given in class but NOT listed here, so you cannot be sure there was no assignment just because it was not listed here.  If you are unsure, call your classmate/partner.

Sometimes I will post an assignment here before it is discussed in class. Generally I recommend that you do NOT start an assignment before it has been discussed in class, since I may make changes in an assignment when it is announced and described in class.

- This list does not include reading assignments.

- Assignments are listed in the order given.

- More details for certain assignments are available by clicking the appropriate links in the left column below.

General notes on homework assignments:

- Please print all assignments.  If this is a problem for you, please talk with me.

- When minimum and maximum numbers of pages are given, this refers to printed pages with spacing set to 1-1/2, and standard margins.  I use Times New Roman 12-point font.  You are not required to use this font, but please do use spacing set to 1-1/2 if possible.  

- All homework should have proper headings. See the course syllabus for details.  Multiple pages should be stapled (not paper-clipped).

Write up a one- or two-page resume using the guidelines presented in class. If you are not graduating soon, also write up a resume as you think (or reasonably hope) it might look at the beginning of the last semester prior to graduation. (You also could write a resume as it looks now, with just a couple of bracketed items you expect/hope to add before graduation.)

Bring THREE copies of your resume or resumes with you to class to be critiqued by other class members.
