| Homework and Projects | Students will be asked to work on articles as a group work and they will find a discussion question in the discussion sessions of the course based on the assigned required reading of an article published in Psychological Science. They will be asked to read the articles and prepare discussion questions prior to the discussion class.before |
| Laboratory Work | None |
| Computer Use | None |
| Other Activities | Students will be asked to read each week’s book chapter and article prior to that week’s classroom session. Classroom discussions will be based on these readings as well as various videos. |
