Here's only the most pertinent info--I'll discuss details today in class.

Class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 p.m. - 1:10 p.m
All class meetings will be held in Fletcher Hall 112.

My OFFICE HOURS will be on:

Tuesdays: 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m
Wednesdays: 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

If I need to change these as the semester's schedule becomes clearer, I'll obviously let you know.  Also, if by any bizarre twist of events this turns out not to be enough, I'll certainly arrange for others.  In addition, I'm free to be scheduled -- in fact, I'd actually prefer it if you'd make an appointment with me if you'd like to talk. Under any circumstances, I'll be in my office or lab lots, so you can just drop on in. If you want to ask me something, come see me, don't just send me an email. I'm unlikely to respond to an email from someone I've not yet met in person.

The TEXTBOOK we'll be reading is:

Lightfoot, C., Cole, M., and Cole, S.R. (2009).  The development of children, (6th ed.).  New York: Worth Publishers.

A note about requirements related to experiential learning:

In addition to standard tests and papers, everyone in Psych 105 this semester will be expected to participate in the experiential learning part of the course. This year, this part will involve an internship arranged through The Community Engagement Center (CEC) or The Claremont After- School Program (CLASP). During the first week of class, you will be given information about how this part of the course will work. You will then be expected to work in one of these community sites, helping out. Ordinarily, "interns" are expected to show up for a couple of hours each week and  see firsthand how real live children work (or fail to work). I guarantee that this will be a memorable and valuable learning experience for everyone (and at the same time, you'll be doing a very good deed).
