Pitzer College
Psychology 199
Seminar in child psychology:
Individual development and evolution
Fall, 2001
Here's only the most pertinent info--I'll discuss details
today in class.
Class will meet on Wednesdays from 2:45 - 5:30, in Broad
Center 207.
My OFFICE HOURS will be on:
Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.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.
The 3 books we'll be reading are:
Dawkins, R. (1990). The selfish gene, (2d ed.). New York: Oxford
University Press.
Gottlieb, G. (1992). Individual development and evolution. New York:
Oxford University Press.
Wilson, E. O. (1988). On human nature. Cambridge, MA: Harvard
University Press.
If you won't be able to buy the books, let me know--I can
attempt to ensure that they will be
available on reserve in Honnold Library. In addition to these books, we
will be reading the work of several other theorists. These Xeroxed
readings will be available for you to pick up (at cost) in Pitzer's
duplicating center in Bernard hall (copies will also be made available on
reserve in the Lucian Marquis Reading Room, by request).
Each week, each of you will be asked to
proffer at least one question that came to mind while you perused the
weekly readings
(see requirements for more information).
These questions should be submitted (each Monday, by noon) to the Psych
199 site (under "Classes") at Pitzer's
Web Crossing Conferencing Site, to help the student who will be
leading the discussion two days later prepare for the task.
