Discussion Articles

The articles listed in the syllabus are to be read, in there entirety, before their Discussion Date (see 'Course Outline & Tentative Schedule'). All of the articles can be acquired for free from either the Internet, WMU's Waldo Library, or JSTOR (see 'To find JSTOR' in the syllabus). This delivery method allows the students the opportunity to learn how to use these different research mediums and decrease the student's textbook expenses. The only way you can read the articles from JSTOR and the handouts posted on my site, including the syllabus, is with Adobe's "Acrobat Reader," not MS Word. In other words, you must have Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. If you do not have this free program, you can either go to Adobe's site and follow the series of links that state "Get Acrobat Reader for Free" or visit WMU's Computer Help Desk and pick-up 'Web Kit 6.' This free CD for WMU students contains a copy of "Acrobat Reader." If you would like to read the installation instructions before beginning this operation, visit www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/8c3a.htm for more information.

Please note, the articles listed below reside on another site. If, however, you cannot view the articles from the net, it is your responsibility to retrieve the information from the library. Remember, all reading assignments must be read, in there entirety, before the beginning of class.

A - Sex Differences in the Brain
    Mirror A

B - What is McDonaldization?
    Mirror B

C - If Hitler asked you to Electrocute a Stranger would you?
    Mirror C

For those of you who are technologically challenged, all of the articles, including the syllabus, will be bound and placed on 2-hour reserve at Waldo library by the end of the first week of semester. In other words, they cannot be checked out of the library. However, the time allotted is more than sufficient to check out, copy, and return the blue course pack. The course pack call number is TBA.

 

  Study Guides

All the study guides for each exam will be available at least a week before the examination. When you click on one of the study guides, a study guide window will open. To return to this page, just close the study guide window. If you plan to print the study guides off from the net, instead of saving them to a disk and printing them through your favorite word processor, make sure you set your browser's print margins to 1/2 an inch on all 4 sides. Failure to set your margins will cause the browser to chop off some of the questions and/or answers.
