  1. You've got to check out this link (cool and with embedded video) on Milgram.  We'll be starting with that content, after tackling fundamentals.  Wouldn't it be cool if 10 page reading were condensed into a 10 minute video.  
  2. Zimbardo has a lecture on video but it is 1 1/2 hr.  
  3. and this (quote taken from top 10 psychological videos online) That site has some amazing stuff on really interesting topics.  But this quote ought interest somebody. What does this mean for teaching and learning?

Teen Brain. The brain continues developing until about age 25. The prefrontal cortex is involved in impulse control and judgement, and is among the last areas to develop. This award-winning episode of Catalyst is about neuroethics, questions of brain and behavior. It looks at moral and legal culpability between ages 18-25 and proposes new ideas. (00:12:23)

What you need to know - basics

 

Your text - you should have the Lundsford pocket reference.  You'll be expected to use MLA and turn in polished/ considered prose on several occasions.  You should also have the book:

 

Behrens, Laurence, and Rosen, Leonard J. Writing and Reading

     Across the Curriculum. 10th. New York: Longman, 2008.

     Print.

 

NOTE: the above isn't in proper MLA form.  Somebody please fix MLA for us, because  it's an object lesson, relevant to our objectives, and a chance for cool points.  It's not because I'm feeling lazy; but what if I were? Cool points are cool points. 

Note: Hope I fixed it correctly - Royce - (thanks Royce)

 

This is the catalogue description.
