I'll just make one comment on Mike's first point and (perhaps) later see if I

Hi,
It is not a problem with these cities and countries and so on. I made a
remark about my country and the capital of Hungary. You do not need to
apologize for this! In fact we do not need to know all the countries of this
world . For me it is normal to think that everyone knows my countr

Hi Everyone,
About a week ago, I posted asking for help to compile a list of
places to publish about the teaching of psychology. Many of you sent
individual e-mails or posted. I was expecting it to be a struggle to
find even a few. But it turns out there are at least 207! Here is a

Thanks for your quick reply! Do you use a text particularly geared towards a one-semester course? I can't imagine our students tackling our 16-chapter 700 page-plus Weiten & McCann text in 13 weeks (39 hours).

I am NOT a fan of encyclopedic texts for an intro course. First of all, as a
memory researcher I KNOW that the students will remember very little if you
overwhelm them with information. Secondly, they don't have the expertise to
know what is a core bit if knowledge and what is an illustration or
I used to use Mynatt & Doherty, but it's going the way of the dodo. I
think most places like the glossy, 700-page tomes. Mynatt & Doherty was

We offer both a BA and BS, but the origins are not in anything
principled: we offer the BS because they (at one time, before I got
