A criticism of Simon Levay is that he may be biased re the genetic basis of
gay behavior because he is gay himself.And that his pronouncement of

If you could provide us with any references for this research on
effectiveness of ebooks, it would be very helpful as many of us are
considering the ebook option. Your comments about inferior learning make

Well, to fall back on a little linguistic determinism: look at how you spoke

Geez, I was just thinking the opposite. $65 is HALF the price of a real text.
I'm intrigued by your other comments though. Have to give this some thought.

$65 for an ebook! Horrible. I'm doing a study a right now (in fact I have a
subject right now reading an ebook as I type this). The lit review for the
introduction to my study shows that reading ebooks results in inferior learning
and comprehension :( :( :(
It costs the company a tiny fraction

The Levay-Baldwin book is excellent, but it's a book about sexuality, not
love. Elaine Hatfield & Richard Rapson have a nice softcover book about
love and sex in cross-cultural perspective that could be used to supplement
the Levay-Baldwin book. The only thing really missing from it are the ne

Although I agree with your sentiment, should we require them to eat
vegetables and read the newspaper too? For extra credit?

I think students ask for extra credit, make up exams, etc. primarily for two
reasons: 1) They are used to getting such things in high school. I am

My retort to the extra credit thing is something like this:
So, you're not doing very well on the material that you're supposed to
learn for this class, so you want me to give you credit for something
that's not part of what you're supposed to learn to make up for the
things you're not learning?
I ask them why I would give extra work to those not able to show minimum
knowledge on the exams. I urge them to put more effort into studying
effectively. I do provide bonus pts now and then to those whose work is
outstanding, but no extra credit otherwise. Gary

Unfortunately, I have had many colleagues at the collegiate level give
"extra credit" for many questionably-academic efforts as well.
