Hi Lenore, I offer students extra credit points for writing summaries of articles that have been published in Current Directions in Psychological Science and that I have selected based on what I thought were topics that might be of interest to students (go to http://facpub.stjohns.edu/~roigm/Psy1000C.html and scroll down a bit). The articles are roughly mapped to each of 5 exams which cover the sequence of chapters in Nevid's Intro textbook 'Psychology: Concepts and Applications'. Thus, the articles for exam 1 are relevant to topics covered in the first 3 chapters: Introductory chapter, physiological psych., and S & P. The next set of articles deal with consciousness, conditioning and memory, etc. There can be considerable overlap between topics. Also, I have not updated the list since 2015, but most of the articles are relatively recent, they cover noteworthy areas of psychology and some might be useful for your purposes.

The specific topics don't matter, but should have some surface appeal for students. I just want to put together a list where each student picks one article to work with and integrate when the topic comes up during the semester.
