Bibliography:
Students in my psychology classes
are encouraged to think for themselves.
Comments and questions are always welcomed and mutual feedback will dominate
as we learn. We have a real adventure as we explore the human mind, discovering
and rediscovering the things that make the act of human being both wondrous
and exciting.
I hope to convey the thrill of exploration to those of you in my classes,
and to share with you the awe I feel toward the workings and wiles of our
psychological experience. If you are considering whether to sign up for
psychology: COME ON IN! The water's fine...
I look forward to welcoming you into my class, my office, and the gestalt
of our mutually held humanity. -R.M.
This WebPage will no doubt grow and grow. Check
back as often as you like! Changes to Exercises, Handouts and Bibliographies will come
online as soon as I get them ready.
