Course Description
Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 2:16PM 
This is a very unique course. You will meet twice a week in a small seminar room. Your classes are taught by Dr. Malott's very competent graduate student instructors. You will read Dr. Malott's book, Principles of Behavior (7th Edition), and in each class period, you will cover 1-2 chapters. Each day, you will review homework, present original examples, talk about the assigned readings, and take a quiz. This class is very fast paced, so it is important that you attend all seminars.

Work Shows
Thursday, January 1, 2015 at 1:10PM 
Work shows are interactive PowerPoint lessons. We've included all work shows on your CD in your coursepack. However, for your convenience, we've also posted them here. They work on most computers and laptops. If you have any trouble opening these files, we recommend that you go to the computer lab on campus. You will be quizzed over the work show material, so it is important that you review the work shows early, in case you encounter any technical difficulties.
