At the end of the semester, the points that have been earned are totaled, curved and students are given grades based on their rank order. On the day that the paper is due, students are expected to be able to summarize the article orally. Those who volunteer or are chosen to present, give a brief, 3- minute summary. If a second offense is committed, you will again be given a '0', probably causing you to fail the course. Please see our catalogue for additional information.
Some students do better when they summarize an article and present it to the class.
Other students find that they need to earn extra points, like extra credit, because their test performance hasn t been to their standards. If anyone would like to substitute an oral presentation for one of the three required papers, or earn extra credit by making an oral presentation in addition to the papers, they are invited to do so by contacting me either after class or during my office hours. At that time, we will select a paper from a bibliography and review detailed instructions to simplify the process of presenting. The strategies of human mating. A theoretical account of the processing in the Raven Progressive Matrices Test.
