Individuals should leave this class with an understanding of the basic issues, theories, and methodologies currently of interest to researchers of child psychology. The text must be read as preparation for each class. Consult the topic outline for weekly reading assignments. The textbook contains a lot of information and will require concentration and effort on your part . If you find you have difficulty dealing with the amount of information presented in the class and lectures, seek assistance.
Students are responsible for BOTH the assigned readings and the lecture material.
Not everything that is discussed in class will be in the text, so it is your responsibility to get the notes from any class that you miss. The student is responsible for any material missed due to an absence of any nature. I will not provide lecture notes for any missed lectures. It is up to you to officially drop the course if you quit attending class. Cheating of any kind will NOT be tolerated.
