Schedule Summer 2008

Schedule

Psyc 320 Schedule - Summer 2008 *Dates for exams are absolute due dates, work may always be completed early. Further you should plan to do approximately* a lesson and one half per week in order to meet the exam deadlines.** Due dates are considered "due by" not "do on." I would highly recommend working with this in mind. If you know that you will not be able to complete an assignment on that particular date, then you should complete the assignment earlier than that due date. This course is self-paced and students often work ahead and can finish the course earlier if they are so motivated. You will need to do the following to complete the course: 1. 6 quizzes 2. 6 CT papers 3. 1 (of 4 possible) personal reaction papers *4. PHRP Training course completion (START EARLY!!! It will* take some time!) 5. 4 exams 10% per day (including weekend days) penalty for late assignments/quizzes/exams.** Some due dates will fall on a Friday, however you can also upload assignments by the following Sunday without penalty (i.e. PR due 5/16 or by 5/18). Note the due dates are on a Friday, in order to not infringe upon anyone's religious observances by making assignments due on Saturday or Sunday. However, non-Friday due dates will be enforced strictly. In addition, the last exam MUST be done on Friday and no extension is possible.
