The deadline for the project outlines has been postponed a week. Instead of being due on the 18th or 20th (right smack dab in between the exam and make-up), they are now due on the 25th (Sections 4, 6) and 27th (Section 11). To see what is required for the project outline, click here.
Regarding the Monday exam... all of you will be taking the exam in 140 Lorch Hall at 8pm. Make sure you bring a photo id. The room for the optional retake is still being worked out, but I'll let you know where it is as soon as I can.
In section this week we will have group presentations on early childhood. I will also set aside some time for review. I will go over what I think are key concepts and leave room for questions. So please think of any questions you might have or any concepts that you are unsure of. Typically, 75% of the class chooses to take the optional retake exam, so next week we will also hold a longer review session.
What do you need to know for the exam? Click here for a guide to studying the Berger textbook. If you have those topics covered, you should be in good shape.
Are you looking for a Research Assistant (RA) position? Several developmental professors are in need of RAs. Let me know if you're interested.
