Welcome! Extra Credit in the Making!

[Alli]

Hi Everyone,

This lovely feature of Google allows us to have a blog/discussion
board for our course. As we discussed, abnormal psychology is
frequently in the news and often portrayed (for better or worse in
popular media). Therefore, for extra credit, you may post any news/
media articles you read that relate to our course.

In order to receive credit, please post an active link to the article
you read, summarize the article/news item in 2-3 sentences, and then
comment on how the article/news item relates to our course in another
2-3 sentences. No need to be too detailed - just let me know that you
see the connections.

You may earn up to one full point per original post (that is, 1% to be
added to your final average). You may also earn 1/2 point (that is, .
5% to be added to your final average) through THOUGHTFUL comments on/
responses to another student's post.

While there is no limit to the number of times you may post, you can
earn a maximum of 5 points (or 5% to be added to your final average),
through any combination of your original posts and thoughtful comments
on others' posts.

Questions? Comment here or email me :)
