Hi everyone:
I'm curious what others on this list think of the sexual addiction model
that Patrick Carnes has written about. Carnes seems to be describing a
legitimate clinical problem, but as far as I can tell there doesn't seem
to be any convincing research to suggest that it is an addictive

I believe that one solution is to educate students about the connection
between academic skills and success. And by "educate" I mean more than
simply insisting that there is a relationship. Here are just a couple of

For some reason, this line of thought on the TIPS emails has gotten under my

I would say yes. The first author is presumably the primary author in a
number of ways (as far as I'm concerned). If one of the other authors has
'the say'... I suppose would reconsider order of authorship to be consistent.

I agree and this is what I thought, the first author, myself, should
have the final say. The second author is arguing though because he/she
feels as though the mansucript should be sent to a higher level journal.
