Michael,

One more thing, I am using Frieman's "Learning and Adaptive Behavior"
text.  I have used it for the past two semesters and my students really
enjoy it.  It is not too intense for them.  Jerry Frieman gives a lot of
good everyday examples that the students can apply to their lives.

Michael,

I have been using Mazur for the in-class text.  It is a bit tough for
the 
students (it is a 200 level class) but they manage to get through it.

For the lab, I use my own manual.  The students do a series of 9
experiments:

1)  magazine training
2)  bar pressing
3)  extinction
4)  discrimination
5)  FR schedules
6) extinction again (after FR schedule - looking for PREE)
7)  chaining with a complex response (like Breland and Breland)
8)  Superstition
9) Design your own project (worth double points)

If you like, I can send off a copy of what I use.
