RE: 'seductive details' in lecture

[David Epstein]

On Fri, 13 May 2005, Peterson, Douglas went:

WARNING anecdotal support ahead!

Many students comment that because of my introductory psychology
class they have decided to minor in psychology.  I attribute this
interest in psychology to "bringing the class to life" with these
"seductive details"

I've had the same sort of experience with my former students in
physiological psychology: they took the class solely because of
distribution requirements, but then changed their attitude toward the
material and sometimes decided to keep pursuing it.

I'd like to read the Harp article, but I have no access to a copy of
_ToP_, and there seems to be no on-line edition.  Can anyone make a
.pdf available?
