Hi Annette. Thank you very much for those tips. I am still so angry at the current textbook price situation that I think that by next semester I will abandon the traditional textbook in favor of on-line readings.
Miguel P.S. BTW, how's the new dean working out? -----Original Message----- From: Annette Taylor, Ph. D.

Hi Miguel: I am using Nancy Mellucci's Psychology the Easy Way from Barron's books, for $15 this semester. It is short but extremely accurate IMHO. I am also using readings. You can find them on the usd main website http://www.sandiego.edu Click on Libraries. Click on Copley Library. Click on e-res (electronic reserves). It will prompt you for something to identify the course, From the drop down menu click on instructor's name and type Taylor. The password is 'introduction' once you find my page. Some of the readings are specific to some research I am doing on misconceptions but still, they fit the course topics.
