Thanks for the congratulations. The grant has allowed me to work on a
project I began 3 years ago.
My project is a lab manual for child psychology. It is a series of 12
activities designed to introduce students to naturalistic observation and
to how theories evolved from observations. The exercises can be used as a
semester long lab or activities can be used individually. Topics include
play, language and gender. I'm doing final revisions right now and should
forward it to OTRP in the next couple of weeks.
Also, to those Tipsters still job hunting - Hang in there. After 4 years
of looking, I finally found a full-time position for the fall. It's a
local community college where I will be able to do a lot of the things I
want. And I'll be able to focus on teaching. As part of the new job, I may
be developing an honors intro course. So, if anyone has syllabi to share,
I'd be happy to summarize and return information to the list.
Again, thanks for the kind words and I hope people will find the manual
useful.
