Hello, TIPSters. I'm teaching Honors Intro Psych to ten freshmen and sophomores this semester, only one of whom has listed psychology as his intended major. I decided to dispense with a textbook and take a primary sources approach to the course, a decision which I hope I don't regret. I am using the readings collection Sources: Notable Selections in Psychology and intend to supplement it with other articles. I'm having trouble generating a coherent organization and deciding on course requirement. I know I want them to do a lot of reading, thinking, and writing, and very little test-taking. I've looked at Ruth Ault's upper-level Issues in Psychology syllabus as well as all of the Introductory Psychology syllabi available through the Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology, and none of them quite "click" with what I need. Can you help? Especially if you've taught Intro with mainly primary sources or without any exams I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Nathalie ***** Nathalie Coté Assistant Professor of Psychology Belmont Abbey College 100 Belmont - Mt. Holly Road Belmont, NC 28012 (704) 825-6754
