Students are expected to produce and submit their own original work. Allegations of academic dishonesty, e.g., copying during exams, will be reported to the Chair of Academic Affairs, Department of Psychology. Students should also consult the Student Handbook to review their responsibilities and rights regarding academic honesty. Instructor's Teaching Interests: My teaching and research interests have centered on designing interactive learning environments using multimedia, hypermedia, and webbased technologies. I'm interested in investigating the impact of using such new media technologies on teaching and learning and how to design effective learning environments for learners at different age levels. Reading Assignments: Please consider the accompanying multimedia CD-ROM to be part of the reading assignment for each chapter. The CD-ROM covers some of the most important topics from each chapter in an interesting way, and provides a quiz to help assess how much more you need to understand from the chapter.
