Home Page: Psychology and Social Policy

This page provides initial access to the "web-based" material in the class. As such it is primarily a list. The list contains entry points to such things as the class syllabus, helpful suggestions for things to think about while reading the material in the class, and homework assignments. It also contains the entry point to other web sites that you should explore. You will find a list of links below to the class syllabus, study aids for the readings in this class, and other web sites that contain information, reports of research, opinion, and recommendations about various social policy issues. You should note that this page, as well as the others for this class, are under construction so that you might wish to check their contents frequently as the course begins to ramp up and as we progress through the quarter. This means that you should refresh previously browsed copies of this page. (You may have a browser that stores a copy of this page on your local computer. If so, unless you "refresh" this page you will always view the local one and not see new additions that we make.)
