Biology and Psychology 3506 (Spring 09) – Inhalants

There is no contest, this is the most depressing of the topics in this course. You know, gas huffing is not a happy topic. We had a pretty good discussion at the end of class, and I used the Zoom H2, (and mixed at a higher bitrate than normal), and I ran it through the Levelator, so you should be able to hear the discussion.  See these are the kind of things that I do, because I care almost too much….

Psychology 1106 (Spring 09) Test 1 marks posted

The grades are posted here, out of 40. the average was 25.3/40 or 63.25. Some of you may remember your instructor mentioning the average should be around 63.2 for the first test….

Anyway, nobody is out to lunch here. For those of you that did not do as well as you liked, or I liked, I can say that you are not in trouble. There is nobody that is at like 12/40 or something. This is a VERY good sign.

Psychology and Biology 3506 (Spring 09) – Brains and Dependence

Brains! Oh and dependence, addiction etc.

(Note, my recorder was messed up during the brain stuff, so I imported an old lecture here, the stuff after the break is the new lecture from last night).
