Next Year

Be sure to plan the year out.  It should be reasonably easy for this course.  End with old age, death and dying.

Throughout both courses - for god's sake use the the DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from the red textbook.   So effing useful.

Note start next year with the course layout:  Use a copy of pp468-471 from Themes and Variations in Psychology in order to demonstrate where we are beginning and where we are going with the course.
