Weekly Study Questions
Psychology and Biology of Emotion
Fall 2004

 

Weekly study questions will be posted here on the Friday before each class. They are in pdf format and can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat.

I recommend that you download these each week and use them to assess how well you are understanding the material. Optimally, you should have read the material well enough to answer most if not all of these questions each week. If something is unclear, please bring it up in class. These are also the best way to study for the exam. (There may be some things in the study questions that are not in any of the readings for that week. I will describe those things in class.)
