Computational Tools
Statistics in real-world applications requires statistical software. Software allows us to focus on the methods and applications rather than the computations. (We will, however, study the formulas to gain insights into their meaning and use.) We will use the R statistical software for our computations and analysis. No prior experience with statistical software or programming is required or assumed. You will gain familiarity with R through using it in class, and through code examples and tutorials I will give you.
You will access R through a cloud-based platform and development environment called RStudio, available on Posit Cloud. You will receive an email invitation to join the class space on Posit Cloud.

PHI 278: Ethics – Wisdom literatures – 6 weeks
All texts and readings will be available through the course Brightspace page, so there are no books to buy. In addition to the wisdom literatures we’ll read, which are all in the public domain, our primary text will be Angus Fletcher’s Wonderworks (2021). I’ll post PDFs of the six chapters we’ll read from the book, but we won’t have time to get to twenty others, so while you don’t have to purchase the book, there is a great deal more to get from it if you do. Finally, two of the works we’ll examine are dramatic: Shakespeare’s play Hamlet and Akira Kirosawa’s film Rashōmon, so you will either have to rent these or borrow them from your local library. If you choose the later route – request them now so you’ll have them available when we need them in the 4th and 5th week of the course.

PSY 205: Abnormal Psychology – 6 Weeks
REQUIRED Primary Course Text and Materials
Abnormal Psychology Ninth Edition (2023) by Nolen-Hoeksema and Jennings McGraw-Hill
The textbook listed above is required reading for this course. We will be reading the entire book. To help you with this endeavor, there are lots of study guide materials available via Brightspace for the course. Before our first class, please go to the Brightspace site for our course and sign up through the McGraw Hill Connect process to access course materials. You MUST sign up for Connect through our Brightspace link. I STRONGLY suggest you peruse the course materials listed under the first week’s module and also the SMART BOOK Review Tab. In each weekly module tab there is an e-book version of the assigned textbook chapters, pre-lecture quizzing, and a Textbook Power point slide document which is an outline of the textbook. Even though the text is available through Brightspace as an e-reader, I strongly suggest you pick the option when you purchase the connect package of acquiring a loose-leaf version of the textbook for an extra $25. This gives you the option to read either online or on paper. Research shows that comprehending highly dense content is best done with a real textbook and NOT online.
