Detalles: Students are expected to read the assigned chapters before the meeting time. The first meeting will discuss chapters 1-6, so the student is expected to come to class having completed these chapters. Students will be provided with a reading guide for each section of the class. It is encouraged that students complete it so that they can think about the concepts they're learning and organize their learning, as well as record the questions they have. Depending upon reading speed, this may take more or less time than 2-4 hours per week. Student notes will not be checked, but students are expected to bring their notes with questions to the class to discuss. Students and parents should consider the reading load before registering to decide if enrollment is a good idea for them.

This course is not designed specifically for students with unique learning needs, but strategies which benefit students with unique learning needs are embedded into the course (i.e., audio book available, structured notes available).

There are no pre-requisites for this class. Students should be ready to read independently before the class meeting so they are ready to discuss the readings.

We will read "You are not so smart" by David McRaney. Students/families can find this book at their local library or can search Google for best prices on the book. If students have questions about what a psychological term means, they should use the American Psychological Association dictionary online (https://dictionary.apa.org/
