Recommended reading & materials:
A list for sessions (4) to (6), with references from Psychology and
related
fields, will be distributed in my first session. (There is no single
prescribed
text, nor a reading pack).
Note: In previous years I run a much larger part of GRM and made
most
material available on my website; click grm-mat
to find a reprint.
Assessment:
There is no exam specifically for my sessions; however, the assessment
tasks
provided by Garry Robins will include issues of data collection
methodology.
Contact
& consultation:
Wednesday, 15:00-16:00 <room 803>.
