ATTENTION PSYCH STUDENTS!!

Due to time constraints of the closing semester, I have decided to wrap up the mental disorders unit early next week. That means your last unit test will be next Thursday and Friday. I want to have enough time to cover social psychology, which will be your last unit of the class.

STUDY ALL OF YOUR NOTES FOR THIS EXAM. SOME OLD MATERIAL WILL APPEAR ON THE TEST TO PREPARE YOU FOR THE FINAL EXAM.

Please pass the word to your classmates. Thanks and have a great weekend.
