Cog Scholars,

I am going to Brenau this afternoon to help them with their Psi Chi induction. Per our discussion in class you are to use this time wisely. I would suggest sitting down and working a coglab or two. You might also work on social bookmarking. If you are the odd man out and totally caught up on our course work, feel free to read chapter three on Attention.

Intro Scholars,

I believe that we agreed to have examination #1 on Wednesday, February 8th.

You’ll find my lecture slides along with the modules that go with them on our website.

Passing along an email message I received:

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to tell you about an exciting program at the University of Nebraska/Lincoln for undergraduates enrolled in your psychology program. The National Science Foundation awarded our Law and Psychology Program a grant to house and train undergraduate psychology students interested in psychology and law. This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program brings 8 to 10 undergraduate students to UNL to study law and psychology in our program for a full year. Undergraduate students are provided with room and board for 1 year, along with a stipend for working in our law and psychology research laboratories. They spend time working with our joint law and psychology doctoral (JD/Ph.D and MLS/Ph.D.) students. Our faculty will mentor these undergraduate students, helping them gain valuable experience to assist in preparing them for graduate school in psychology. Last year we accepted 10 students in our first year class and each has had a rewarding academic experience at UNL as you can see from reading some of their comments on the REU website (address provided below). This year we will accept our second class of REU students beginning in summer of 2006. The website describes the program in detail. Please take a few minutes to go to the website, review it, and then pass the address along to any undergraduates in your department who might be interested in the program. The program description and application materials are available on the following website:

http://www.unl.edu/psychlawreu/

The website states that we will begin selecting REU students in mid February. We will continue accepting applications until all slots are filled. Students who apply early will have an advantage in this competitive selection process.

Thanks so much,

Richard L. Wiener
Director, Law and Psychology Program
University of Nebraska at Lincoln
