It
may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of
society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness.
And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.

Assignment List
If you work really hard, you can prepare for the A.P. Exam in Psychology in about 13 weeks. This area of the Rosemobile.com site, and a few other places can help you.
Listed here are 13 weeks of AP Assignments. Check back often because I am continuing to build this page. If you are one of my D2L online students, these assignments should be seen as your outside homework assignments and the materials in the D2L site should be seen as you daily assignments. In either case, no amount of website magic will ever replace a good old fashion text book. There are dozens to choose from. I suggest looking at half.com and finding a text that is a couple years old.
There are few good online psychology sites run by colleges and universities. I will direct you one of the best in the lessons below. It was written by Dr. Christopher L. Heffner. Good luck.
