OK. Well, welcome, everyone, to Psychology 210. Please take a seat. This is Psychology 210: Introduction to Social Psychology. I hope everyone is in the right room. Are you? OK, good. Let me get started.
For today, this afternoon, since this is our first day, I want to talk to you about this course. I’m going to give you some information about what we will study and how we will study it. So, I want to talk briefly about the field of social psychology and then I will give you more information about the course requirements. Everybody OK with this? OK.

That’s the simplest way to explain this course. And we’re going to discuss some of the theory and the research that explains all of this. OK, but before I go any further, let me make one point very clear: the main objective of this course is to help you to become more interested in the field of social psychology and to prepare you for more studies in this field. That is my hope. OK?
So I think by now everyone has had a chance to have a look at the syllabus. Yeah? You saw it on my Web site, right? So, I think that you get the picture that…that I’m going to expect a lot from you in this social psychology class. So I will go over the syllabus now, OK?
First, let’s talk about the readings. I’ll assign new readings each class period, and the reading assignments are going to come from the textbook. You should complete the assigned readings by the date I give you. That’s simple. You get the assignments, and then you do the reading.
Now, the lectures: I’m going to give a lecture in each of my classes. And during my lectures, I’m going to expand on the ideas that you read about in your textbooks. So, for example, I might explain something that you read about in the assignment, or I might
