End of Lectures

For those of you who did not attend class today, we completed lectures for the course this morning. There will thus be no lecture tomorrow (Friday 31 August).

I will let you know via the blog when the essay marks and test marks are available.

I will be posting exam revision guidelines on the blog during the last block, once the examination question papers have been approved by the External Examiner.

All the best for the 4th quarter. Thanks for an enjoyable course.

Regards
Michael

Rescheduling of Research Session 1

The research session that had been scheduled for today (10 August) will instead take place during our lecture slots on Wednesday 15 August. Please read (or re-read) Bechara et al. (1994) in preparation for this session. It would also be helpful to re-read the article by Fukui et al. (2005) from Task 2 of the mini-assignment.

Lectures on Monday 13 August will continue as normal, and we'll begin our next section of the course, focusing on the influential work of Jaak Panksepp (see Reading Pack).

No lecture on Friday 10 August

Due to indecision and miscommunication by the University Registrar, some confusion has arisen about the status of 10 August. As discussed in class, the University was informed last week that 10 August was in fact a normal working day, and based on this communication, I scheduled a lecture for 12h30 on Friday.

The latest message (below) from the Registrar, however, indicates a decision to designate 10 August as a 'non-teaching day'. As such, I am not in a position to expect or demand your attendance at any lecture on Friday, and so I am forced to cancel the lecture.

I will reschedule the research session in due course. Please note that, as a 'non-teaching day' on which the University is otherwise open for business as usual, I will be available during my usual Friday consultation times (11h00-12h00), and may extend these if anyone requests an appointment between 11h00 and 13h00.

Message (of 7 August) from the University Registrar:


MESSAGE FROM THE REGISTRAR, KIRTI MENON

Dear Colleagues

Please note that the 10^th August 2012 was erroneously marked as a University holiday in the almanac.

Kindly note that the 10th of August 2012 is a normal working day for both staff and students. However, to accommodate academic staff who have planned field trips or other off-campus academic activities for students during this time, this day has been designated as a non-teaching day. All other University activities will continue as normal. Please advise your students accordingly.
