This resource compilation and activity development was designed to serve the Psychology as a Science course at Washington State University. This book is designed as a resource for instructors, but should not be assigned to students as-is. All activities were co-authored by Amy T. Nusbaum and Dr. Dee Posey and are licensed CC-BY-SA. The activities are designed using an inquiry framework, encouraging students to think with the mindset of a scientist. All resources are owned by their individual authors – we link to them merely for convenience. The hope for this resource is that instructors can easily create custom reading lists for their own courses that are free for students.
