PSY 311 PAPER 2 TOPICS

Question

Work on the 6 annotations please, missing one more !! Read instructions carefully Continue on the work that is completed. " You'll notice that now instead of needing to find 4 more articles for the annotated bibliography, you may now find 2 more-and turn in a total of 3 annotations, rather than 5, for the end of Project 2. However, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT EXTRA CREDIT: You may hand in up to two (2) extra annotations with your final project 2 for up to 5 points extra credit." DO EXTRA CREDIT PLEASE!! Now comments from the completed assignment fix it up -But some of the vars that you id are actually quasi IVs... otherwise great job
