In the words of Fat Tony..."Let's do this thing!" Below is a list of download links to important Psychology 230 files. Some of them may be a little large. So, a fast internet connection will facilitate the downloading process. These files can be opened from the web or downloaded (right click). Additionally, you will need to:

  1. Download the Acrobat, PowerPoint and Word viewers, if you do not have these programs already installed on your computer.
  2. Activate your MCC e-mail account, if you have not already dones so.

Links for relevant browser software can be found on the homepage of this site. If for any reason, you have trouble downloading or viewing the lecture slides, try using an alternative web browser (there are known issues with Explorer). If you still have problems, talk to me and we can work it out.
