or use the proper APA-citation when using direct words. Please do not use direct text from the chapter when

You will receive 10 points for posting your answer. You will also receive 5 points when you respond to at least 1
student in the course. Please use full and complete sentences………………
BOOK INFORMATION…Textbooks:
The textbooks are available at the College Bookstore. It is imperative that you purchase these editions of these
textbooks. All assignments, quizzes and the final exam are predicated upon these editions. You cannot expect
to do well without the correct textbooks.
Additional Important Information: I anticipate a good semester, if you do a few things. Please read through this
entire announcement.
1) It is important that you make sure you have activated your PGCC email since that is the only one I will use
for communication.
2) Purchase the correct textbooks in the correct editions. You must be sure you have the correct textbooks.
3) Please be sure to label all emails as PSY2110 DL02. It is important to sign all emails with your name so I
know who is writing. Please feel free to email me with specific questions about your own personal situation
such as grading issues. However, for general-course questions, please post them in the Questions DB. Please
feel free to answer questions if you know the answers to assist your fellow classmates!
4) Plan on checking email at least every other day and you should also plan to check into the online class at
least every other day. Plan on studying at minimum of 10 hours per week. While many deadlines are at the end
of the week, there are earlier in the week deadlines. I have found that students who do this and also complete
required work earlier in the week tend to be more successful. Note that the deadlines are the last time by which
work can be submitted. They do not indicate a time at which you should submit work. You cannot wait until the
end of the week to check Bb and expect to complete all work successfully.
5) It is important to have ready and reliable access to the Internet and computers. It is very difficult to succeed
if you do not have these at home. You can do so at the public library or on campus. Be aware that many
systems at work may have firewalls or other security features that may prevent you from accessing some
elements of the course. Finally, be aware that some ISPs (especially AOL) have a tendency to time you out
(i.e. knock you off-line). That is another reason to begin work early in the week. I can unlock quizzes if that
happens early on. If it happens at the deadline, you will lose those points.
6) Besides accessing Blackboard through the campus portal, it is best to access Blackboard through
http://pgcconline.blackboard.com. Bb is housed on an outside server so when campus is down, Bb is not.
7) Make sure you have Adobe Reader (a free download from www.adobe.com) on your computer. Most of the
documents are saved as PDF and you need this software to read them.

Mamie Phipps Clark
COLLAPSE - From Chapters 7 & 8, My favorite African-American Psychologist is Mamie Phipps Clark.
- I have the delight of introducing one of the most famous women’s psychologists for the tremendous
contributions to the field of psychology, Mamie Phipps Clark (1917-1983). She was born in Hot Springs,
Arkansas. Her father was a doctor, she graduated from Langston High School as a 16-year-old, due to the
academic performance she enrolled at Howard University to study Mathematics where she had the opportunity
to meet her future husband Kenneth B., who influenced her to major in psychology and who became her
partner in one of the most famous studies that Kenneth & Mamie participated in called “Segregation as a factor
in the Racial Identification of Negro Pre-school children”. But before obtaining this psychological award
research. In 1944 she received her Ph.D. in psychology at Columbia University, later on in 1946, she became
executive director of the Northside Center for Child Development in New York until her passing. - Mamie Phipps Clark is my favorite African-American Psychologist because she demonstrated how
intellectual she was since she graduates from High School as a sixteen-year-old woman and pursues her
studies at Howard University. One of the Universities that was opening the doors for her with many scholarship
options. Also, one of the contributions that called my attention from her is the hard work she applied to children
from her race which I love because one of my passion is to work with kids, and in this psychology research,
she showed her empathy for kids which is the doll study where she was able to prove, the racial identification of negro Pre-school children. - One accomplishment this psychologist would say about me is that after immigrating to the United States 5 years ago, 3 years later, I was able to graduate from High School and to continue 2 l
