Editor's Notes
- #18 Jay, On an earlier slide it says Social Welfare Institutions OR Social Psychology. Here it looks like they have to take both.
- #20 Jay, I don’t know what that last bullet point means. Maybe a student is all set up to work with the Corning police and starts in December and is taking CRIM 470 in the spring semester. I will be the academic supervisor for the students in this course and will need to keep track of them. If they start too early and without the proper paperwork in place it can pose problems. I will write something very specific about how this process works.
