RPC Tour 2012
Greetings Everyone!
Next term, SPSS would like to go on a tour of the Regional Psychiatric Centre (RPC) right here in Saskatoon! In preparation for organizing the tour, we would like to know how many students are interested in going
on the tour.
Some details to consider:
-we are hoping to go on this tour late January - early February (exact date still to be announced...)
-it is FREE
-we are likely to car pool so we may need a few volunteers to drive...and perhaps if you end up being a passenger, you can donate a few dollars your volunteer driver for gas money? (RPC is on Central Ave, not that far from campus)
-it will be interesting, a good educational experience for psychology
students, and FUN!
Please e-mail us at spss.info@usask.ca if you are interested in going!
Thanks guys!

Term Paper Help
Got something to hand in that's worth a chunk of marks? Come get a few tips.
November 17th
4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Arts 153
This will be a drop-in Q & A type of thing. SPSS executive members will be ready to help you look over weak sections of your paper, proofread, and check over formatting issues. A 6th edition APA manual will also be available at the session, should you need to consult it.
If you want a bit of help ahead of time, the University of Washington Lit Review Guide ain't too shabby. Our Links page has some good resources too.

Advising Flowcharts
These may be the most useful tools for planning out your undergraduate degree. And just some advice:
- take your stats in 2nd year! If you don't, you will take longer to complete your degree (i.e., > 4 years)
- work backwards from what you know you need to take your last year, especially if you are considering the honours degree
- take classes that allow you flexibility in choosing courses down the road (i.e., choose a variety of 2nd year courses, or choose courses that are prerequisites for multiple 3rd year classes)
- download the undergraduate advising handbook. Read it, know it, love it.
