This collection of materials, which supported several undergraduate-level psychology courses at the University of Plymouth (UK), won the 1998 Teaching and Learning Award of the Universities and Colleges Information Services Association (UCISA). The site is arranged by course level (years one through three) and by the topics covered in each course. The Year one lecture materials are the most developed, listing each topic, its aim, the content covered, and the learning objectives. Year one coverage includes Neurotransmission, Depression, Schizophrenia, Hormones & Stress, and Animal Behaviour. Most sections (all levels) contain a lecture overview, extensive graphics from transparencies used in class, audio clips, and animated images. Some online interactive learning activities may require JavaScript or Java.

commented :
The Biological Bases of Behaviour Site at the University of Plymouth is a very detailed site of lecture support material for courses taught in the Department of Psychology there. The material has a number of noteable features such as approximate download times for those using a modem, interactive tests and good use of animated gifs to illustrate biological processes ( see this movie of the events thought to be involved in neurotransmission ).

commented ..
One of the best web courses on behavior with a strong background in neurobiology. Appropriate for college students and AP high school biology students.
Extensive, in-depth content that makes excellent use of diagrams, graphs, photos, videos, applets, and audio clips.
To take advantage of everything in this site, you will need to download a number of plug-ins, and you will need to visit this large site several times.

This is undoubtedly one of the best college course sites about behavior on the web! The support materials provided here are extensive; the content is excellent, and the graphs, photographs, biographical materials, and links are of equal quality. Professor Kenyon begins with an extensive discussion of the scientific method, and uses phrenology as the "bad" example, and the dopamine-Parkinson's disease link as the "good" science example. In truth, only the last few topics are directly related to animal behavior, but a firm footing in the comprehensive neurobiology offered in the preceding topics will only make the later material better. Each of the topic-links provide extensive, deep content with all of the graphic, video, and audio "extras."

commented ...Biological Bases of Behaviour - University of Plymouth psychologists have put together a mind-blowing site. Well not quite...but it is an interesting and apparently award-winning site that brings to the Web support material for courses on the Biological Bases of Behaviour, taught by Dr Paul Kenyon. There is plenty on the likes of hormones and stress, stress and behaviour, drugs and anxiety and of course sex. If that caught your attention then you might be disappointed to read what Kenyon has to say as he discusses the role of hormones in sexual behaviour, rather than the nitty gritty. Although he does pose some interesting questions about how to decide on treatment for paedophiles? (8 January 1999) DB http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/bbb.htm#BBBlecture support

s1-98.impsat.com.co comments: I think it is great, I would like to have more information about the neurotransmitters
ppp5.cu.soltec.net comments: good site. thanks for putting it together.
www-am5.proxy.aol.com comments: excellent, Robert D.Robinson psych major, U of Calgary
xray.psy.plym.ac.uk comments: PURE,DEAD BRILLIANT, R.D. Laing, 1966
141.163.13.126 comments: The loading speed was excellent, even on the internet from Babbage, while the overall clarity and organisation of this site, is equally as good. Much more interesting than boring handouts, which require no effort to obtain and are simply filed away and forgotten !.
George Etchison The info on neurotransmitters was very interesting and easy to understand , but I would like to know more on how different drugs such as caffein affect that part of the central nervous system.
xray.psy.plym.ac.uk comments: VERY GOOD, ALTHOUGH A LITTLE OVER THE TOP!
141.163.13.165 comments: this website is all very pretty, but relatively useless. The information takes far too long to load - maybe a reduction of irrelevent pictures could speed it up. The print outs were also of little value as these were often too wide for A4 or contained diagrams which spanned between two pages, i suggest aligning the site so that relevant printouts are divided so as to print like a book. Thanks
141.163.69.35 comments: superb! I only wish we had access to the computers in 101 and 133 in the evenings as the Babbage and Library are usually too full!
ott-pm4-01.comnet.ca comments: nice presentation, I,m in canada so its a long link. Enjoyed the page. If you can find a PET scan say glucose metabolism during rest and during the solution of a math problem, could be illustrative of functional aspect. again congrats.

ld13-098.lon.compuserve.com comments: The graphs are getting cut off on the right hand side of the page, the margins need to be looked at again
ld13-098.lon.compuserve.com comments: The subdivisions of the adrenal gland, the picture is only half complete.

49iddz063459.gs.pacbell.com comments: Thank u 4 going 2 the trouble involved in putting together such a site. I appreciate it 4 several reasons. I am a psychology student working on a doctorate, but have been in the communications industry 4 over 20 yrs. I help other students to utilize the resources of the internet a assist in their reasearch etc. thus resources such as yours r greatly appreciated! In addition, I was in a serious automobile accident last year & sustained a brain injury, so I'm having 2 learn 2 accomadate 2 my neuro-deficits, so having access to your information helpes me as I relearn or confirm what I have studied b4. I have several suggestions 4 improvements 2 your site. As u stated, these files can take a long time to access & print out successfully. While it is a convience 2b able 2 pull 1 document, it is sometimes easier in the long run for it 2b indexed so that the graphics or tables which r frequently large files & if they r accessed seperately can b accomodated by most printers (buffers). U might look @ The Virtual Hospital, internet site @ the U of Iowa, check out the multi-media teaching files & seminars, "Dissection of the Human Brain" & Psychopharmacology seminar". It would b nice 2 have sample questions or interactive testing available, NYU has a good interactive test program associated with their psychiatry department that u might wish 2 look @

thrakia-4.mdm.eau.execpc.com comments: Very nice & clear!
ww-tg45.proxy.aol.com Thank you for such a good site on dopamine and schizophrenia. I found it very interesting. However you say that there are two types of dopamine receptors - It is my understanding that there are more than two. Also you say there is no difference in D1 sz vs. D1 control There is a article saying the opposite in Nature Magazine 385, 578-579 and 634 (1997)
144.96.241.191 comments: cool
144.96.241.197 comments: good, I liked the examples the sound bites and animated examples

204.131.38.253 comments: I thought that this resource was too confusing for people tting to do a report on ACTH...
canes.gsw.peachnet.edu Web Page on Sexuality A very nice page and I am appreciative of the time and effort that you put into it. Also, I went to a conference a while back and Richard Green (The second author on the Gladue, et al LH rebound study you cite.) stated in response to a question that there had been no success in trying to replicate the study. Dorner had some earlier data which I think the Gladue study was an attempt to replicate. Bill Dragoin -- William B.

pc-bio15.ens.univ-rennes1.fr comments: fabulous!
athens.dental.upenn.edu comments: The internet neuroscience teaching resource is unbelievable. I will use your resource in two ways. First I teach a non-majors biology class at Penn and I use the internet in the classroom to present my notes to the students. (http://athens.dental.upenn.edu/tanaka/BIO_6/syllabus_97.html) I haven't put the time into developing the figures the way you have and I can only admire what you have done. (My husband is working on an on-line physics textbook which you might like to see at: http://dept.physics.upenn.edu/courses/gladney/mathphys/Contents.html I will also use the sheep dissetion resource in a workhop for HS teachers I"m doing with several other faculty members and graduate students from the Institute of Neuroscience at Penn. Thank you so sharing your vision and tremendous resource with the rest of us in the neuroscience community. Jackie Tanaka University of Pennsylvania

If I manage to sort out the other relevant sites, etc we are finding I'll ask our WWW person to see about setting up a link so your students can benefit as well as ours. (One obviously relevant connection here - which I'm sure you will already have - would be to the human equivalent. I've got the address but I'll check through what you've already collected first. Thanks, Keith Morgan.
dialup-44.def.oleane.com comments: I find your site very interesting, useful and well done; I couldn't however find the reference for the Geller-Seifter paradigm.
141.163.13.133 comments: This resource has been exceptionally helpfull to back up your lectures, especially the inclusion of other research articles and alternative sources of information. One area that may help when it comes to revision could possibly be the listing of a wide variety of exam questions as the past papers rarely give questions that can be related to each topic area. Thanks.
orl-fl10-06.ix.netcom.com comments: Really liked your page. The information hit home on the CAH women. When I saw the episode John Stossel did about 3 years ago and then the updated version this past week (1/98) I had wanted to find out more information on this subject and gosh, you provided a gool deal. I am totally hetro but ALWAYS felt different from my peers. I had little or no interest in children, marriage, and have always HATED fussing with my hair. Thank god I have beautiful hair. Anyhow your site is very interesting and a wealth of information.
p41.nas2.is4.u-net.net comments: I think this is a wonderful learning resource - entertaining as well as informative and the best I've seen of the university home pages on the web.
Dr. Anna E. Ross, Associate Professor of Biology I've just discovered your Biological Bases of Behaviour web site. What a wonderful resource. I'm teaching Animal Behavior this term and I'll be referring my students to your site. The material on the history of the field and the ethological experiments is wonderful. (Many of the same examples I use in class.) I really like the illustrations you have compiled. I hope it's ok if I use some during a class presentation... of course I will include a complete citation and documentation... Showing a couple of the images should whet my students' appetites so they'll want to see you materials for themselves.
193.149.82.232 05comments: An excellent presentation of information and relevant links. The site acts as an excellent starting point in this area and in fact covers a great deal of the material already in fairly comprehensive detail. Thank you.

Lisa Wood I happened upon your web page in looking at Plymouth as a possible stop during my travels this summer (with my six year-old daughter). I'm a psychology professor at a small liberal arts university near Seattle, Washington (USA). I'm very impressed with the student questionnaires on the web...great idea for survey research and for screening subjects for experiments. I also enjoyed my brief scan through your materials on aggression and gender. A few years ago I taught a course on aggression and have been considering a resurrection of the seminar. In any case, my family lived in Plymouth before the turn of the century and are listed at the old synagogue there. So I may head that way by rail. In any case, I've marked your web page and will return to it when I have more time.

I'm looking for well-written reference and textbooks on this subject, and I thought you might have some suggestions, since your web site/course seems to be particularly well thought out! Any ideas?

Reply from PK. I think you may mean naloxone rather than nalorone. Naloxone binds to receptor sites occupied by morphine. Here is an an example of how it is used to study the effects of neurotransmitters.

141.163.49.160 comments: Good overall, but you should consider splitting the content over several pagees, rather than on one page. This page alone (neurotransmitters), gets turned into a 50MB print file when trying to print, which knocked my print server over!! Also, the page is _not_ 384kb, as the neurotransmission gif animation (pk1rendered2.gif) is nearly 3MB in size!! Reply from PK. This large animation has now been given its own page.

bowerbird.cc.uq.edu.au comments: Found your site very interesting but was curious as to when you wrote this. We are currently studying five D receptors and the newer antipsychotics which affect all of thesse as well as histamine ans serotonergic receptors. Loading speed was fine and organisation of your page likewise. Reply from PK. Thanks for your comments. You are quite right to point out the multiplicity of receptor sites, and the availability of drugs which act as agonists and antagonists on them. I simplify the picture when I introduce this area to second year students, but some students elect to study the area in more depth in their final undergraduate year.
bsd0.mds.qmw.ac.uk comments: Check your pharmacology before disseminating information on the mechanism of action of Viagra. Erection occurs following dilation of the afferent blood vessels of the penis and the cGMP responsible for this is generated locally. It is almost certainly not due to a direct action of brain-derived cGMP Reply from PK. Thanks for pointing this out. The explanation for Viagra's action is given in quotes as it appears on the Virginia Urology Centre Viagra page. I will check out the issue you raise. Thanks again.

207.13.242.85 comments: excellent, i have a child with autism who has recently experienced psychotic episodes and is currently taking risperdal(sp?) and dexedrine alternating with adderal. Dexedrine is about the only thing that works consistently. Don't even like the rispirdal, but only thing that has helped with psychotic episodes. I would like to try lithium or depakote. Child is 6 1/2 yr old boy.
  Hi, there. I happened upon your article http:// salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/SEXDIFF.HTM on the web, because a newborn niece has CAH. I found it confusing that you have several pictures labeled CAH in the HTML text, and AGS in the graphic. I take it from this (and other reading) that they are the same syndrome? Perhaps a word or two about whether they are equivalent, and more consistent language would be a help. Thank you for sharing this helpful resource with others on the Web. Reply from PK. Sorry about this confusion, you are quite right, AGS and CAH refer to the same syndrome. I will make this point clearer on the page.

library-193-55.vassar.edu I took a look at this site because of its title thinking some of our Psyc faculty might be interested. I was so impressed that I sent it to all of them as well as to a few behavioural biologists. I'm glad I took a look from top to bottom or I'd have missed your Internet sites and I liked the links to local places. I didn't actually click on anything but it appears very well laid out. I showed my friend the yellow background feature- 'not on the exam,' Loved the whole thing. Flora Grabowska - flgrabowska@vassar.edu Science Librarian Vassar College

host-209-214-100-179.btr.bellsouth.net i have a question. why do people with this type of disorder (schiz)put there hands up to their mouths with their hand clinched in a fist? Reply from PK. As far as I know this behaviour is not seen in all schizophrenics. Some of the drugs used to treat schizophrenia can cause extrapyramidal side effects. These are described at http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/schizophrenia.htm#Side effects of classic antipsychotics

cannon.psych.uofs.edu Great site!!
I see your link to the MIT sheep brain page doesn't work, at least not today.
I'd like to recommend our sheep brain dissection guide-- academic.uofs.edu/department/psych/sheep/
It's based on an older DOS-based program--actually, the MIT site uses images from that version (slightly bigger and a bit higher resolution than what we opted for in the web-based version).
We're plugging away at a humand brain guide, but aren't there yet.
Once again--GREAT SITE!!! I'm adding it to my page of Likeable Links

143.52.188.158 Paul, I've found this site very useful for teaching purposes - the students like it as well. The only problem I've had is trying to connect to the server at the Uni. of Hanover, where the tutorials in basic neural processes are located. This site is also very useful - but difficult to use for teaching as access is very variable. Is there a reason for this? Do you know of any handy tips to get access? Or similar sites? Reply from PK.

slip-129-37-63-212.nj.us.ibm.net I am a translator of medical texts from English into German and came across your web site as the result of a search for Hoehn and Yahr Staging for a translation project. I was quite intrigued with the German machine translation at the beginning - it is gibberish and totally intellegible! What a shame for an otherwise very informative web site. But at least I do not have to worry about being replaced by a computer any time soon! If you need any real professional translations you can contact me under scinter@ibm.net. Sincerely, Susanne Correll for Interlanguage, Inc. Memphis, TN, USA Reply from PK. Thanks for this feedback. I don't speak German. We British are notorious for our poor grasp of foreign languages! The translation relies on AltaVista's SYSTRAN which claims to " translate words, phrases, and entire Web sites into a variety of different languages". I will remove the links to the German translations. As far as I know the French translation is acceptable. Thanks again.

For my own purposes, that relate to learning experiences less connected to studying and much more to learning-by-doing, experiencing and working under a "master", I find your categorisation rather narrow.

There is not enough time in lectures to cover all the relevent materials and this way you have time to fully understand what you are reading. The layout is excellent and it is very useful to have handouts on the lecture outline and of the diagrams because it means that making notes off the web page i much clearer. The clarity is also really good and the points to ponder make you think about what you have just read. It is also an enjoyable way to learn - what more can a girl ask for!!!.

webcacheh06a.cache.pol.co.uk Hi Paul Thanks for all the info. However when I print out the pages there are often page breaks in the middle of a drawing or graph etc which obviously makes them difficult to study. Could this be resolved? Reply from PK. Money & time saving tip : Try to avoid printing these pages. Some pages are very large and contain animated images. Copies of this web site are available in the Information Room Collection. If you are lucky enough to own your own computer, you may find "Browsing Lecture Support Material on your home computer" useful . And secondly I tried to down load the Neuroendocrinology article and despite loading Adobe it would not present the document as I was a guest to Ideal and not an authorised user as I did not have the necessary name and password. Is this right or am I doing something wrong? Reply from PK. I think the problem is to do with IDEAL not allowing the computer you were using unrestricted access. Your computer's IP address was 195.92.67.39. the canonical name is webcacheh06a.cache.pol.co.uk. Normally Plymouth computers start with the numbers 141.163. etc. IDEAL uses the 141.163 part to authenticate users and this may have failed. It is possible that you were using a 141.163. machine, but that it was set up to use a cache at webcacheh06a.cache.pol.ac.uk and this caused the problem. I would expect IDEAL to allow unrestricted access from academic sites. I suspect that IDEAL has denied access to webcacheh06a.cache.pol.ac.uk because it is a commercial machine. Are you using FreeServe as your ISP? One solution might be to try using a machine in the psychology department. If there are still problems, get back to me & I will investigate the cache settings on our machines. Regards Gill Nelson
mabel.csd.plymouth.ac.uk comments: Terrible. I haven't got the time to fight with electronic media: it's sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes not working at all and includes pages by individuals and companies that all have there own idea of how connections should be displayed (or hidden)and accessed. Surely no-one can argue that this method of accessing lecture support material is better than obtaining hard copies from the information room!For one thing hard copies are easier to read and so on. Please continue to put any relevant material in the info room or give details re accessing them in the library. It's an important year and this is just an inconvenience - especially trying to access 'ideal' only to be dissapointed after god knows how many wasdted minutes. Sorry for the abrupt tone but i'm know in a bad mood! I'm not a ludite, I'm just trying to work efficiently. Reply from PK. Sorry to hear that you experienced problems accessing the IDEAL site. But often if you persevere with something difficult, you can gain valuable insights into how things work. Sometimes, things presented on a plate don't make much of a lasting impression.
webcachew08a.cache.pol.co.uk Your webpages are very good indeed - very interesting.

If you don't find what you need e-mail me again.

More examples of the neurotransmitter could help me more. Reply from PK. Yes, the neurotransmitter animation is a large file. Try http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/depresssion.HTM for more information about neurotransmitters.
pc129.trades1.uvsc.edu I enjoyed browsing around the site. It is very impressive in many regards. It is very quick and quite user friendly. On a trivial matter, I believe there is a fault with question 20 on the first sample of multiple choice items. All of my sources indicated serotonin is a monoamine as well as norep., ep., and dopamine. I believe Ach is classified as a quartenary amine. Thanks, david yells. Reply from PK. You are quite right!. Thanks for pointing this out. I have modified the offending page.

202.188.89.139 comments: Can you explain to me how our biological predispositions interact with our culture and environment in influencing our behaviour? Reply from PK. It is impossible to give you a straightforward answer to your question. Here is the URL for a web site that has information on Human Ethology & Evolutionary Psychology http://evolution.humb.univie.ac.at/jump.html Hope this helps.
cuscon2563.tstt.net.tt comments: I am glad you are here:) I thought I was crazy to be interested in these things all my life
userbi62.netscapeonline.co.uk comments: I am completing an assessment on 'learning how to learn' with emphasis on searching for understanding/meaning and relating current research/experiences to previous learning so your resource is invaluable - many thanks.

203.197.43.174 comments: it has been extremely evocative and i wish you diplay more information on animal communication.thank you
webcache01b.cache.pol.co.uk comments: I like this resource. The best thing is that I can use it from home. This means that my library time is less for this topic and can be allocated elsewhere. I also think using it in the lectures is a good idea. I find it familiarises the layout and the funtions so that when I come to look at the site I save time by doing exactely what I want to do without having to work out how to do it first. I personally think this is a very useful resource, easy to use and read and usually quick to load on. It appears not to be available sometimes, but I can just come back another time. I am not sure how people who do not have access to the internet at home get on with using it - they may find it difficult to get the info or expensive if they have to photocopy it all.
193.191.224.16 comments: French translation is a disaster... Reply from PK. Sorry about that. It is a machine translation. I had thought about removing it, but some people may find it useful for deciding whether or not to read the english version.
ta06-183.vvm.com comments: Fabulous!! Would you mind if I included the URL for your site in my future lectures? I especially liked your novel treatment of the directional terms and animated Loewi's experiment. On the down side, the animated synapse was downloading at 2.4K/s and would have taken ages (or what seems like ages to get through). Reply from PK. Delighted you found this resource useful. Of course you can include the URL in your teaching materials. Sorry about the wait to see the animated synapse gif file. But it is very large.

mabel.csd.plymouth.ac.uk comments: hello, in the page above you say that there appear to be an increased amount of D2 receptors in the schizophrenic brain. This is very interesting and I would like to look at it some more - do you have a reference? (ps. page is v.cool) Reply from PK. Try Carlson. I will look up the original ref. & post it here.
rosebud.unn.ac.uk comments: I think the content and links are excellent, but I did find all the colours and images very distracting on first looking at the Salmon First Page. After I spent some time looking at the pages, I have become more used to the style.
195.89.184.38 comments: Most of Year 2 content at http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/Bbb.htm#PSY221 seems to link to Year1 material. I have manually searched through http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year2 and think that I've found most of the Year 2 material, but for the average browser it wouldn't be clear. Reply from PK. Our courses are undergoing extensive reorganisation. Material may be moved between years of our 3 year degree programme. http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/bbb.htm is the Home Page for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year courses. Sorry for any confusion.

webcachew02b.cache.pol.co.uk comments: Brilliant website. However, i would be interested to know if you have ever worked with or cared for people with mental disorders. Too much emphasis is placed on biological research, when often professionals fail to recognise the syptoms of someone suffering from depression, anxiety etc. Reply from PK. You are quite right, the focus of this site is on basic biological research. It is not the place to seek guidance on recognising symptoms of psychiatric disorders. The site's Home Page carries this message:" Warning ! The information provided on this web site is to be used for educational purposes only. It should NOT be used as a substitute for seeking professional care for the diagnosis and treatment of any medical/psychiatric disorder. The diagnosis and treatment of depression and other psychiatric disorders requires trained medical professionals. "
host213-1-2-203.host.btclick.com comments: Excellent,very useful
March 04, 2000 213.1.42.32 Excellent. I've stumbled on lecturs of yours before and was impressed then too. I've added a link to your page for my 3rd year students. Cheers, Kate Jeffery Dept. of Psychology University College London
March 06, 2000 144.173.6.80 This site is amazing. It loaded quickly and is organised clearly so can identify what you want.
March 06, 2000 141.163.90.139 Why are these lecture handouts to be found under the 3rd year section on the previous page, yet they are titled 2nd year? And which year are they for? Reply from PK. The syllabus has been changed recently. The contents of current modules are set out on http://salmon.psy.plym.ac.uk/year1/bbb.htm
March 06, 2000 141.163.90.139 How can we make the diagrams (and some of the text) fit on to our print outs? Reply from PK. Unfortunately some large diagrams will not print out onto paper. The web pages are best viewed on a computer.
March 06, 2000 141.163.90.139 I think it's absolutely disgusting that we are expected to fork out for compulsory handouts that would be given out in any other lecture!!!!!!!!! Reply from PK. This web-based learning-support resource is provided for free. Only one handout is distributed at the start of each module. It is available in the Information Room if you missed the lecture.
March 07, 2000 193.62.96.26 Very thorough over view of ethologists and the study of animal behaviour, a helpful intoduction to this topic
March 08, 2000 141.163.216.109 Great!
March 09, 2000 216.72.26.112 Very good. Wouldn´t you like to talk about INAH-2 and INAH-3 of Hofman, Swaab and Le Vay? What abot Xq28? Could it be possible that most of human homosexual are visual homosexual but not nasal ones. The first because of Xq28 determination (the most important in humans) and the second for Y androgenic (phereromonic too)concentration? If you want to talk abot it, please answer me
March 09, 2000 141.163.90.122 This was an interesting learning resource. I have not been that familiar with using the internet before so this proved to be a valuable experience for me. It loaded quickly and instructions and links were clear.

March 14, 2000 194.177.186.187 VERY SIMPLE TO READ AND INTERESTING
March 14, 2000 128.164.237.53 This is an excellent resource. It was organized clearly and provided the right amount of detail.
March 15, 2000 141.163.71.143 I have been trying to access the connections on the supplementary material (articles in blue text) and having difficulty. I have tried many times on the university computers and each time the response is not found. Do you think that you could check this out to see if you have the same problem. Reply from PK. Sometimes information on other web sites cannot be found because the site is down, or has been moved. One solution is to use a Search Engine (e.g. www.altavista.com ) to look for alternative sources for the information you require
March 16, 2000 141.163.90.129 I'm sorry that you seem to have so profoundly misunderstood my gripe at having to print out lecture material. I was not referring, as you thought, to the syllabus that you handed out in the first lecture. I was in fact referring to the lecture support material (suprise, suprise) for ALL your 337 lectures (the syllabus is pointless without them - I'm sure you'll agree). I have registered your comments concerning the technicians' refusal to allow free printing of this vital material, but I cannot help but feel that you should have considered this before the module began. Furthermore, I realise that there are copies of the lecture support material in the information room and if I were 'computerphobic' as you hinted in the lecture my complaint would still stand as it is equally expensive to photocopy the material. I hope you don't feel that my point is irrelevant now that you have delivered the last 337 lecture this year, and that you will bear it in mind for next years' third years. It is not only our money you have wasted, but also our time. Reply from PK. Most web-based lecture-support material is best viewed on a computer. The university has invested a considerable amount of money to provide computers to support teaching and learning. Using the web to deliver learning resources enables me to deliver more information to students than is possible using conventional paper-based handouts. In addition, colour and animation can be used to facilitate explanation on web pages. Paper copies of web pages will be placed in the Information Room to cater for those students who - for whatever reason - prefer hardcopy.
March 16, 2000 212.140.124.176 very well thought out and clearly presented. Extremely useful.
March 19, 2000 128.227.146.98 Are those the Spice Girls?? Do they belong here? What is this learning aimed towards--Boys??
March 20, 2000 140.97.48.55 Excellent speed and clarity
March 21, 2000 141.163.90.37 Great philosophy apart from missing out the bit about the danger of people putting their head on one side and the information slipping out there ear
March 23, 2000 141.163.90.88 too much waffle to understand clearly. A lot of work to print off and not all info prints off. Takes ages to load up on Netscape and ages to down load from it.
March 24, 2000 pool0331.cvx11-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net Very interesting - just what I was looking for.
March 24, 2000 164.58.66.3 I really enjoyed it...and it made this very understandable. Well done, Gaea Atkinson

April 01, 2000 spider-tn022.proxy.aol.com I think this is very cool. Loading speed is fine and organization is good. Detail and clarity of information is very informative. Please keep it free to access for the public. I really like the pictures and animations. You are a true webmaster. I will be back.
April 02, 2000 98a8714b.ipt.aol.com The animation is a good use of this medium to drive home concepts. Ignorant of the concepts, I studied the material carefully to gain an understanding. I found the material clear and its presentation effective. Loading speed is a problem over a clogged internet and a 56K connection -- so much of a problem that working on-line is not effective. The material needs to be downloaded first in a passive manner then used interactively. Reply from PK. I am currently investigating 'video-streaming' to overcome this problem
April 03, 2000 m512-mp1-cvx1b.man.ntl.com loading speed,detail etc excellent
April 03, 2000 elm51.oac.qub.ac.uk Your tutorials are excellent. Now in my final year, I have used been dipping in to your pages for the past three years. Thank you very much Reply from PK. Greetings to all at QUB. It seems a very long time since I studied psychology there ...

April 09, 2000 inh1ts15-qfe0.ims.bt.net I am a final year student from the university of ulster. Last semester I took a module in psychopharmacology, it was very interesting and covered most of the material on these web pages. I have found these pages very useful-I wish I had known about them before now as they would have helped me a great deal with my last module. I am having problems with the links on these pages. I really need to access the information on the new antipsychotic drugs (link named - "New developments in antipsychotic drug treatment") for a project that I am doing at present, but the computer cannot find the pages linked. I know nothing about computers so I don't know what is wrong. However, I must thank you for these pages as they have been of great use to me.LYNN STRAND UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER Reply from PK.

April 15, 2000 205.188.198.37 I found your site while searching for information on "female" libido. It would appear that most of the research is still favoring male. I would truly like to know why just about "all" research favors studying and treating male sexual dysfunction. Surely there is more to a mans sexual drive than lack of erection. The fact that you mention lordosis first says it all.....
April 18, 2000 1cust253.tnt1.baton-rouge.la.da.uu.net it is very concise and worth the time to study and lacks pondering because of it's clarity
April 22, 2000 208.130.59.254 The page is way too long -- each lecture should be on a separate page.
April 27, 2000 5.human.bio.msu.ru I am very interested in maternal behaviour and mother-pups interaction.
