The Department of Behavioral Sciences will teach all the sections of its Psych 102 course as open/zero-cost starting in Fall '21 The Department of Behavioral Sciences, chaired by Prof. Debra Swoboda, has done significant work of converting all the sections of its Introduction to Psychology (Psych 102) course in 2021-22 to OER/zero-cost and saving students tens of thousands of dollars in textbook costs in the process. The department has voted to switch to the free and open textbook Introduction to Psychology by Jorden A. Cummings and Lee Sanders (University of Saskatchewan). Open Educational Resources have been one of the foremost solutions to the problem of exorbitant commercial textbook costs, which is closely related to student educational success and retention rates.
