BONUS: Personality and intimate relationships. 21 Feb 2017




Some Rights Reserved show

Summary: Some of you may know that last summer I started a new job at Basel University in Switzerland. During the autumn semester, I taught a class on personality and intimate relationships. One thing I had the class do is read research papers and prepare short written assignments on them, in a style similar to my podcast. Several of the students also recorded their assignments, so here is a special bonus episode featuring their work. Almost none of the students are native English speakers, and until now most had summarised research only in formal scientific language, so the project was a real challenge. I am very proud of the effort they put in and hope you enjoy this bonus podcast.Download the MP3 Rate me! Rate, review, or listen in iTunes or in Stitcher. Basel!
