Here is the assignment handout for Current Events in Personal Law (1st Semester) & Psychology (2nd Semester)!

REMINDER - these are due every other Thursday by 2:30. You will submit your response through Google Forms. No, you cannot make these up late. Why? Because last week's current events are old news!

Many of these podcasts have been submitted by students to be added to the list. Students are encouraged to branch out and listen to multiple points of views to enrich their understanding of social studies courses. Below are more than 50 podcasts, with links to listen. They can range from 10 minutes to several hours in length! Please note - Due to the broad coverage of topics, podcasts may contain sensitive topics, explicit language and context.
