Wolf said that she was worried that Psych 1might not be taught again before she graduates.

But Kosslyn said that if the department foundsomeone else to teach it for the 1996-97 schoolyear, Hackman could return to teachingorganizational psychology.
"We wish there was a way to offer this popularcourse, but intro to psych is the beginning of thesequence so it has to be taught," Kosslyn said
