Professors in the Wofford College Psychology Department go out of their way to ensure that their courses are both academically superior and fun! One example of how our courses have included fun activities is the Hoop-Rat Classic. The tournament was the culmination of three months of training carried out by Wofford psyc...hology students enrolled in Dr. Alliston Reid's course, Behavior Analysis, as part of its laboratory component.
In fall 2009, a dozen rats were trained to play one-on-one basketball in a miniature court, and the top seven rats made it to the Hoop-Rat Classic finals on Monday, Dec. 7.
