Aging Scholars,

We are gonna skip Ch5 for now because of the snow day and getting behind. This will get us back on our course outline.

We are set for Attention and Perception this week. I will meet our 3 collaborators on Tuesday. Did you guys actually use the resources to study or to help you find test answers? I’ll be sharing grades on the collaborative by Thursday and giving the scantrons back so everyone can prepare for the final. (P.S. the grades are great, you guys might be the smartest class ever ;-)

I will have the quiz up by tomorrow for chapter 6.

Here’s a note from the Dean of Students:

Aging quiz for chapter 2

January 28, 2008

It is my belief that I set-up your chapter 2 quiz… you should see it at 8 a.m. on Tuesday the 29th… it will be available to take up to 3 times before class on Thursday.

I should record your highest score and I’ve given you 15 minutes for 10 questions this time… you still need to be prepared. Use this as a learning tool.

new aging blog reminder

January 28, 2008

Did everyone see that I created a new blog for aging because of the edublog problems…

http://psychologyofaging.blogspot.com/

It feeds into our VISTA site and you can aggregate it… be sure an check it for updates about our class.

Aging on the 29th…

January 28, 2008

We continue to move forward… thanks for your patients as we recover from the missed snow day.

I am going to UGA tomorrow with Dr. Noble’s Neuro-Scholars and think that I agreed to meet this chapters collaboration group around 11 in my office (I leave town at noon).

I plan on creating the quiz for chapter 2 this morning and uploading it to VISTA… You should see it on Tuesday as available… this week I want everyone to have completed it by class-time on Thursday. That means you should spend quality time with your text on Tuesday (or even before).
