Scholars,

I (potentually) get the honor of being in a video that the university is putting together for recruitment. I guess my hair allows me to represent diversity (I’m sure it’s not the white skin or maleness). I would like to recreate an exercise I do in all my intro psych class… it involves measuring the speed of neural conduction and is a hands on activity.

If you would like to be in the video (and potentually interviewed) be in the psych hallway Monday at 12:15.

In addition to making you famous, you will also learn (or relearn in some instances) a little about neural impulses.

XOXOX, prof_hollywood

So there is a lot of discussion about a new presentation tool called slideshare. Check it out and the commentary on CogDogBlog and TechCrunch.

ALSO…. don’t forget about our old friend thumbstacks…. and you can try Empressr too.

Hello Scholars.

It’s shaping up to be a very busy week.

On Monday we have a psych club meeting. Dr. Lloyd will present on applying for graduate school. Check it out! I’ll be at a meeting on civic engagement.

On Wednesday CLC will meet to plan out the recycling mission in complete detail. I’ll be at the faculty meeting in support of the new Quality Enhancement Plan ( INFORMATION LITERACY!!!!!!!!). Let me know what you need from me. I’m working on the recycling bins as we speak.

In addition, on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 there will be a speaker up in the HNS auditorium speaking on, “Mitochondrial DNA in diabetes, function and malfunction”. I want to check that out. Sounds good.

Intro Psych will be covering Sensation and Perception. The Collaborative Knowledge Development learning community will be covering that too and will be giving their PPT presentation of their survey results on Wednesday. Does anyone need help?

Stats will continue to work on SPSS projects. We’ll catch up to our textbook work on SPSS, then start on independent sample t-tests.

Cognition will dive into a variety of topics related to long-term memory as we finish chapter 5 and start on chapter 6. By the end of the end of the week you guys want be able to believe anything anymore, least of all, your memory. It’s gonna be great fun!

So I’m heading out to Savannah for an information literacy conference.

I hope to return with lots of new torture techniques
If you’ve been in class, then you know what you are supposed to do.

Have a good weekend.

Scholars,

Anyone doing anything? I know of a few that are… check out the call for research from the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR). Here’s the link… everything needs to be in by Dec 1.

Collaborative Knowledge Scholars,

Let’s help everyone get this AlcoholEdu test finished. Work on it tomorrow as your virtual Thursday project.

Hey Scholars (mostly in my learning community / SFCS class),

Here’s the deal on the Alchohol.edu program being run by student affairs.

I am advising you to take the course and at the same time complain about the ethics of it. I’d hate to see a hold put on your banner account preventing you from registering just because of this program that blackmails you to participate.
Part one is supposed to be completed by tomorrow (sept 20th). Suck it up and do it. Perhaps a major project for our learning community would be designing the distribution of this course in a better way.

1. Login in using the following code: 6C140669FIRSTYEAR

2. Be sure and have your NGCSU email and 9 digit ID number ready for the registration page. This will allow the university to know that you have completed this course. If you don’t have a university issued ID don’t even bother taking the course, you won’t get credit. You can log in and out of the course, but be sure and click the next button to start a new section before logging out (or you will have to work through that section all over again ).

Good Luck. As you know I am in the dark and have little to no information about this program. As I find out more I will share it with you.

Collaboration rules… prof_chuck

Edit: I’m taking the course right now. The media is running in a tab while I’m typing this…

2nd Edit: I elected not to use the flash player… I can read the case studies faster than having them read to me.

3rd Edit: Let’s collect the test questions and discuss them amongst ourselves. I will grab some screen captures when I’m finished. You do the same.
