Intro Psych Wrap-up!

April 21, 2008

Intro Scholars,

Remember that to calculate your exam score take 75% of your individual test score and add to that 25% of your collaborative exam score.

I’ll be handing back your exams today. The descriptives for our third exam score are a mean of 66.6 and a standard deviation of 8.9. That means a C was anything between a 62 and a 71. B’s are anyting between 72 and 78, A’s anything above 81. D’s range from 56 to 61.

Remember to correct your exams as prep for the final. It is important that you do this on your own if you are interested in learning the material.

Intro Exam!

April 14, 2008

Our individual exam over learning, memory, and cognition is today. Collaborative exam on Wednesday.

The exam follows the honor code. It is closed book, closed note, closed neighbor. A proctor will be there for me and I am telling her to confiscate the exams of anyone with wandering eyes…. so look straight ahead and if you believe there are cheaters around you… cover your scantron.

Remember to study as you take the exam. Think about the questions and prepare for Wednesday. Almost everyone is in great shape to pass the class and many of you are in a position to get really high marks. I’m so so proud :-)

Scholars,

We will wrap up Memory today and get started on Cognition. We will finish up with cognition.

Let’s all get on the same page with our text and our cognition material. I am only going to be lecturing on and testing on the cognition material. YOU ARE NOT responsible for the language material in the second half of the chapter.

That being said the language material is very important and I would encourage you to read about it. If you take a human development class in the department a great deal of time will be devoted to language (especially language development).

See you guys later, prof_chuck

Here is the break down as we continue to learn and move forward…

A — 72 + (N=7)

B — 64-70  (N=10)

C — 52-63  (N=27)

D — 44-51  (N=10)

F — <43  (N=3)

here we go… we’ll take a few minutes to get organized and moved around at the beginning

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.

Neuriscience and S&P news

Hey Intro Psych Scholars,

I pretty sure we’ll need both of our classes this week to finish up the material, so look for a change in our time line… Individual exams on Monday the 3rd and collaborative exams on Wednesday the 5th.

I am still a little embarrassed… I should have look more carefully at the exam before I sent it off to the copy machine.

Let’s try it again today. I am setting aside several hours this morning to fight with the printer ;-)

I may try to do a brief introduction to neuro on Wednesday, then have you guys do the group exam. Alternatively, I might do some memory stuff, because I really want you guys to understand how my testing scheme aids your learning. Perhaps get it in early enough in the semester to help you.

See you this afternoon. Stay Dry.

P.S. Intro students don’t forget to read your intro blog. I may not cross post everything to the general blog.

Intro Psych Test today
