Intro Psych @ NGCSU

Scholars,

We’ll finish up talking about consciousness today. Then we can look at our online booksite and make sure everyone is on the same page with testing. I believe I have created yoru first exam for next tuesday at 2:20p.m.

I will try to make a practice quiz just like it so we can see how it works in class this afternoon. We may also add the twitter application to facebook and practice tweeting.

We will finish our module early today and then focus on UNIV 1000 stuff, specifically twitter. We really need to start building some relationships.

Hello Learning Community Scholars,

Looks like we will finally get started on some psycho content today.

Be reading the modules for our first unit of material. Be sure to aggregate our podcast for psychology.

In addition, don’t forget to acquire a twitter account and share your account info on our UNIV1000 blog as a comment.

Hello Scholars,

I just got back from the family trip to the beach (if you had been in class and listening you would have know this and wouldn’t be emailing me everyday about grades). The grades are looking pretty good and should be in the system with in the next few days.

Unfortunately, one person took the exam on a strange computer in a strange place and it kicked them off half-way through… this means (if I am a nice guy) that I will make them up a new final exam and have them come in to the university and take it which sets us back a few days.

I’m also planning on reviewing the bad questions (or rather bad scoring key) and tossing everyone some points to make up for it… I’m thinking the grades are going to be really good. A large number of people in the class have A’s already, without the points. I, of course, give myself full credit for setting up a learning environment that takes advantage of the way your brain works. Those of you that played along will be positively reinforced. I encourage you to keep up the tricks I shared with you

Don’t forget to come and visit and say hi when you see me wandering around campus… it was a really fun summer.

The grades were great again. How’d you guys like the collab exam. I was just checking to see if you were paying attention and you were.

If any of the database questions got screwed up again this go around, please share with everyone by using the comment function on this post. Make a complete argument and explain why so that the knowledge will stay with you… you shoudl see your grades in VISTA.

IS ANYONE ALLERGIC TO DOGS? We might have a visitor today for our learning class.

See everyone at 3.

Scholars,

I have your exam set up in VISTA. It is hidden now, but will become visible at 3:00 p.m. You will find it between the quiz 3 and 4 links below the blog feed. You will have 75 minutes to complete the exam and submit it. You may use your book and notes. You MAY NOT use other people. This is a learning experience for you.

At 4:30 we will convene in our classroom and take a collaborative exam. I will explain everything about it there. Be sure and wear cool clothing and bring some water. The air is being replace (thus another large crane on campus putting air units on top of Dunlap Hall).

If you don’t see the test after 3 this afternoon, try refreshing the page or logging in again.

Hello Intro Psych Scholars,

Just sending out a reminder note (we’ve added several extra students since Monday).

We are not having class today… I just can’t make it back from my
conference. I want you guys to get the text and start reading. I know
that will be strange, but it will benefit you.

Here are two important links, one to my website and another to my blog… save these links.

Best, Chuck

P.S. I haven’t done anything in VISTA yet… when I do I will post a note on the blog.

Hello Scholars,

By now Dr. Lloyd has told you I’m down in South Georgia. I can’t believe how lucky you all got today… normally I would talk to you for 3.5 hours without taking a breath

I am going to share some links with you that you will need.

My homepage (look at the classes info page for syllabus, outline, and podcasting URL)

…and of course this is my blog. Check here often (I’d suggest you aggregate the feed… Huh?)

We are not going as wide as normal this summer, but what we do cover we will cover deeply.

Best, prof_chuck

P.S. I think that Brad at Dorks has some used copies of our text. Start reading it… don’t waste this week… use it to get ahead and be successful this summer. I will see you on Monday.

P.P.S. take a look at this before we get back together. Complete it.
