cognitive psychology

I did not share your grades on the independent exam becasue I want you to be open to learning from and teaching each other on your collaborative exams. I took a quick look and it appears most folks were very successful on the exam.

You can continue to study and learn without the test score as feedback. Be smart and study with wisdom. Might try applying some of what you learned about the memory system to your life. You will be successful an learn the material at the same time.

Scholars,

We have finished the memory material. The collaborative media presentations are set for Thursday, Oct 29th. I am going to give you Tuesday to review (group two can meet and prep, maybe group 3 too). If the review is short on Thursday I might share one or two quick demos with you from the organizational material. Please use your time on Tuesday wisely.

… it is now slightly less tentative

you may find it here. This puts the group 2 presentation on the 29th.

I’ll be sending out a note pertaining to class tomorrow (Thursday 9/8) in a little bit. Check it and follow through.

I’ve set up a blog on our VISTA site to discuss test questions (perhaps some errors in the randomizing of answers. Don’t sweat weird spelling on fill in the blanks.)

Read the directions and work together in that spot. The postings should be anonymous.

What did ya’ll think about the presentation for this test material and the content created for you to study by?

Our first exam is tomorrow during our class time. You’ll have 80 minutes to take this open book, open note exam. You are expected to work alone during this process. Take your time and learn something. I’d suggest you check and make sure your pop up blocker is off. If you successfully taken the practice quiz you should have no technical problems

On Thursday we will take our collaborative exam in class together. Bring a pencil and your brain.

After that we start our module on the greatest topic in all of psychology… memory!

We need to make sure your system and location are working correctly. Don’t wait ’til Tuesday to find out you can’t take the first test.

Additionally, I’m thinking group 1 is going to share some good info tomorrow. See you there.

Scholars,

I just got an awesome email (around 3 am) that someone has canceled and that I may have their seat at TEDxAtlanta. I gotta take it. I’ll need to leave D-town around the beginning of class so I think it would be best if we could just spend this class time reading (perception and attention chapters have lots of info).

I’ll report back on Thursday. Check out the speaker list. : http://tedxatlanta.com/event/speakers-performers/

Only 100 seats… and me with this humid hair day

Thanks for understanding…. Chuck
