cognitive psychology

Scholars,

Nice job on the independent tests. I hope you went back and reviewed the material afterwards. Always give your hippocampus a fighting chance.

Today I will be putting you into groups of three at 8a.m…. when our class/test starts. Work together and learn from each other. This is a closed book / closed note exam, but you will have three brains. By my calculations that’s about 2 and 1/2 brains to many for this task.

I have not released your independent tests yet becasue I want everyone to be equals during this collaborative process. The most poorly prepared participant may be able to explain a concept or two to the best prepared participants.

On Monday I’ll pass these exams back and I encourage you to get back together with your group and find the solutions to answers that evaded all of you. Remember we still have a final exam coming up.

My very favorite module is coming up. I believe we’ll have a lot of fun looking at memory. We’ll be doing lots of phenomenological work so come prepared to participate.

I think the presentations went very well this morning. Going first can be scary. I expect the next two groups to learn from this experience and keep raising the bar…

The formatting was much improved over last semester’s work. Keep on thinking about the reader. Additionally, I think it’s OK to place words about a link on the page rather than a full URL. Full URLs are probably best for referencing, but you might want to think about shrinking the font on those so that the don’t wrap on the page, etc.

You should also think about working from the site, rather than as a logged in editor. This is what others will see, your links will work in a more natural way, and you’ll have more room on the scree with the editing tools removed.

Don’t forget to introduce yourself.

One last thing on my mind, I really thought the presentation of brain parts/mods/areas went well. It was simple material, but I liked that it was written and shared in thorough way on the site, then presented not by reading words, but by using images. We can all go back and read the info ourselves. Your shared info and your presentation can be different things.

Cog Scholars,

Since we finished our work together why don’t we make tomorrow a work day for the collaboration folks. All of you know who you are in groups with (check your email). Since this is our first go at it, I think it will be justified and then we’ll have a great presentation/study session on Thursday. Everything should be top notch and groups 1a & 1b will place the bar way up there…

This is not likely to happen for our other groups (mods 2 & 3) so you guys should consider getting together as well. Coffee in the library is always nice.

I’ll be in tomorrow morning to help and solve some problems.

Best, prof_chuck

Here is the link….

I hope to see everyone this afternoon. I realize that many of you choose not to come to class and learn with me, I only hope you can give your peers more respect. In addition, I hope that they have created a great resource for you and that we can all learn something

I’m heading up to HNS for a meeting, but plan on returning in plenty of time to test with you guy @ 3:55.

Go ahead and mess up the desks into your groups.

Is everyone prepared for the collaborative quiz today?

I have kept you in your groups (to a degree) so you can build some relationships. I will mix it up on later exams.
