cognitive psychology

How does a brain work? Is it applicable to this project?

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.

Scholars,

Can someone problem solve VISTA?

I’ve compiled an exam and am currently waiting on VISTA to come back online so I can upload it. It should be fixed before our class time this afternoon. Should it not be, check back here for further instructions. The test is a bit shorter, I’m looking at 75 minutes of class time so you should be able to do a bit of learning during the exam period. Work Smart!

It looks like VISTA is down for a bunch of state universities:

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Armstrong Atlantic State University
Bainbridge College
College of Coastal Georgia
Darton College
Fort Valley State University
Gainesville State College
Georgia Gwinnett College
Georgia Highlands College
Georgia Southern University
Georgia Southwestern State University
Gordon College
Kennesaw State University
Medical College of Georgia
Middle Georgia College
North Georgia College & State University
South Georgia College
