PSY101, Exam 5 is APPROACHING!

Hey there guys and gals,

Exam 5 (Chapters 10, 12, and 13) is quickly approaching. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the Study Guide or Take Home Questions.

In addition, you SHOULD SERIOUSLY consider the chart posted below. You'll DEFINITELY see it on your test. ALSO, you SHOULD SERIOUSLY consider the following...

In two to three sentences,  compare two of the stages – how are they similar, how are they different? (E.g. “In the Ego Integrity vs. Despair stage developed by _____, individuals are facing the challenge of viewing their lives as satisfactory and worth living – focusing on personal achievements and successes. Alternatively, in the Maturity stage suggested by _____, individuals have reached a stage of sexual health and great pleasure, characterized as mutual respect between partners.”

Perhaps if you respnded to this question AT HOME and BROUGHT the answer in with you on test day, I'd ACCEPT IT AS EXTRA CREDIT... Think about it... :)

(photo via postsecret.com)

Hey there guys and gals,

It's official, the attendance log has been loaded to WebCT. Check to see if you're eligible to have your lowest score dropped (PSY101), or if you're exempt (PSY156). Recall, "Y" means YES and "N" means NO. You should contact me if you see something you didn't expect.

Also, there will be NO class on Friday due to the observance of Veteran's Day. Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

PSY156 Reminders

Hi there guys and gals,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Phoenix Forensic Center on Friday night! (SUCH A COOL TOUR!!)

Reminders...

- Your midterm is due today. I'll accept it via email until 5p tonight. Thanks!
- We start our You Don't Know Jack video and discussion this week. We will return to personal stories next week!
- If you would like to reach Keri, our AMAZING tour leader, you can contact her at her address pasted below. She requested you identify yourself, including your name, the date you visited, what class, who your instructor was, etc.

PSY101 Reminders for Exam 4 (Chapters 8, 9, 11)

Reminders:

1. Forensic Development Extra Credit: For 5 points, write 3-4 sentences discussing the case study you received in class and what psychosocial stage (Erikson) your individual may have missed. What implications does this have for their adulthood? (If this interests you at all, enroll in Forensic Psychology, available at both the Red Mountain and Dobson & Southern Campuses!!!)

2. Be sure to send over any study guide questions you  have before the test (Friday for MWF students, Tuesday for TR students).

3. Take a look at the GENIE WILEY extra credit opportunity, pasted just a few posts below this!

4. Review the CRITICAL PERIODS chart. You'll probably see it on the test. Pay special attention to the first few weeks of development, and the development of the Central Nervous System!

We're VERY close to the end of the semester! Yikes!!!
