[tips] Do You Teach Intro Psych?
A friend asked me to post this. Looks very cool RJ Dear Colleagues, We are seeking your participation in a National study examining the potential impact of textbooks and associated pedagogy on student learning in the introductory psychology course. It is a very important step in developing an idea of what works for students and teachers in context. This study, and other’s like it, cannot go forward without the support of our colleagues and we have designed it to take into account the busy life of most instructors and students. Specifically, we are in need of participants who are teaching Introductory Psychology during the 06-07 academic year at the Community College or 4-year University level, use multiple-choice exams, do not skip the chapter on Learning and use the following texts: Weiten [brief or full versions] Myers [brief or full versions] Santrock [brief or full versions] Hockenbery [brief or full versions] Zimbardo [brief or full versions] Huffman [full version] Cicerrelli [full version] Participation would include a brief anonymous and confidential instructor’s survey and the encouragement of your students to take an anonymous and confidential survey of their study habits, etc. Student participants will have a chance to win one of *several* iPods and each participating instructor will have a chance to win one of *several* $100.00 American Express gift cards as a token of our sincere appreciation for your time and effort. We are hoping to get a wide variety of participants in this very ambitious cross-sample and are hopeful that you will consider participating in what we feel will be a meaningful and important study. Please contact David Daniel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Regan Gurung ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you would be willing to help out, or have further questions. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Teaching Psych Colleagues, While giving a talk at UVA last week, I finally ran across someone with a reference to what I presume is the original version of my short essay on grading. You can find my version of the essay at: http://www.stolaf.edu/people/huff/classes/social/Apaper.html and, thanks to Alex Checkovitz at UVA, the original source seems to be: Shaw, H.E. (1984). Teaching Prose: A Guide for Writing Instructors (pp. 114-154). New York: W. W. Norton. My version is greatly adapted, but the resemblance is still there. I am reasonably sure this was at least a remote inspiration for the text I produced, if not the source.

Which only shows just how ignorant Limbaugh is. As Michael Sylvester said, those dreadful symptoms exhibited by Michael Fox on camera, called chorea, are not caused directly by Parkinson's but by the medication (probably l-dopa or a related drug) he takes to deal with it. So the accusation would have to be that he deliberately took his medication to tick Limbaugh off (which would sound even sillier than what Limbaugh claimed). If he had gone on without it, he probably would have been frozen, with great difficulty in moving or speaking. The claim that he did it to exploit his disease for political purpose is outrageous. His only hope for anything approaching a normal life is a treament which may result from stem-cell research. The obstacles to this research erected by the Bush administration have a direct and powerful effect on his life. No one is more entitled to speak out in favour of stem cell research than someone in Michael Fox's situation. And Bush parading those frozen-embryo "snowflake children" saved from embryonic mass murder at a press conference wasn't exploitation, of course (see http://tinyurl.com/ybebo3 ).

[tips] RE: Michael Fox/Whole lotta shaking
My understanding of the criticism is that people like Limbaugh are saying Michael Fox purposefully did not take his medication to amplify his symptoms. In other word he expects us (people without disabilities) to be shielded from the effects of those disabilities. So according to Limbaugh and others with similar opinions is that symptom of a disability is an aberration and the "normal" way of presenting oneself should be hiding the disability. Anything Limbaugh says should be held up to scrutiny or ignored. Gary J. Klatsky, Ph. D.

With respect to obtaining older articles (or any articles for that matter), you might check to see if a local public library has a good InterLibrary Loan program.

[tips] Random Thought: Chaos Theory Of Education
Each day, in any given semester, I read anywhere from 120 to 160 daily first-year student journal entries. This morning I read 123. Like most days' entries, some are silly; some are poignant; some are filled with "too much information." Some are short one liners; some are shorter one worders; some are paragraph and pages long; some are superficial; some are reflective; some are deeply personal; some are voices crying out for help. Each entry, each day, reveals clues to the humanity of each student. And, you cannot believe what students are hopped onto, what pressures they are subjected to, what struggles they struggle with, what worries eat at them, what matters weight on them, what demands are demanded of them, what distractions work on them: roommates, friends, jobs, pregnancies, self-discipline needs, sickness, betrayal, fatigue, alarm clocks, parents, grandparents, cars, self-confidence issues, court appearances, sleep, self-esteem issues, boyfriends, time-management, confusion, divorce, discouragement, depression, children, girlfriends, partying, sex, alcohol, sexual preference, Facebook, working out, concerts, holidays, weddings, pets, sorority, fraternity, computer crashes, finances, food, grades, gender issues, drugs, accidents, disease, death, tests, papers, parking, femininity, boredom, masculinity, excitement, homesickness, weather, aloneness, loneliness, crushes, love lost, love gained, distance relationships, being "single," physical abuse, verbal abuse, tanning, prejudice, getting together, nails, breaking up, studying, weight, professors, coaches, GPAs, athletics, majors, hair, career futures, and a host of other slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. And whether an entry makes me smile, laugh, cry, cringe, or shake my head in bewilderment, I must honor each of them, for each is very real to each student and has an impact on each student's classroom performance and academic achievement. This morning, all this reminded me of a joke. A sixty year old man came upon a wax sealed bottle half buried in the sand while walking the beach. Well, you would expect, he picked it up and opened it. Out flew a genie. In gratitude, the freed genie told the man he could have one wish granted. The man thought and thought. He thought of his sixty year old wife to whom he had been married forty years. "I want a wife thirty years younger than me." "Your wish is my command," answered the genie. And, in a puff of smoke, the sixty year old man became ninety. "That's not what I meant," stuttered the now fragile man. "Ah," warned the genie, "be careful what you wish for." Thinking of all that's revealed in the student journals, it's a warning to be heeded in academia as well when it comes to being student-oriented. To be truly learning-centered, to be sincerely student-oriented, to reach the student as a person, to be concerned about each of them as a human being, to see the nobility and sacredness in each of them sounds so neat and simple, doesn't it. It seems to make such an academic sound so virtuous. It seems to makes a practitioner of teaching-centerness and teacher-orientedness, someone who strives only to transmit information sound so immoral. It's that shift of paradigm that supposedly began when Robert Barr and John Tagg called for a shift in higher education from an "instruction paradigm" to a "learning paradigm" in a 1995 issue of CHANGE. This shift, they said, challenged the fairly passive long-standing lecture-discussion format where faculty talk and most students listen that is contrary to all that we have learned about learning in the recent decades. They said that the "learning paradigm" ends the lecture's privileged position. In its place, we should honor whatever approaches serve best to prompt learning of particular knowledge by particular students." Makes sense, doesn't it. Sounds so easy to do. But, is it? Is it as clean and simple as it sounds? Be careful what you wish for. It is not clean and simple, much less easy. So, here are my "messy" and challenging questions: What are the particular students' particular needs? How do you get to know each particular student and of her or his needs? How do you address each of them? Are they merely intellectual? Are they only academic? Are they personal? Are they emotional? Are they all of the above? How do you separate student needs from student wants? How do you help a student change her or his habits? How do you help yourself change your own habits? How do you forge the essential shared vision between teacher and student? Where are the agreed upon essential first principles of teaching, learning, and education in general? What should students be learning? What should be the aim of purpose driven teaching and learning? What should students do with their learning? That is, where is Peter Senge's visionary "
