[tips] List of Psychological Studies the Public Might Know
Michael, I read your request differently. I read it as What do people know about psychology, but didn't know there is a psychologist and perhaps a book or a study related to what they know. You can probably phrase it better than I. For example, memories are reconstructed malleable and are not photographs of isolated events. Based on the work of Elizabeth Loftus and her studies. Parents may inadvertening reinforce certain fears and behaviors. Based on the work of Thorndike and later Skinner. The first part of my examples list the behaviors that people know. The second part is the intellectual or based on the studies and books of..

Good point about how while Beck is on the list, probably fewer people have heard of him than have heard of David Burns' Feeling Good book. Man who mistook his wife for a hat (and the Awakenings movie) are good ideas. Washoe is a great suggestion Regarding Thomas Capo's comment that we might be deviating a bit from the intent of the list: I have to say that it's been difficult for me to keep to the original intent of the list. The idea behind the list and the episode is to just point out to listeners that they are more familiar with psychologists and psychological studies than they might think at first. It's been tough to keep off the list studies and people that I think (or wish) the public SHOULD know from those that they probably DO know. That's where Loftus' work would probably fall - her work is classic and more of the public should know it, but I'm going to guess that they've never heard of her or her studies. That's why perhaps a different list should perhaps be compiled, consisting of Studies We Wish the Public Knew At any rate, it looks like the list is about 95% complete, since we're it's becoming harder to decide whether to add something or not. If it's getting this hard to decide then probably the list is useful enough as it is.

But words to the wise: At Plymouth State University, where I'm an adjunct, we received the following reminder which I think clearly addresses possible problems with Annette's suggestion: 1. It is against faculty policy to allow any student the opportunity to do any extra work over and above that described in the syllabus, to influence his or her grade, when the same opportunity has not been made available to all students. 2. No student may be permitted to perform extra work after final grades have been submitted to improve his or her grade. 3. Final grades may not be changed unless there has been (a) an error in computing the grade or (b) a documented violation of the Fair Grading Policy. Do other institutions have this policy? I think it's a good one, and it saves us the extra pressure from students once they get a look at their grade and think they could possibly get it changed by doing some after-the-fact extra credit. Then we're stuck with the poop load of extra work.

[tips] you may find Tuesday's Frontline interesting.
COMING TUESDAY: The Medicated ChildAirs Nov 3rd, 9PM ET (check local listings) This week's FRONTLINE broadcast proceeds from an astounding fact: Some six million American children are taking increasingly powerful prescription drugs whose effects have not been fully tested--even in adults. Is this good medicine for families who are often desperate for solutions, or an uncontrolled experiment involving children sometimes as young as four years old? In this affecting film, a rebroadcast of The Medicated Child, FRONTLINE producer Marcela Gaviria focuses on a few of the more than one million children now being given a controversial diagnosis-- bipolar disease, a condition which, until recently, had only been thought to exist in adults. The film paints an intimate portrait of these troubled kids on the edge, as their families struggle with treatment decisions that raise fundamental questions about when and how child psychiatrists should intervene. Threaded throughout are Gaviria's interviews with medical experts, researchers, and federal regulators, who she presses about the promotion, testing, and efficacy of these new psychiatric drugs for children.

For examples,the fear of retaliation of anyone who gets involved or call the police is a cloud hanging over black folks.Snithchers can be easily located and severely punished.Breaking up a fight can be perceived as inviting oneself to face danger or even death. White folks,on the other hand,are not easily traced since they may not domicile in the immediate or or proximate environments. I also think that white interventionists may experience guilt if they do not intervene and there is the implicit motivation to be viewed as a hero. And I am speculating that the issue of familiarity and unfamiliarity and how those constructs influence bystander intervention should be addressed. I would like to put out the idea that in the Chicago case vigilant black folks were so familiar with those type of situations and the implications that they did not interfere.On the other hand,it couild be that unfamiliarity increases the possibility of bystander assistance.Interesting idea,eh?

[tips] Dateline: autism vaccines
Coming up on Dateline Sunday: NBC News' Matt Lauer takes an unprecedented look at the emotional debate surrounding vaccines and the suggested link to autism. Lauer speaks exclusively with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, whose 1998 medical study was the first in the world to suggest a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism. The British doctor has since influenced the lives and stirred the passions of millions of parents worldwide looking to solve the mystery of what causes the complex developmental disorder. But Dr. Wakefield's theories have also raised serious questions from the media and the medical community. Lauer interviews investigative journalist Brian Deer, who wrote a critical report for London's Sunday Times in 2004 detailing what he said were potential conflicts of interest that Dr. Wakefield had never revealed. Lauer also talks with Dr. Paul Offit, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and expert on vaccines who has spoken out on behalf of vaccine safety in the United States. Now, Dr. Wakefield reacts to his harshest critics on the controversy that began over a decade ago. Lauer also reports on Dr. Wakefield's most recent work in the United States and the medical community's continuing search for the cause of autism, including new studies from researchers working to understand the disorder that affects 1 in 150 American children.

Let me just say that at a particularly serious moment mid-way through the semester, he openly challenged me big time. He wantonly and knowingly broke an inviolable rule. He had his cell phone turned on, was sneaking peeks at text messages coming in, and was text messaging under the desk. Three times out of the corner of my eye I saw him doing it. I called him out. Parts of our on-going exchange went almost verbatim something like this: Sam, what do you have there? Nothing? You using your phone? No, I knew he lied to me, but I let it pass for the moment and got back to reading the riot act to the class in an unriotous way. At the end of the class period, as the students were filing out, I caught Sam by the arm Using your cell phone before? I quietly asked. Yeah, he admitted. I merely said, You know the rules. Four dozen donuts. Next class. Then, his challenging sassing session began. I'm not buying them. Students stopped, looked, and listened. Were you were using your cell phone? I asked quietly. Did you break the rules? Worse of all, did you lie to me? Four dozen donuts I don't have the money. Then you shouldn't have taken the risk of being taught. Four dozen donuts. What if it was an emergency? I'm not bringing them in! You know the rules about cell phones. They're in the syllabus. I told you about them first day of class. I tell you everyday to shut those suckers off. And, when mine went off in class last week, I brought in donuts. Four dozen donuts. With an in-your-face posturing, he loudly said, I'm paying your salary. I sure as hell am not going to feed your mouth. Calmly I responded, Four dozen donuts. Next class. And if I don't bring them? There are always consequences to breaking the rules. They're not my rules. They're mine. Four dozen donuts. Next classroom. What are you going to do if I don't? You gonna kick me out of the class? You gonna lower my grade? Huh? Huh? The gauntlet lay on the ground. I kept cool but firm All eyes were on me. I had a slight smile on my face, shuck my shoulders a bit, and replied with a nod of my head, I picked the gauntlet up by quietly saying, That's for me to know and for you to worry about for the rest of the semester. But, you don't really want me to be an unhappy camper. Four dozen donuts! Next class! I can still drop this course without you hurting me. That's your decision, but that will cost you a lot more than four dozen donuts. He stumped out with a muttering, I ain't bringing in no donuts. The other students left buzzing. That wasn't the end of it. As I walked home, Sam was sitting on the lawn surrounded by three young ladies. He yelled out to me with a smirk on his face and a sarcasm in his voice, I still ain't bringing in no donuts. Then, everyone laughed. I stopped, turned, walked over to him, swatted down, and with a firm voice and a stern face replied, You don't want to try me. I'll go to your department head or dean, he said with another snicker as he turned to the giggling girl.'' I knew he was showing off. Again, coolly and firmly I merely responded with a less than happy look on my face, I told you at the beginning of the semester that I have had a hooded Klansman threaten me with a loaded shotgun when I was protesting a Klan meeting in Durham back in the sixties.

[tips] Sandy Price
Sandy was a frequent contributor to TIPS... Sandra Price, 1943-2009: Teacher at Oak Park-River Forest Across subjects and time zones, she led people to learning By Joan Giangrasse Kates | Special to the Tribune July 28, 2009 When the psychology teacher at Oak Park-River Forest High School retired in the mid-1990s, the principal turned to a history teacher, Sandra Price, to take over the class. Engaging by nature and ever resourceful, Mrs. Price crammed over the summer to become certified for the 1994 fall school term. She read as much as she could and worked the subject into nearly every conversation she had, said her husband of 40 years, Larry, with a laugh. Up until then, her background in psychology was limited to the one course she had taken in college. Flash forward nine years of teaching psychology at Oak Park-River Forest High School and Mrs. Price's classes had become so popular that enrollment swelled nearly tenfold, an advanced placement component was added, and additional instructors were hired to meet the growing demand. She brought so much enthusiasm to everything she taught, said former colleague Ellie Marquez, a retired Oak Park-River Forest High School history teacher. The only thing she showed more enthusiasm for were the students themselves. Mrs. Price was a teacher at Oak Park-River Forest High School from 1984 to 2003. In the early 1990s, she traveled to Japan to attend a conference as part of a delegation of Illinois high school history teachers. In 2008, Mrs. Price returned from a three-year stay in France, where her husband worked at a laboratory across the border in Switzerland. There she helped organize a support group for spouses of American physicists aimed at helping them adapt to their new surroundings. Everywhere she went she was seen as someone who could do just about anything, said her husband. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer while still living in France, Mrs. Price returned to the United States with her husband in August and settled in La Grange. --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)

Of possible interest to psychologists is the effect of anosmia on hunger. Teaser at http://personal.ecu.edu/wuenschk/Anosmia-Hunger.htm . Usually the gustatory sense remains intact after such an accident, so it is a bit more than texture and temperature. In my experience, the flavor of foods in the absence of olfaction is like seeing a rainbow in black and white. It is not just the experience of foods that is altered, however, When I lost, and then regained, my sense of smell, I learned that many of our interactions with the natural world, especially with other people, are, in part, olfactory. Some of those who have lost their sense of smell greatly miss that olfactory component, and fall into depression as a result of the anosmia. Cheers, Karl W.

In this emotional, one-hour film--praised by the Chicago Tribune for exploring in depth the challenges that bedevil even well-meaning counselors, in and out of the military, trying to help returning veterans of the war in Iraq-- producer Raney Aronson explores the psychological toll of war on combat soldiers who've returned home, and investigates whether the military has been doing enough to help them. This is the most damaging type of war psychiatrically, combat veteran and counselor Jim Dooley tells FRONTLINE. You have no protection anywhere at all times... And you're also witnessing death at an incredibly close range. When you are finally back here, and you make connection with your safety, which is your family--that's when you begin to vibrate with the fact of where you were. Nobody comes back from combat unchanged, a top Defense Department official in charge of mental health tells FRONTLINE. [Soldiers] will have expectations about what their families are going to be like. Their families have expectations about what they're going to be like. And the one thing that is absolutely true about all of those expectations is that all of them are going to be wrong. We hope you'll join us Tuesday night. In the meantime, visit our Web site to sample the report online, read some of the hundreds of letters we've received about the film, and get updates on the soldiers we profiled, and how the military is dealing with this ongoing issue. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/heart/ Ken Dornstein Senior Editor Funding for FRONTLINE is provided through the support of PBS viewers.

[tips] Frontline coming up
You might find this episode interesting for class. Jim FRONTLINEhttp://www.pbs.org/frontline/ - This Week: My Father, My Brother, and Me (60 minutes),Feb. 3rd at 9pm on PBS (Check local listings)- Live Discussion: Chat with correspondent Dave Iverson, Feb. 4th, 11am ET Parkinson's arrives without fanfare, journalist Dave Iverson says at the start of this week's FRONTLINE broadcast. You're jogging at the gym one day and you happen to notice that one arm isn't swinging the same as the other. In time, other signs accumulate: a leg starts to tingle, a finger begins to tremble... In My Father, My Brother and Me, airing Tuesday night and available to watch online right now - http://www.pbs.org/frontline/parkinsons/ - Iverson sets off on a personal journey to understand the disease which afflicts him now, and which struck his father and brother years earlier. As Iverson probes his own story, and tracks decades of efforts to understand and cure Parkinson's, he meets some remarkable people: a leading researcher whose encounter with frozen heroin addicts led to a major breakthrough, a Parkinson's sufferer given a new lease on life by an experimental brain surgery, and a geneticist who's identified some of the faulty genes responsible for Parkinson's, and is now working on drugs to fix them. Iverson also has intimate conversations with fellow Parkinson's sufferers like writer Michael Kinsley and actor Michael J. Fox, whose extended video interview we've posted as well - http://www.pbs.org/frontline/parkinsons/view/fox.html The story couldn't be more timely. Any day now, President Obama has promised a much-anticipated reversal of the federal ban on embryonic stem cell research - put in place in the early days of the Bush presidency - that has slowed advances on Parkinson's, as well as a number of other diseases. We hope you'll sample the program online now, then join us Tuesday night for the PBS broadcast.

RE: [tips] Dave Myers' text
Hi all, I just returned from NITOP where David Myers gave a few speeches as he has all over the world. I have known the man for many years. He told me Frank Vatano may be the nicest man in Psychology. That may be so, but there is one other person who is nicer (I think), and that is David himself. He is generous with his time, writings, and encouragement. He is always willing to stop, listen, and talk with others whether he knows you or not! I can't believe anyone would suggest otherwise. His book has changed quite a bit in the past few years, including more cross-cultural material.

I believe my colleagues may have been attempting the extinction techniques we've been not-so-obliquely discussing online. But I see that Michael has already used up his three posts for the day, so I'm happy to concur that Dave's textbook is a terrific one. (Actually, I am using both his Intro and Social textbooks at present.) I'd forgotten about his generous contribution of his royalty proceeds, and I'm glad you pointed that out, as he's not the kind of guy to toot his own horn. I've met him at meetings, and find him as warm and genuine as he comes across in his books. He also is quick to respond to any suggestions or questions. I also found his book, A Quiet World: Living with Hearing Loss to be so informative, but told with humor about things like his wife's occasional exasperation when he wouldn't wear his hearing aid, and other human interest stories.

RE: [tips] Nitops
Hi Joan, The weather today in Tampa was very nice in the morning and then it got a little cloudy. The temps hung around 72 degrees. Doug is one of several who helped and nurtured NITOPS. He looks handsome and quite dapper since he recently came back from England. Scott Lilienfeld was at a loss for words :) during his misconceptions about psych speech when he realized he was describing the Little Albert experiments and kept on referring to Albert as Little Hans. Annette Taylor's ( a TIPS favorite) soon to be published paper on misconceptions was mentioned several times by Scott. Wayne Weiten was his usual eloquent self talking about the price and contents of psych books. I heard about but did not see Laura Kings' neuronal demonstration. David Myers was excellent as usual for his speech. He is worth seeing every time. I wish all of you could have been there to enjoy the weather and these wonderful presenters.

As many of you know, Beth Loftus has endured a boatloadof abuse the past decade for her research on the problems with theconcepts of repressed and recovered memories. That abuse reached its peaka couple of years ago when the University of Washington treated her withsomething close to contempt, a situation that prompted Beth to take up aDistinguished Professor position at UC Irvine. The case that started itall--the case of Jane Doe--is now a lawsuit brought forward by Jane Doeherself, probably with the support of some of Beth's detractors. Beth'sexperiences have chilling implications for all of us, not just those of uswho have interests in human memory. (As an aside, if you have read this far and have no idea what I'mrabbiting on about, you can read the excellent series of articles in theSkeptical Inquirer. The piece is called Who Abused Jane Doe? and starts athttp://www.csicop.org/si/2002-05/jane-doe.html Be sure to read thewonderful commentary by Carol Tavris athttp://www.csicop.org/si/2002-07/high-cost.html) Well, some of us have decided that it's about time we threw a party forBeth to thank her for her dedication. She'd be the first one to tell youthat she's too young for a festschrift, so this January, before the 6thmeeting of the Society for Applied Research in Memory Cognition, we'regoing to have an all day tribute and and all night dinner party. I imaginethat some of you won't be able to make the trip, since it's here in NewZealand--but nonetheless, please do think about going to our tribute webpage and writing a message to her. So far we have submissions from othercolleagues, former students, people who recovered memories of abuse andlater recanted, and families torn apart by false accusations, lawsuits andcriminal proceedings. The tribute page is athttp://www.vuw.ac.nz/psyc/sarmac/beth-loftus/tribute.phpWe'll collect them into a book and give it to Beth in January. Thanks.

Towards the end of the book (p. 227), they refer to a young psychotherapist posting on an online discussion for psychologists working in the field of trauma research. In response to the criticisms of his on-line colleagues, the therapist admits that he may have been mistaken in his enthusiasm for a new therapy, noting I used my own practice as validation and allowed my thrill to overtake my critical thinking. Surprisingly, the reference given is to a post to us (that is, TIPS) despite the inaccurate description of our group. The date is given as May 1, 2003. Out of curiosity, I tried to retrieve this post from the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/tips%40acsun.frostburg.edu/) to see who it was who reduced his cognitive dissonance in this uncommon way. No luck. So I wonder if anyone else can locate it, or perhaps remembers who it was who posted that message of humility gained. As an aside, I note that TIPS remains difficult to find.

Some observations on the winter solstice: And I have some observations on your observations 1) [snip] And it may be that it is my haircuts which cause the sun to return. Thank you for the example of spurious correlation that I will use in class. 2) I think the main reason for appreciation of the solstice is that people take it as indicating the point at which the day begins to last just a little bit longer than the day before. It should be noted that the Winter Solstice is an astronomical event: it is the moment when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn, the greatest distance from the equator. The start and end of days is another, more complicated matter. See: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/dark_days But in fact, this point is reached about a week before the solstice. At the latitude where I live, between December 4 and December 15th of this year the sun set at 4:11 p.m. But on December 16, it set at 4:12 p.m. By the solstice yesterday, around here we already had gained a full three minutes of daylight at the end of the day. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Good for you! I hope that you spent the extra minutes of sunlight decorating your Festivus pole! 3) I have to register my protest against the designation of December 21 as the first official day of winter, as we are repetitively told by the media. That may be true when defined in astronomical terms, but in normal and historical usage, winter refers to the three coldest months of the year which, in the Northern hemisphere, are December, January, and February. Strictly speaking, this is not true as it depends upon the calendar conventions used in one's society. Quoting the Wikipedia entry on Winter (standard disclaimers apply: |In Celtic nations such as Ireland using the Irish calendar and in |Scandinavia, the winter solstice is traditionally considered as |midwinter, with the winter season beginning November 1 on |All Hallows or Samhain. Winter ends and spring begins on Imbolc |or Candlemas, which is February 1 or February 2. This system |of seasons is based on the length of days exclusively. (The |three-month period of the shortest days and weakest solar radiation |occurs during November, December and January in the Northern |Hemisphere and May-July in the Southern Hemisphere.) |Also many mainland European countries tend to recognize |Martinmas, St. Martin's day (November 11) as the first calendar |day of winter. The day falls at midpoint between the old Julian equinox |and solstice dates. Also, Valentines Day (February 14) is recognized |by some countries as heralding the first rites of Spring (season), |such as flower blooming. |In Chinese astronomy (and other East Asian calendars), winter is |taken to commence on or around November 7, with the Jiéqì known |as (áì lì dōng, literally establishment of winter.) |The three-month period associated with the coldest average |temperatures typically begins somewhere in late November or |early December in the Northern Hemisphere and lasts through |late February or early March. This thermological winter is earlier |than the astronomical definition but later than the daylight (Celtic) |definition. Depending on seasonal lag this period will vary among |climatic regions; typically warm-temperate climates have an earlier |thermological winter than colder climates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter In fact, December 22 (sometimes December 25) has historically been called midwinter's day (and June 21 (or 24) is midsummer's day). How can winter have just begun if it's already midwinter? Because it depends upon the culture's conventions for dating astronomical and seasonal events?

RE: [tips] Out of Work for Doing Extra Work? :: Inside Higher Ed
Hi everyone, I found the article rather interesting as an adjunct for the past 26 years at many diverse schools and populations. One time I took over the classes of an instructor who became ill. I tried to follow the syllabus, but the students complained that I wasn't fair. All I did was to make-up rubrics for essay questions (previously they not were used), establish a grading scale (previously there wasn't one), and tried to enforce what was in the syllabus. Several students said I wasn't fair for doing that. Being an adjunct is not easy. Sometimes there is very little communication between the adjuncts and full-time staff members. Once I wanted to use an intro text that the full-time instructors used. I was told I could not do that because adjuncts had to use a different text.

There are several reasons why this happens, and listing some of them for you to think about--and maybe do something about--may save you some hassle, disappointment, and grief. In fact, most introductory level courses will be more difficult than many students imagine for these same reasons. The first reason Intro Psych is a tough course is that we will cover a very broad range of topics through the semester, from concepts and ideas that are very biological to others that are very social, from topics that may sound like common sense to others that are challenging technical areas. Each of those topical areas will have its own vocabulary and concepts to learn, enough so that some observers claim that Intro Psych requires that a student learn more new terms than he or she would in a semester-long course in a foreign language! A second big reason that Intro Psych turns out to be extremely demanding for many students is that they have little or no existing knowledge to attach this new content to. Researchers who study memory and the acquisition of knowledge tell us that the more you know about a topic, the easier it is to learn even more (because you will have more things to hook the new ideas, facts, etc., onto in your memory--sort of a Velcro theory). Knowledge grows by becoming woven into the body of your existing knowledge. If you don't know much at the beginning, if you have trouble finding these hooks, it is surely more difficult to make such connections. Take heart, though, if you work at it you can often find aspects of your own real life experience and previous study that do in fact hook into the material you will study in Intro Psych. And as time goes by, you should be able to find connections from new material you encounter to material you studied earlier in the term. Third, some students have to adjust (or learn for the first time!) the study habits needed to match the demands of college work. Some bring adequate or better skills, jump right in, and do just fine. Others, however, may never have had to work very hard at their studies in the past, and now discover that their study habits just don't work in college. Good questioning skills, good listening skills, good note-taking skills, good reading skills, good thinking skills, and--most importantly--good time management skills simply have to be there, if you

I would except students to be knowledgeable about life in general just from reading. Maybe these students, whose *average* GPA in high school (these are incoming freshmen in intro psych and I have all of their admissions data) EXCEEDED 3.8 because of honors and AP classes are getting short-changed? I used a standard item on the learning test and asked for the schedule of reinforcement for various behaviors. I used fly fishing as one item. I got the most outrageous answers: the fish will learn to fly to get fed; you can catch more flying fish; fish will go faster if they fly than if they swim, etc. And then there were at least a dozen students who gave simply incorrect answers without embarassing themselves (probably didn't understand schedules of rf anyway) and another dozen who flat out came up and asked me what 'fly fishing' is. Ok, I let that slide. So now we have another exam, now over the developmental chapter: M A N Y students came up to ask me the meaning of the words innate and longevity and many more missed an item on Head Start. We talked about Head Start in class, but I didn't go into explaining what it is all about. I guess I'm teaching kids whose families would never have qualified and they never heard of it because the exam item required them to go a bit beyond what we talked about and very many of my students couldn't because they had no context for what they had memorized by rote. One of the foils on the multiple choice item referred to middle-class and was clearly incorrect because middle-class children wouldn't qualify for Head Start. Many selected that foil as correct, and wrote in the margin their explanation (I allow this on items the student wants to challenge) and I got all kinds of answers about middle this and middle that. Wow, what's up with all this? I'm feeling either very very old or exceptionally well educated in a broad way.

The interference is a result of the proximity of the two areas of the motor cortex for the same (right or left) hand and foot.

She wanted to take the test and the scan-tron to her meeting with the dept. chair, but I took it back. I did make a copy of her scan-tron for her to take to the dept. chair. She informed me that she has never failed a psychology test before she got in my class (this is her second course in psych). Her test grades are 60, 65, 70, ad 68. Sure enough, after my next class, guess who was at my door? Yep, the dept.chair. She wants me to meet with the girl, and then, if the girl is not satisfied, to meet with her and the girl. Both the dept. chair and I are not sure what exactly the girls wants, unless it is she wants a better grade in the class. By the way, the final exam is Monday. Did I also say she did not hand-in eight assignments? Gosh, I am confused. I have never had a student who questioned me about how a test is graded. Typically I will make up abot 60 questions for a test. I require them to answer 30 questions I have selected and they can pick any 10 questions to answer, which means they have answered 40 questions. What do you think is her motivation?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: tips@acsun.frostburg.edu I suspect we go on a bit too much with these student comments but they a so healing for us all as we move toward this stressful time of the semester. I mean Marc, that's an absolute classic--in my mind I thought . . . Well, a bit scary also but whatever, thank you all for your examples as they provide humor when we need it so. What I get that's always so depressing and tiresome is the following. I give 8 essay tests during the semester so do allow for one make-up during the last week of class. But a too large minority need to ask me which test they missed--or need to make up. ARGH So, from now on my classes will be provided a sheet attached to the syllabus to record their grades for each test and be told they are on their own regarding remembering their test scores. JoanMy favorite is the student who called (after receiving an F) and repeatedly told me, In my mind I passed that class! I repeatedly told him that what happened in his mind wasn't really the point.

I can definitely relate to what you are going through. Every semester I get messages like this. Last semester four of my students have gave me a hard time with their final grades. I tell students in the beginning of the semester that I do not change grades or give extra points to be nice. There are opportunities for extra credit and if my students do not take advantage of that, it is then on them. 1. One student who just made the C cutoff (I have a point scale of 500) had asked me if I could give her a B because she wanted to get into the nursing program. 2. Another student received a C+ and felt that she deserved an A. I event went into detail as to how I arrived at the grade. Her response was That's not fair professor and you know it. If you do not give me the A, I am going to the chairperson and the dean. That will not look good since you are an adjunct. So I then gave her their office phone numbers :). 3. Two years ago a student received a C+ in my class and then emailed me and said That's messed up, I now know what kind of teacher you are. It amazes me how students are bold in their E-mails. It amazes me how bold students are, but I also know that they probably got away with these stunts in high school. It is time for an awakening

Hi everyone, The other day, I watched a PBS show called, Independent Lens. The url is http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/hiphop/. It was really something...crude language, guns popping, poor grammar, poor rhyming of words, misogyny, homophobia, all to be found in the world of hip-Hop. whew! It was unbelievable.

Hey Beth, I had a student who was presenting Loftus' ideas about reconstructed memories. She was using power point. She placed a picture of herself and her brother in front of the Magic Kingdom. She asked how many other students recall seeing Bugs at Disneyland. The hands went-up!
