[tips] Eyewitness testimony to be examined by Supreme Court
Hi NY Times has short article on eyewitness testimony, which will be considered by Supreme Court. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/23/us/23bar.html?nl=todaysheadlinesemc=tha24 The wheels of science turn slowly, and of justice even more slowly (at least on some matters), but they do turn.

[tips] Wrong grade assignment
If through some typo or other error you assign the wrong course grade to a student (The student actually got a B but the grade report showed an A) would you still go ahead and initiate a grade change and inform the student of the downgrade? I have had this happen to me with some students from the Middle East where names could have a high degree of similarity except for the middle initials. Can you imagine having a student named Khadafy in class? He can spell that name as Qaddafi or some other tribal variation. Some Latin American students tend to have long names and may use different surnames or even first names.(Maybe Alex and Jose' can come in on this) Re what Ed stated about a department chair assigning students to a course for extra cash,I knew a prof who would only adopt texts by a certain ethnic group and she would get some kickbacks for adopting the texts and other materials. Re the possibility of grade change again.Maybe grade reports should go out with this caveat: This grade report may be subject to change.

RE:[tips] Peer advising
I don't know if this is an option for you, but one place I worked we had a graduate student trained in advising -- the purely mechanical part -- and could clear students to enroll (it was a job). If students had *real* advising needs, they'd come to a faculty member. But for the most part, that didn't happen. We had 1800 majors and 27 faculty, many of whom were concerned only with their grad students and didn't have relationships with undergraduates (and thus did no advising). We would have been killed if all the students had come to us. But as I say, this may not be the sort of arrangement that would work for you. But I don't think we could have survived without it. m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of Behavioral and Health Sciences College of Arts Sciences Baker University -- -Original Message- From: Deborah S.

[tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
True story: So, I'm in the NYU library talking to the reference librarian and one of the security guards comes over and tells us The building is being evacuated, you have to leave. I looked at the librarian and she at me and we clearly didn't know why. The librarian told the guard There's no alarms going off, why should we leave? The guard said The alarms will go off shortly but you have to leave now. The guard didn't offer any additional information. Well, after 9/11, if someone tells me to get out of a building, I'm going to get. It was several minutes after I left the library that I hears about the earthquake.

RE: [tips] Research Methods Ethics - Target Article for Discussion
Hi Mike I use a great case study (available online - maybe a tips suggestion from years ago). It always generates good discussion and students often disagree about the ethical aspects and how various considerations should be weighed (e.g., the likely contribution of the study). My lab manual questions are below. Marie Lab #22: Ethics Involving Research with Humans Purpose The purpose of this lab is to give you experience wrestling with particularly thorny ethical issues that can arise in psychological studies. Preparatory Assignment (read and complete prior to lab) This lab assignment has two parts. First, you should read Leary's Chapter 14. Especially pay attention to the APA guidelines for the conduct of research, including cost-benefit analysis, informed consent (when is deception OK?), invasion of privacy, freedom from coercion, protection from physical and psychological harm, confidentiality, and debriefing. Second, you should go to this website: http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/files/racial_bias.pdf and answer the questions below. Write the answers on this sheet (this is your homework assignment for lab). Answer the question for each part BEFORE going to the next part. 1.Read Part I then answer this question: What additional information do you need to determine if the study is ethical? 2.Read Part II then answer this question: Do you think the research proposal described in Part I is consistent with federal guidelines for the approval of research with human subjects and the ethical principles outlined in The Belmont Report? If no, what specific problems do you see? 3.Read Part III then answer this question: Which of the 6 concerns raised do you agree with? Which do you disagree with? Remember that the task of the IRB is to evaluate the ethical aspects of the study (following the principles outlined in the Belmont Report). Read Part IV then answer these questions: If you were a member of the IRB, would you approve the study as is, disapprove the study, or approve contingent on certain specific changes in the research protocol? In the latter case, what changes would you require? Laboratory Session In the lab we will discuss the ethical issues raised by this case study.

Re: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I live in Fredericksburg, VA, close to the epicenter. My car has lots of warning lights and this morning the Check Tire Pressure light came on (this is relevant to the story). At the time of the quake I was in the car going to the grocery store and the car started acting funny - like it was losing tracking. I thought that I'd better get the tires checked and proceeded to the store. As I was walking into the store I noticed a lot of people standing on the sidewalk outside the store and wondered what was going on. As a passed on of the cars in the parking lot, an elderly woman called out to be and said that she was sitting in the car waiting for her husband, and all of a sudden the car started rocking back and forth. She asked if I knew why that would happen and, of course said no. I shopped, checked out, got back in my car and the radio was talking about the quake. At that time there were reports that the epicenter was in Richmond, Caroline County, Fredericksburg, and Ashburn, VA. The pentagon was evacuated (would have loved to see that) and Germanna CC where I teach, and NOVA CC north of me have both closed for the day. And I still don't know what all the fuss was about.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I was in the home of a colleague; we were preparing for the new semester with an all day retreat for a committee. As the event happened we thought it was an out of balance washing machine shaking the house. Our host was a little upset at the possibility as the washing machine was not supposed to be in use. I should have checked the mountain on my way home to make sure that Falwell's University is still standing. This is the second earthquake that I have experienced in Lynchubrg. The other was much milder and centered on a fault that is closer to us. Dennis -- Dennis M. Goff Charles A.

RE: [tips] WoooHoooo! EARTHQUAKE!
I have only one word for you folks on the east coast: WIMPS! LOL! I think it is wise to evacuate ANY building that is not constructed to earth-quake code; although here is the down side: if the falls, it falls on you. Or if some small pieces break off and fall, they fall on you ;) Sway is good: it means the building is moving with the quake. But still, things get dislodged and get tossed around. I remember after one of the bigger quakes, I left my second story apartment because it was swaying REAL good--a MUCH older building--and when I went back in stuff that had fallen out of my medicine chest had turned the handle on the faucet. What a mess. I was just getting ready to make breakfast and had scrambled eggs on the floor of the kitchen from that one as well. You get (sort of) used to it. I'm waiting for the big one to hit that fault that runs from Chicago to St. Louis. When some of those large skycrapers in Chicago start to topple, that will be interesting ;) Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
