[tips] Fwd: Essay on importance of class size in higher education | Inside Higher Ed
You may have heard some researchers arguing recently that class size does not matter to learning (a view that governments, always keen to cut costs, are happy to endorse). It turns out that what you choose to measure is the critical factor. Class size matters to nearly every variable apart from straight information-transfer. In formation is important, to be sure, but it is hardly the whole ball of wax. Here is a summary of a study that shows what large classes lose. http://www.insidehighered.com/views/2013/01/29/essay-importance-class-size-higher-education Chris ...

And the most glaring omission from the syllabus is any mention of how many times one can use one of my grandparents died excuse during the semester. Clearly, a newbie.

[tips] teaching clinical/developmental psych website?
Gary's question about a clinical psych listserve reminded me that I wanted to inquire about the existence or development of a teaching clinical psych website (as well as other psych areas). As you may know, there are some very good websites for the teaching of different courses in psychology, including: Personality -- http://personalitypedagogy.arcadia.edu/pmwiki/pmwiki.php Stats and Research Methods -- http://www.teachpsychscience.org/default.asp Ed Psych -- http://teachingedpsych.wikispaces.com/ Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience -- http://gocognitive.net/ Introductory Psychology -- http://www.intropsychresources.com/ Attraction and Relationships -- http://www.scienceofrelationships.com/ (not as much a teaching site, but includes teaching resources) Social Issues -- http://makingconnections.redlands.edu/ Social Psych -- http://jfmueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/crow/ Does anyone know of good teaching sites for other areas of psychology, such as clinical or developmental? If you would like to develop such a site, as an individual or a team, there is help out there for you. Some of the above sites got started with an APS Teaching Fund grant. Additionally, as the creator of the social psych site above, I have some experience in this and would be willing to help you get started. Faculty have found these teaching sites to be quite valuable, and it would be nice to see us expand their offerings. Jon === Jon Mueller Professor of Psychology North Central College 30 N.

[tips] Need some humor help
Dear TIPSters, I am looking for films or film segments that I could show in my laughter, humor, and mirth class. At this point I have covered Freud's psychoanalytic view and Gruner's superiority model (and related ones) and would like to show an example or several. Do any of you have suggestions for films that might fit the description? Feel free to suggest activities, too. I have several guest speakers lined up, but would really like some hands-on activities.
