In my experience Freud has never been much more than a

that within most currents of American clinical psychology.

Dear TIPSters,
I think this topic may have been touched on before, but I would like to
get some input.
I have just had my Intro to Psych class finish their midterm exams, and
overall, the class is scoring about 50%.
In previous years, I have curved my exams
For my Intro class I let my students correct their answers on the weekly
quizzes and will give them 50% of the points. The corrections are short
descriptions explaining why the correct answer is the correct answer.

I don't give extra credit but I do offer a make-up policy ONLY to students

students.
For half credit, for MC items they have to write two sentences for me:

Hi all,
I very much enjoy reading the posts on Freud. I see Freud as a lightning
rod for discussions that help to clearly distinguish different
approaches to understanding human nature. I see him as a central figure
in academic psychology, especially in the United States, because of

A now-retired colleague of mine said that "extra" credit work would only make sense after successful completion of the expected work. A student who is failing isn't doing the expected work.
On the other hand, an unusually high percentage of failures suggests that something might be going on
I teach personality theories, and History and Systems, as well as Intro. Freud takes a large amount of the intro section. Apparently psychoanalysis is a major movement or perspective influencing academic psychologists according to these texts--along with behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and

Hi All,
I've gone to using quizzes in each class to try to get students to keep up with the

In support, I cited the sorry history of recovered memory therapy

I appreciate the on-going discussion, but feel the need to re-state my
