I want to use the Kingsfield procedure for my courses next quarter. Does any

my syllabi this weekend. Thanks!

Hi Rod, the "Kingsfield" format or socratic approach may be difficult
in an undergrad context as it usually implies a degree of commitment and
work that is not the norm these days with the emphasis on nurturing and

I'm a huge fan of Dave Myers' texts - I've used both Social and Intro.
(He's a TIPSter as well.) Students love them too. I've used many other
texts in the past, but find the student-friendly writing, the strong
emphasis on relating to current issues and the intelligent research make

I used a modified version of the Kingsfield procedure in my Biopsych class one

Far from it.

Dear Diana,
We have used David Myers' textbook for 2 years after using Atkinson
et al. and Zimbardo ( Gerrig).
Overall, it has been a good choice. Students like the text and we
are happy with it. We like the mixture of science, illustrations
(examples) and the international perspective.

I've used this modification of the Kingsfield procedure in my freshman General Psych
class with similar results. My students were either ambivalent or very anxious about
it. Having the opportunity to earn extra credit points didn't seem to be very
reinforcing for them. I suspect that the
