books and extra credit

*I know that it'll be tough to part with your beloved David Myers textbooks, but please do so by the end of next week. If you hand it in by Friday May 28th, I'll give you five extra term points because it saves me some time and hassle. Otherwise, I need it by the day of our scheduled final (Tuesday June 1st) or I'll have to send a hold slip to the house office.


Psychology Olympics extra credit opportunity:

For 10 extra credit points on term 4, please design a competition that we can use in the Psychology Olympics. It can be something more knowledge-based or a physical trial of some sort (but remember: people aren’t going to be wearing gym clothes, so don’t plan anything too active). Your activity should be purposeful but also fun and engaging, so be creative!
Please hand in a brief, typed write-up that explains:

--How the event will run: will it be an individual or team competition? What are the step-by-step procedures? How long will it take? How is the winner determined?

--What materials are needed

-- The goal of the activity and how it relates to psychology (thoughtfully choose and apply 3 key terms in this part)

Due by next Tuesday May 25

final project

Here's the description of the final project. E-mail me or talk to me tomorrow if you have questions.

suggestions for the rest of the year

Please write down some ideas for what to do with the rest of the year and give them to me tomorrow. Specific ideas are great but I'd also like to know what kind of content you're most intersted in (social psych? abnormal? etc.) and how you'd like to spend class time (working on projects, watching movies, doing activities, etc.). This counts for a homework grade (10 points) - due Thursday 5/13 so I can get the ball rolling!

Review sessions after school this week

I will be running review sessions after school this week on Tuesday and Thursday starting at 2:35. (I would offer Wednesday as well, but unfortunately I have a faculty meeting). Come by and stay for all OR part of it if, and bring any questions you want answered or particular sections you'd like to go over. I'll also make a couple of games (and maybe even have prizes to extrinsically motivate you!).
