The Week Ahead (1/5 - 1/9)

Welcome Back!!!

Although I will be out of the class this month, I will be online! So please e-mail me or post questions!

Given some of the constraints we are under, we will be covering Dysfunctional Psychology instead of Developmental. Chapter Five in the Reader is on Developmental Psychology. Therefore, I have copied off for you a new Chapter Five: Abnormal Psychology! The sub, Mrs. Watkins, will distribute the sections of the chapter to you as you need them. DO NOT PANIC regarding the amount of reading. Here is why: you will have plenty of class time to work through it AND basically all month for homework.

Mr. Caro said...

Odd. Hmm, what article comes after Freud?

Anonymous said...

it starts off with 284, totally skipping 282 and 283. and it starts with like half a page then goes to theoretical propositions. so i think i will be fine.

Anonymous said...

oh and how many pages of notes do we need?

Mr. Caro said...

Jeez! Must e a printing error! Sorry Omar.

Anonymous, I don't know what you are referring to. If it is the same article, it is a JAS.

This was due weeks ago!

Hey Caro,

Unknown said...

Anonymous said...

Mr. Caro said...

Right, thanks Mike! Brie, that is for those testing in IB Psych in the spring. I will need a final draft with the word count.

luangrath said...

I'm going to have a hard time cutting my word count down Mr Caro! :(

Thank you for doing these videos Mr. Caro! They really helped. I couldn't help but notice, however, that, for your example outline for memory in this video, one line said "The Biology if Memory." I thought that was kind of funny.

I, like Narintohn "Noble Beast" Luangrath, will also require help in cutting down my word count. As you can see, I even had trouble doing it for this post.

Caro-i have a question-
It said in my notes that there is physical evidence of the neural network model, is there physical evidence of the semantic network model? I want to say there isn't, but i don't want to get marked down in my essay..so is there?

Alana said...

please tell me we are going to have the option of two essays to choose from!!

Anonymous said...

i'm so freaked out Mr Caro!
I've made like 3 outlines for the different questions so far and i STILL can't remember the information.

Mr. Caro said...

Hang in there everyone! I will cut down the options to only two.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

Today we made sure the sub didn't erase your writing for the agenda on the board, haha. =)

Your videos and review session were so helpful, thank you!

Hey Caro and Mike,
Thanks for letting me know about the IA. I was pretty much freaking out! And Omar that would SO NOT be funny if that were true... ;)

Caro, I have a quick question about the notes on Domhoff. Will she be collecting those tomorrow along with the JAS forms or just stamping them?

PS I have missing pages in my reader too... weird

Mr. Caro said...

Brie,

Those notes will also be collected.
