On the topic of students wanting to drop other professor's sections:
It can be very instructive to discuss with that student the reasons she/he
wants to drop that course and transfer into yours. It might be because the
other instructor is rude or abrasive, or seen as intimidating, or has very

of Psychology European scholars were more interested
in the structure of mind whereas on this side

How should the course grade be allocated?

Which movie offers the best depiction of Dissociative Identity Disorder?
Which offers the most realistic? Are they the same movie? What would
you choose for an undergraduate psychology course? Sybil? Three Faces
of Eve? K-Pax?

If you consider doing this you must get the chairpersons OK. There are
ethical issues about another prof getting paid for teaching your student.
Granted that it usually doesn't matter but in some courses that pay by the
head, I've seen this abused and I've seen people fired for committing a
fraud.
Rod--I use 3 Faces of Eve (though some students are horrified by it bec

Hi Beth,
Hi, Beth, in Human Sexuality class, i.e., Adolescent/Development
chapters, I show the rated version of American Pie (which students
love, they think it is directly applicable to their lives), but first I
indicate relevant concepts from the text. I create a handout/analysis
sheet
I have to disagree that this is dishonest. I've actually done precisely
this in a couple of situations, but only when there was a pressing reason
(e.g., the student needed the course to graduate on time, and this was the
only section that would fit his/her schedule). However, this was done a)
Beth--this is a great question. I always wrestle with the cost/benefit
of
showing movies in class. But here's what I do...
In Social Psych. I show 12 Angry Men in class and have students write a
response paper based on social psych concepts.
In Personality Theories I've had people watch
