Re my previous comments on Erdelyi's claims about Freud's theories of
memory, TIPSters may not be interested in the precise exegetical details
of my rebuttals, but I think a few general words are in order. What
Erdelyi has done is to take a few truncated quotations of Freud's out of
the context
Repression is a hypothetical construct.It probably has to do with our
sense of passage of time.Besides what is repressed was probably once
suppressed on a conscious level.Being in the now is the ultimate
reality and those so called repressed memories were once conscious
events.

Can anyone recommend a learning evaluation instrument--one that would
assess the extent of students learning in the classroom?Relevant items
could be :the teacher stimulates my thinking,I am really learning
alot from this course,I would recommend this course to others,I learn
more in this course
Aren't exams and assignments learning evaluations?

Tough situation. I had a similar, although less dramatic one some years
ago, and since then I have been a bit O/C studying erasures made on the
scantron forms after running them through the machine (and marking on
them to indicate I had checked, so students could not claim there was an
error).
We have a one-year replacement position, and the ad appears on the web site:

Hi folks:

It's been about 10 years since our department jettisoned the Scantron
(so I have no idea to what extent the quality of the physical machine
may have changed), but we used to use it regularly, and I used to find a
lot of scoring errors. The reader is much more sensitive and
error-prone than I was
I used to use Scantrons in huge classes and never had a problem with them. No one ever challenged it. For a Scantron to make mistakes on just one student's (out of 120), especially given his earlier poor performance, I'd say there's no way the Scantron was wrong. And the fact that he didn't even
Hi Rod, This happened to me my first semester. Like you, I wrestled with myself but eventually decided I had to give the student the benefit of the doubt. Likeother TIPSters that have jumped in, though, I now go back and mark through the correct answer by hand on Scantrons and, interestingly, Ino
How is this for an idea. Have the students, before they turn the test in

scan tron reader. We can then, if we wish keep a record of the erased
choices.this should act as a check against the student changing their

encountered a situation where an erasure has been misidentified. The
mistakes have been invariably student-mistakes, failing to erase a
changed answer or not answering a question.
I would approach the issue in the
Well, yes, but I am always hesitant to put the burden on the student
when the problem may be with the testing/scoring system that the
instructor chooses. Scantron is ultimately a system that saves an
instructor a lot of work and makes grading efficient. However, one must

Thanks to everyone who responded. After reading through your ideas and
talking with my Chair, I've decided on the following approach.
I will give the student three options, in this order:
The first option is that he can confess to cheating on the exam. If he
confesses, then he will receive a 0
Follow-up on this problem...
Just met with the student and presented him with the following three
options:
1. Confess to academic dishonesty and get a 0 on the exam.
2. Deny academic dishonesty and run answer sheet through the scantron a
second time. If the problem replicates, then he gets

Well, that's certainly an interesting statement! I'm so punchy from

It gets funnier (not really)...
Earlier tonight someone in this class used Blackboard to send an email to

that a certain quiz would count as extra credit towards their final course
