Saving us from evolutionary thinking

1999-12-08 Thread RICKER
Deb Briihl asked: (he's Asian) and teachs evolution in his developmental class and for some strange reason, one or two students each term try to "save" him (send e-mails, mailing, etc.). Does anyone else ever get this kind of reaction from students? In the past ten years, I have only had one

RE: movies on college experience

A few weeks back, one of my African American students sponsored the showing of a movie called "Higher Learning" - followed by a panel discussion. I was unable to attend, and have not seen the movie, but I understand the response was tremendous. Apparently, the film deals in a very frank way

One of my colleagues here, a sociologist, also got the book. The American Sociological Association said they approved the mailing of a flyer advertising a book, yet the company used the mailing list to send out the actual book. The ASA has sent a scathing letter to the publisher about the abuse

As an Asian, he should be thrilled with Rushton's work! ; ) I don't remember any students trying to save me, but some have remarked on faculty evaluations that I will one day kneel before the Almighty, and will pay for my atheist views. Recently, a student contacted me by e-mail several times

I have heard from colleagues in other disciplines, particularly anthroplogy and sociology, that psychologists were not the only ones to receive this "gift." As a member of APA who has not received the book, I am feeling really cheated and left out! Jeff Nagelbush [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ferris

Suspected cheating/double-dipping

1999-12-08 Thread G. Marc Turner
Okay, it's that time of year again... I have a paper sitting in front of me from a student that looks like it might have been written for another course the student is currently taken. This student also "changed" their topic for their final project at the last minute, which is a bit strange

Did your sullabus make it clear what double-dipping is, and that it would not be allowed? Frankly, as a student, I double-dipped, not realizing it was not acceptable. I truly thought I was doing something clever and OK. So now I put it all in writing. . . . .as my syllabus gets fatter and fatter

Marc, I can empathize with you. There was a time when I might have said, "heck, he's going to fail anyway, why go through the hassle." But over the years I have changed my mind about that. I now firmly believe that teachers have the responsibility to follow-up on and _report_ all instances of

Different kind of double dipping - if you give extra credit points for participating in psych research, do you allow the student to use the same experiment for extra credit in more than one class? Many psych majors could have perhaps 3 psych classes in a semester - I don't think it's reasonable

Erica, We have researchers give student participants an extra credit "ticket" which identifies the research project and which asks the participant several simple questions about the project. These tickets are collected twice each semester. One ticket; no double-dipping. Granted this is the
