This link was posted on the pod list today so some of you have probably seen
it; but for those of you for whom it is new, it supports what we have probably

Consider you are teaching 3 sections of the same course,one section meets MWF
for 50 mins each time,the other section meets T Th for 80 mins each time, and

Given that this uncharacteristically disagreeable thread
concerning whether Allen Esterson's posts are are too long
(although this applies to many others) continues to rage, it's
time I expressed an opinion.
Recent postings on TIPS are unfortunately beginning to remind
me of that famous
But honestly, I DID read Catcher in the Rye and Romeo and Juliet and Lord of
the Flies, 1984 etc. even though I HATED doing it, didn't like reading them one

ironically I do remember a lot about them, because there
I did those things too. And I remember feeling somewhat isolated because I did
and the vast majority of my peers did not.
I don't think these things have changed. There are still hard working
intellectual students. They are the minority.
I stand by my opinion on this. I think we exaggerate
In regard to the discussion of the learning/reading/poor studying habits of
many of our students, are there many on this list that didn't do the things

these things. If they did, perhaps many of them would be on

That's an interesting empirical question. It would be great if someone could
collect old and new syllabi, exams, etc.
I am going to dispute this on one basis. The introductory psychololgy class is
WAY different, much harder than it was when we started undergraduate school.

Hello everyone,
I am starting to look for some classic and/or new psychology-based books
that would be ideal for a new psychology faculty member. As a recent grad
and a new assistant professor, I want to start building my library of
resource and reference books. Some teaching reference books or

Hi Colleen
Not exactly what you are after, but here are some links to on-line resources
