Hi all,
The Undergraduate Education in Psychology book group met last month to discuss chapter 1. After introductions, the group discussed our general observations and thoughts regarding the chapter. In order to achieve psychological literacy, students must be prepared to do the work, and psychology courses must be well-taught. What does a well-taught course look like? How do we educate people as to what psychology is and is not? What should we teach in Intro Psych, the only psychology course most students will ever take? Would you like to join us for the live discussion of chapter 2? We meet online the third Wednesday of the month at 7pm ET/4pm PT. All you need is a Java-enabled browser. A microphone would be a nice addition - it's easier to talk than type. We use Elluminate. Email me off-list for the link: [email protected] If you can't make the live discussions but would still like to discuss the book (one chapter each month), you're welcome to join our Google Group for asynchronous discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/undergradpsych To join, you'll need to 'apply for membership.' The threshold for membership is pretty low; I just need to believe you're human. =) Don't have the book yet? Order it here: http://books.apa.org/books.cfm?id=4316115&toc=yes If you have any questions, drop me an email.
